Hello fellow physicists, I am taking a course "Introduction to Cosmology" and I am asked to solve this equation called the Friedmann equation. I understand what it represents (scale factor of cosmic time) but I have no idea how to solve this differential equation, even though I took a whole...
I think in the case of "n da" you can see the denominator (1+x^2) as a constant, so
∫ ( sin(a) + M^2 ) / ( 1 + x^2 ) da
= ( 1 / ( 1 + x^2 ) ) * ∫ (sin(a) + M^2 ) da
= ( 1 / ( 1 + x^2 ) ) * ( -cos(a) + (M^2)a )
= ( - cos(a) + (M^2)a ) / ( 1 + x^2 )

Is this the way to go? This is my...
