Hi guys you can see my problem in the attachment

I would be happy if someone could solve the last part for me, and show it in detail

Thank you very much

Substitute

u = sec(?)

Don't forget to change the limits
 


If you were to substitute sec(?) for u, then you would have sec(?)^2.

There is a Pythagorean trig-identity that allows us to express sec(?)^2 in terms of the tangent function.

Are you familiar with it? 8-)

No I am not familiar with sec at all, I dont know how to evaluate it, haven't learnt that here in sweden.

so if we have sec^2 how is it evaluated if i try ur method
 
Well - then I don't know how to do it.

After substitution and back substitution the answer would be

1/2*[x?(x[sup:36k0m72k]2[/sup:36k0m72k]-1)-log{2[?(x[sup:36k0m72k]2[/sup:36k0m72k]-1)+x]}] + C

Strange - scandanavian countries score very high in math competitions.
 
For integrals of the form \(\displaystyle \int\sqrt{u^{2}-a^{2}}du\)

use the hyperbolic sub \(\displaystyle u=a\cdot cosh(t), \;\ du=a\cdot sinh(t)dt\)

In your case, a=1.

They come in handy for integrals of this form.

Makes for an easier integration than with the sec sub anyway. At least, I always thought so.

Continuing:

\(\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}\int_{1}^{3}\sqrt{u^{2}-1}du\)

Make the sub \(\displaystyle u=cosh(t), \;\ du=sinh(t)dt\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{cosh^{-1}(3)}sinh^{2}(t)dt\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}\int_{0}^{cosh^{-1}(3)}\frac{1}{2}(cosh(2t)-1)dt\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}\left(\frac{1}{4}sinh(2t)-\frac{t}{2}\right)\left|_{0}^{cosh^{-1}(3)}\right\)

\(\displaystyle \approx 5.28\)

Do y'all use hyperbolic trig in Sweden?.

Then you must be familiar with sine, cosine, and tangent, yes?

Each of those three trigonometric functions has a reciprocal, and the reciprocals are named as the cosecant, secant, and cotangent functions, respectively.

csc = 1/sin

sec = 1/cos

cot = 1/tan

There are three Pythagorean trig identities:

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

1 + cot^2 = csc^2

tan^2 + 1 = sec^2
