Trig Integrals without immediate answers Flashcards
If the power of cos is odd…
factor out 1 cosx
replace remaining even powered cosx ‘s with cos^2(x)=1-sin^2(x)
u substitution where u=sinx
If the power of sin is odd…
factor out 1 sinx
replace remaining even powered sinx ‘s with sin^2(x)=1-cos^2(x)
u substitution were u=cosx
If the power of sinx or/and cosx is/are even…
use 1/2 angle formulas:
sin^2(x)=(1/2)(1-cos(2x))
cos^2(x)=(1/2)(1+cos(2x))
sinxcosx=(1/2)(sin(2x))
If power of tanx is odd (and secantx is present)…
factor out secxtanx
replace remaining even powered tanx ‘s with tan^2(x)=sec^2(x)-1
u substitution where u=secx du=secxtanx
If power of sec is even…
factor out sec^2(x)
replace with sec^2(x)=tan^2(x) +1
use u substitution where u=tanx and du=sec^2(x)
