Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #96

Evaluate the convergent improper integral \(\int_0^{\pi/4} dx/[\cos^3x\sqrt{2\sin2x}]\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 6/5
  1. For 0<x≤π/4, cos x>0 and √(2sin2x)=2cos x√(tan x). Thus the integrand is sec⁴x/[2√(tan x)].
  2. Set u=tan x, du=sec²x dx, changing the limits to 0,1. The integral is (1/2)∫₀¹(u^(−1/2)+u^(3/2))du.
  3. Both powers are integrable at 0. Evaluate [√u+u^(5/2)/5]₀¹=1+1/5.
  4. Therefore the integral equals 6/5.
