Visualized Solution (English)
Analyze the Integrand
- Given integral: I=∫1+x1−xdx
- Observe the structure: 1+u1−u where u=x.
- The domain of the integrand is x∈[0,1].
Choosing the Substitution
- To simplify the radical, we use the substitution: x=cos2θ
- This implies x=cosθ.
- Note: θ∈[0,π/2] ensures cosθ is positive.
Differentiating the Substitution
- Differentiate x=cos2θ with respect to θ:
- dθdx=2cosθ(−sinθ)
- dx=−2sinθcosθdθ
Substituting into the Integral
- Substitute x and dx into the integral:
- I=∫1+cosθ1−cosθ(−2sinθcosθ)dθ
Simplifying the Radical
- Use half-angle identities:
- 1−cosθ=2sin2(2θ) and 1+cosθ=2cos2(2θ)
- The radical becomes: 2cos2(θ/2)2sin2(θ/2)=tan(2θ)
- Integral: I=∫tan(2θ)(−2sinθcosθ)dθ
Expanding the Sine Term
- Substitute tan(2θ)=cos(θ/2)sin(θ/2) and sinθ=2sin(2θ)cos(2θ):
- I=∫cos(θ/2)sin(θ/2)(−2⋅2sin(2θ)cos(2θ)cosθ)dθ
- Cancel cos(2θ): I=−4∫sin2(2θ)cosθdθ
Linearizing the Squared Sine
- Use the identity 2sin2(2θ)=1−cosθ:
- I=−2∫(1−cosθ)cosθdθ
Distributing the Cosine
- Distribute cosθ:
- I=−2∫(cosθ−cos2θ)dθ
- Use the identity cos2θ=21+cos2θ:
- I=−2∫(cosθ−21+cos2θ)dθ
Performing the Integration
- Integrate term by term:
- I=−2[sinθ−21(θ+2sin2θ)]+C
- Simplify: I=−2sinθ+θ+2sin2θ+C
- Using sin2θ=2sinθcosθ:
- I=−2sinθ+θ+sinθcosθ+C
Back Substitution
- Substitute back using x=cos2θ:
- cosθ=x⇒θ=cos−1x
- sinθ=1−cos2θ=1−x
- Final Answer: I=−21−x+cos−1x+x1−x+C
Key Takeaways
- Key Takeaway: Trigonometric substitution is powerful for simplifying radical expressions.
- Pattern Recognition: 1+u1−u suggests u=cosθ.
- Challenge: Try evaluating ∫1+x1−xdx using x=cosθ and compare the steps.
