Takeaways
- ๐ Trigonometric substitution is a method used to find the indefinite integral of certain functions.
- ๐ Three key forms to recognize for trigonometric substitution are: โ(a^2 - x^2), โ(x^2 + a^2), and โ(x^2 - a^2).
- ๐งฎ For โ(a^2 - x^2), substitute x with a sine function, i.e., x = a * sin(ฮธ), and dx becomes a * cos(ฮธ) dฮธ.
- ๐ For โ(x^2 + a^2), use the tangent substitution, i.e., x = a * tan(ฮธ), and dx is a * sec^2(ฮธ) dฮธ.
- ๐ For โ(x^2 - a^2), replace x with a secant function, i.e., x = a * sec(ฮธ), and dx is a * sec(ฮธ)tan(ฮธ) dฮธ.
- ๐ Example problem: To integrate โ(4 - x^2) / x^2, recognize it as โ(a^2 - x^2) with a = 2, and substitute x accordingly.
- ๐งฉ Simplify the integrand by using trigonometric identities, such as 1 - sin^2(ฮธ) = cos^2(ฮธ).
- ๐ After integrating, convert back to the original variable (x) using the substitution relationships established earlier.
- ๐ ๏ธ Use SOHCAHTOA principles to find the missing sides of a right triangle and relate ฮธ back to x.
- ๐ For more complex integrals, consider further substitution, like u-substitution, to simplify the expression.
- ๐ The final answer should include the original variable (x) and a constant (c) representing the antiderivative.
