HallsofIvy said:It would strike me as an obvious first step to use the facts that [itex]sin(20- \theta)= sin(20)cos(\theta)- cos(20)sin(\theta)[/itex] and [itex]cos(20- \theta)= cos(20)cos(\theta)+ sin(20)sin(\theta)[/itex].
That "20" looks strange for radian measure. If it is in degrees you should remember that [itex]\int sin(x)dx= -cos(x)+ C[/itex] and [itex]\int cos(x)= sin(x)+ C[/itex] only for x measured in radians.
Integration is a mathematical process of finding the area under a curve. It involves the reverse operation of differentiation and is used to solve problems in calculus, physics, and engineering.
The purpose of integrating is to find the total or accumulated value of a variable over a given interval. It is also used to solve problems involving rates of change and motion.
First, identify the function to be integrated and the limits of integration. Then, use integration techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, or trigonometric identities to find the antiderivative of the function. Finally, evaluate the antiderivative at the limits of integration to find the final answer.
No, there is no specific order in which you should integrate. However, it is important to choose the appropriate integration technique based on the function being integrated and to check for any special cases or restrictions on the limits of integration.
Some common mistakes to avoid while integrating include forgetting to add the constant of integration, mixing up the order of integration, and misinterpreting the limits of integration. It is also important to be careful with algebraic manipulations and to double check your work for accuracy.
