Evaluate Trig Subs Integral w/ e^x = sin∅

In summary, to evaluate the given integral using trigonometric substitution, we first equate e^x to sin∅ and substitute x with ln(sin∅). Then, using the substitution dx = cos∅/sin∅, we can rewrite the integral as ∫ sin∅cos∅/sin∅(cos∅) dx. Simplifying further, we get ∫ 1 dθ, which can be integrated to give the final answer of θ + C.

Homework Statement


Use a trigonometric substitution to evaluate the integral.


Homework Equations


[itex]\int e^x\,dx [/itex] [itex]/\sqrt{1-e^2x}[/itex]


The Attempt at a Solution


e^x = sin∅
x=lnsin∅
dx=cos∅/sin∅


[itex]\frac{sin∅*cos∅}{sin∅*\sqrt{1-(sin∅)^2}}[/itex]





[itex]\int sin∅cos∅
/
sin∅(cos∅)\,d∅ [/itex]



[itex]\int \,d∅ = ∅[/itex]

e^x = sin∅
∅ = arcsin(e^x)

answer:
∅ + C
arcsin(e^x) + c

hi whatlifeforme! :smile:
whatlifeforme said:
sin∅/sqrt(1-(sin∅)^2)



[itex]\int sin∅cos∅
/
sin∅(cos∅)^2\,dx [/itex]

nooo :redface:

you forgot the sqrt :wink:

(btw it's easier to say ex = sinθ, so exdx = cosθdθ)

so it should be

[itex]\int sin∅cos∅
/
sin∅(cos∅)\,dx[/itex]

thus,[itex]\int 1\,d∅[/itex]

e^x = sin∅
∅ = arcsin(e^x)

answer: arcsin(e^x) + c

yup! :biggrin:

(except of course that integral should have been ∫ 1 dθ :wink:)

What is trigonometric substitution?

Trigonometric substitution is a technique used to solve integrals involving expressions with trigonometric functions. It involves substituting a trigonometric function (such as sine, cosine, or tangent) for a variable in an integral to simplify the expression.

How do you evaluate an integral using trigonometric substitution?

To evaluate an integral using trigonometric substitution, you first need to identify the integral as being solvable using this technique. Then, you choose a substitution that will simplify the expression and make it easier to integrate. Finally, you can use trigonometric identities and basic integration rules to solve the integral.

What is the role of e^x in trigonometric substitution?

e^x (or the natural exponential function) is often used in trigonometric substitution because it is the derivative of many trigonometric functions. This allows us to use substitution to rewrite the integral in terms of e^x and then integrate using basic rules.

How do you use e^x = sin∅ in trigonometric substitution?

To use the equation e^x = sin∅ in trigonometric substitution, we can rewrite the integral in terms of e^x and use the inverse trigonometric function (arcsine) to solve for ∅. This will allow us to simplify the integral and solve it using basic integration rules.

Can trigonometric substitution be used for all integrals?

No, not all integrals can be solved using trigonometric substitution. It is only applicable to integrals that can be simplified by substituting a trigonometric function for a variable. Other techniques, such as integration by parts or partial fractions, may be needed for other types of integrals.
