Calculating a crazy trigonometric integral

206 Views Asked by At

What is the fastest and best way to do this crAZy integral? $$ \int\frac{1-\tan^4\theta d\theta}{\tan^{\frac{9}{6}}\theta(\sec^2 \theta+\tan\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}+\tan^{\frac{10}{6}}\theta (\sec^2 \theta+ \tan\theta)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$$

I tried substituting:

$ \tan x = t$

but that comes out to something more ugly..

$$ \int\frac{(1-\tan^4\theta) d\theta}{\tan^{\frac{9}{6}}\theta(\sec^2 \theta+\tan\theta)^{\frac{1}{2}}+\tan^{\frac{10}{6}}\theta (\sec^2 \theta+ \tan\theta)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$$

$$ \rightarrow \int \frac{ \sec^2 \theta (1- \tan^2 \theta) d\theta}{ \tan^{\frac{3}{2}} \theta \left[\sec^2 \theta + \tan \theta \right]^{\frac{1}{2}} + \tan^{ \frac{5}{3} } \theta \left[\sec^2 \theta + \tan \theta \right]^{\frac{1}{3}}}$$

$$ \rightarrow \int \frac{ \sec^2 \theta (1- \tan^2 \theta) d\theta}{ \tan^2 \theta \left[ ( \frac{\sec^2 \theta}{\tan \theta} +1 )^{\frac{1}{2}} + ( \frac{\sec^2 \theta}{\tan \theta} +1 )^{\frac{1}{3}} \right]}$$

$$ k= \frac{\sec^2 \theta}{\tan \theta} +1 $$

$$ dk = - \frac{ \sec^2 \theta (1- \tan^2 \theta)}{ \tan^2 \theta} d\theta$$

$$ \int \rightarrow -\frac{dk}{ k^{\frac{1}{2}} + k^{\frac{1}{3}}}$$

$$k^{\frac{1}{6} } = y$$

$$ dk = 6y^5 dy$$

$$ \rightarrow \int \frac{ - 6 y^5 dy}{y^3 + y^2}$$

$$=-2y^3 +3y^2-6y +6log(y+1) +C$$

And sub back $$ y= \left( \frac{\sec^2 \theta +1}{ \tan \theta} \right)^6$$
