### Related Formula int frac1u^2 + a^2 du = frac1a tan^-1left(fracuaright) + C ### Core Logic Simplify the given integrand by converting all trigonometric ratios into sin x and cos x: I = fracoperatornamecosec x + sin xoperatornamecosec x sec x + tan x sin^2 x Numerator: frac1sin x + sin x = frac1 + sin^2 xsin x Denominator: frac1sin x cos x + fracsin xcos x cdot sin^2 x = frac1 + sin^4 xsin x cos x Divide Numerator by Denominator: I = fracfrac1 + sin^2 xsin xfrac1 + sin^4 xsin x cos x = frac(1 + sin^2 x)cos x1 + sin^4 x ### Step 1: Apply Substitution Now rewrite the integral: y(x) = int frac(1 + sin^2 x)cos x1 + sin^4 x dx Let sin x = t, then cos x \, dx = dt. The integral becomes: y(x) = int frac1 + t^21 + t^4 dt Divide numerator and denominator by t^2: y(x) = int frac1 + frac1t^2t^2 + frac1t^2 dt We know that t^2 + frac1t^2 = left(t - frac1tright)^2 + 2. Let u = t - frac1t, then du = left(1 + frac1t^2right) dt. y(x) = int fracduu^2 + (sqrt2)^2 = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracusqrt2right) + C y(x) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fract - 1/tsqrt2right) + C = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracsin x - operatornamecosec xsqrt2right) + C ### Step 2: Solve for Constant C We are given that lim_xrightarrow(pi/2)^- y(x) = 0. As x to fracpi2, sin x to 1 and operatornamecosec x to 1. Thus, sin x - operatornamecosec x to 0. 0 = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(frac1 - 1sqrt2right) + C 0 = frac1sqrt2tan^-1(0) + C Rightarrow C = 0 ### Step 3: Find y(pi/4) Substitute x = fracpi4 into the exact solution y(x) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracsin x - operatornamecosec xsqrt2right): At x = fracpi4, sinleft(fracpi4right) = frac1sqrt2 and operatornamecosecleft(fracpi4right) = sqrt2. yleft(fracpi4right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracfrac1sqrt2 - sqrt2sqrt2right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracfrac1 - 2sqrt2sqrt2right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(frac-1/sqrt2sqrt2right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(-frac12right) ### Pattern Recognition A high-degree polynomial of sin x or cos x in the denominator matched with their derivative elements on top is the hallmark of the t+1/t or t-1/t structural substitution form. Dividing out the middle power (t^2) aligns the differential instantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus

Numerical Answer. Answer: 15 to 15

Solution

### Related Formula int_0^a x f(x) dx = fraca2 int_0^a f(x) dx quad textif f(a-x) = f(x) ### Core Logic Let I = int_0^pi fracx^2sin xcos xsin^4x + cos^4x dx. Split the integral into int_0^pi/2 + int_pi/2^pi. For the second integral, substitute x = pi - t: I = int_0^pi/2 fracsin xcos xsin^4x + cos^4x (x^2 - (pi - x)^2) dx I = int_0^pi/2 fracsin xcos xsin^4x + cos^4x (2pi x - pi^2) dx = 2pi int_0^pi/2 x f(x) dx - pi^2 int_0^pi/2 f(x) dx where f(x) = fracsin x cos xsin^4 x + cos^4 x. Since f(pi/2 - x) = f(x), we have int_0^pi/2 x f(x) dx = fracpi4 int_0^pi/2 f(x) dx. I = 2pi left(fracpi4right) int_0^pi/2 f(x) dx - pi^2 int_0^pi/2 f(x) dx = -fracpi^22 int_0^pi/2 fracsin xcos xsin^4x + cos^4x dx To evaluate this simpler integral: I = -fracpi^22 int_0^pi/2 fracsin xcos x1 - 2sin^2 xcos^2 x dx = -fracpi^22 int_0^pi/2 fracsin 2x2 - sin^2 2x dx I = -fracpi^22 int_0^pi/2 fracsin 2x1 + cos^2 2x dx Let cos 2x = t implies -2sin 2x dx = dt.

If the integral 525 int_0^fracpi2 sin 2x cos^frac112x (1 + cos^frac52x)^frac12 dx is equal to (nsqrt2 - 64), then n is equal to
Numerical Answer. Answer: 176 to 176

Solution

### Core Logic I = int_0^fracpi2 sin 2x cdot (cos x)^frac112 (1 + (cos x)^frac52)^frac12 dx Substitute cos x = t^2 implies sin x dx = -2t dt. Since sin 2x = 2sin x cos x, we have 2(t^2)(-2t dt) = -4t^3 dt. Limits: x=0 to t=1, x=fracpi2 to t=0. I = 4 int_0^1 t^2 cdot (t^2)^frac112 sqrt1 + t^5 t dt = 4 int_0^1 t^14 sqrt1 + t^5 dt ### Step 1: Second Substitution Put 1 + t^5 = k^2 implies 5t^4 dt = 2k dk. t^5 = k^2 - 1. I = 4 int_1^sqrt2 (k^2 - 1)^2 cdot k cdot frac2k5 dk I = frac85 int_1^sqrt2 (k^6 - 2k^4 + k^2) dk ### Step 2: Evaluate the Integral I = frac85 left[ frack^77 - frac2k^55 + frack^33 right]_1^sqrt2 I = frac85 left[ frac8sqrt27 - frac8sqrt25 + frac2sqrt23 - frac17 + frac25 - frac13 right] I = frac85 left[ frac120sqrt2 - 168sqrt2 + 70sqrt2105 - frac15 - 42 + 35105 right] I = frac85 left[ frac22sqrt2105 - frac8105 right] ### Step 3: Equate with Given Form Given 525 I = nsqrt2 - 64. 525 times frac85 left( frac22sqrt2 - 8105 right) = 8 times (22sqrt2 - 8) = 176sqrt2 - 64 Comparing with (nsqrt2 - 64), we get n = 176. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Integrals

Numerical Answer. Answer: 5 to 5

Solution

### Related Formula f(x) + f(1-x) = frac4^x4^x + 2 + frac4^1-x4^1-x + 2 = 1 ### Core Logic Using the property f(x) + f(1-x) = 1, we have f(a) + f(1-a) = 1. Let limits be A = f(a) and B = f(1-a). Then A + B = 1. M = int_A^B x sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx ### Step 1: Apply King's Property Apply the property int_A^B g(x) dx = int_A^B g(A + B - x) dx. M = int_A^B (1 - x) sin^4((1 - x)(1 - (1 - x))) dx M = int_A^B (1 - x) sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx M = int_A^B sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx - int_A^B x sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx M = N - M ### Step 2: Conclusion 2M = N Given alpha M = beta N, we get alpha = 2 and beta = 1 (for least integral values). Thus, alpha^2 + beta^2 = 2^2 + 1^2 = 5. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Integrals Class 12 Maths: Relations and Functions
