How do I integrate this in mathematica?

Posted 10 years ago

Hi!

How do I find an antiderivative to this expression? I´ve tried with the Integrate [...,x] but nothing comes out. Im supposed to answere with the coefficient in front of the x. Can´t seem to get it right.

(24 - 10*sin x + sin^2 x)^2/(6 - 5*sin x + sin^2 x)

I'd recommend trying with Mathematica format.

ii = Integrate[(24 - 10 Sin[x] + Sin[x]^2)^2/(6 - 5 Sin[x] +  Sin[x]^2), x]

(*(135 x)/2 + (9 ArcTan[(1 - 3 Tan[x/2])/(2 Sqrt[2])])/Sqrt[2] - (
 128 ArcTan[(1 - 2 Tan[x/2])/Sqrt[3]])/Sqrt[3] + 15 Cos[x] - 1/4 Sin[2 x]*)

Hi!

No worries Suvadip.Thank you for your time and input.

And thank you Nasser. Interesting!

Mathematica result contains discontinuities in the antiderivatives which is not desirable, as typically happen when using the common u=tan(x/2) substitution.

Rubi package produces a smooth antiderivative. Here is the difference

Hi Peter,

I am really sorry. I did not notice the whole square thing in the numerator. I actually overlooked that. I have checked the notebook file you have attached and whatever you have done is correct. So I see you have got the answer.

Suvadip.

Hi Suvadip

I´m inclosing a document to show you how I have done. Please have a look and tell me if it´s right.

Hi Peter,

I have tried to evaluate the anti derivative i.e. integration of the function you have supplied.The result is the following.

In[1] = Integrate[(24 - 10 Sin[x] + (Sin[x])^2)/(6 - 5 Sin[x] + (Sin[x])^2),x]
Out[1] = x + (3 ArcTan[(1 - 3 Tan[x/2])/(2 Sqrt[2])])/Sqrt[2] -16 ArcTan[(1 - 2 Tan[x/2])/Sqrt[3]])/Sqrt[3]

It works fine. Perhaps you did not use the syntax properly.

The plot what I have got is,

Plot[x + (3 ArcTan[(1 - 3 Tan[x/2])/(2 Sqrt[2])])/Sqrt[2] - (16 ArcTan[(1 - 2 Tan[x/2])/Sqrt[3]])/Sqrt[3], {x, -8, 8}]
