A + B = 2 ((A+B)/(2)) ((A-B)/(2)) 2x = 2 x x 2x = 2 ² x - 1Core Logic
Let I = 6∫₀π| 3x + x + 2x| dx. Apply sum-to-product on 3x + x: 3x + x = 2 (2x) (x)
So the expression becomes: |2 (2x) x + 2x| = | 2x (2 x + 1)| = |2 x x (2 x + 1)| Since x in [0, π], x ≥ 0. We can pull it out of the modulus. I = 12 ∫₀π x |2 ² x + x| dx
Step 1: Coordinate Substitution
Substitute t = x, then dt = - x dx. Limits: when x = 0, t = 1. When x = π, t = -1.
I = 12 ∫₋₁¹ |2t² + t| dtStep 2: Resolve Modulus Intervals
The roots of 2t² + t = 0 are t = 0 and t = -1/2. The quadratic 2t² + t is negative in the interval (-1/2, 0) and positive elsewhere. Split the integral:
I = 12 [ ∫₋₁-1/2 (2t² + t) dt - ∫-1/2⁰ (2t² + t) dt + ∫₀¹ (2t² + t) dt ]Step 3: Evaluate Integrals
Anti-derivative: F(t) = (2t³)/(3) + (t²)/(2). F(1) = 2/3 + 1/2 = 7/6 F(0) = 0 F(-1/2) = 2(-1/8)/3 + 1/8 = -1/12 + 1/8 = 1/24 F(-1) = -2/3 + 1/2 = -1/6
Evaluate each segment:
- ∫₋₁-1/2 = F(-1/2) - F(-1) = 1/24 - (-1/6) = 1/24 + 4/24 = 5/24
- -∫-1/2⁰ = -(F(0) - F(-1/2)) = -(0 - 1/24) = 1/24
- ∫₀¹ = F(1) - F(0) = 7/6 - 0 = 28/24
Sum of parts inside bracket: (5)/(24) + (1)/(24) + (28)/(24) = (34)/(24) = (17)/(12)
Step 4: Final Output
I = 12 × (17)/(12) = 17Pattern Recognition
Whenever an integral features a cascading sum of sine frequencies like (kx), pair the highest and lowest frequencies first. The resulting common factor often matches the middle term, instantly yielding a clean polynomial substitution under t = x.
