п/2
dx/(2 + sinx)2 =
0
п/2
∫dx/(4 + 4sinx + (sinx)2)
0
substitude t=tg x/2 => x=2arctgx
dx=2/(1+t2) dt
sinx=2t/(1+t2)
t=tgx/2 =>
1
(1/(4 + 4*(2t/(1+t2)) +(2t/(1+t2))2 )) * (2/(1+t2))dt =
0

1
( ((1+t2)2)/(2* (2(1+t2)2+4t(1+t2) +4t2) ) ) * (2/(1+t2))dt [
0

1
=(1+t2)/(2+4t2+2t4+4t+4t3+4t2) dt
0
= 1/2 (1+t2)/(t4+2t3+4t2+2t+1) dt
And here it is divided into two integrals, but i can't come to an answer

I think if you write the integrals as:

[tex]
\frac{1}{4}\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1+t^{2}}{\left[\left(t+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}+\frac{3}{4}\right]^{2}}
[/tex]

Then it might give you more of an idea what to do.

1. What is a definite integral?

A definite integral is a mathematical concept used to find the area under a curve between two specific values on the x-axis. It is represented by the symbol ∫ and has a lower and upper limit of integration.

2. How do you solve a definite integral?

To solve a definite integral, you must first evaluate the indefinite integral of the given function. Then, you can substitute the upper and lower limits of integration into the indefinite integral and subtract the result to find the area under the curve between those two values.

3. What is the meaning of the notation in this specific definite integral?

The notation used in this definite integral represents the function to be integrated, the variable of integration (dx), and the lower and upper limits of integration (п/2 and 0, respectively).

4. What is the role of the constant in the denominator of this definite integral?

The constant (2) in the denominator of this definite integral is a coefficient that affects the shape of the curve and the rate of change of the function. It is necessary to include it in the integration process to accurately find the area under the curve.

5. Can this definite integral be solved using any method other than substitution?

Yes, this definite integral can also be solved using integration by parts or partial fractions. However, substitution is the most efficient method for solving this specific integral.
