Integration of log(sin x) from 0 to pi/2

The integration of log(sin x) from 0 to pi/2 is -π/2 log2. In this section, we will find the integral of log sinx from 0 to pi/2. The following property will be used to calculate the integral. $\int_0^af(x)dx=\int_0^af(a-x)dx$ …(i) Integral of log(sin x) from 0 to pi/2 Question: Show that $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log \sin x dx … Read more

An Introduction to Integral Calculus

Introduction to Integral Calculus: In Differential Calculus, we have learned how to find the derivative/differential of a differentiable function. The study of the inverse method of differential calculus is the main purpose of integral Calculus. We now understand this with an example. Let f(x) be a function with $f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}$(f(x)) = 3×2. From this information, can … Read more

Integration by Substitution Method

Integration by Substitution Method: Some Important Forms with Examples Let f(x)  be an integrable function in one variable x. If we have to integrate some well-known twisted form of f(x),  then we may take the help of the substitution method. Here we list some important forms. Form 1: $\int f(ax+b) dx$ can be solved by the … Read more

Solved Problems Using Definition of Definite Integrals

Here we solve few problems of definite integrals. Problem 1:  By the definition of definite integrals, find `int_a^b dx`. Solution: From the definition of definite integrals, we have `int_a^b dx=lim_{h to 0} h sum_{1}^{n} 1, quad` where ` nh=b-a`             `=lim_{h to 0} h (1+1+1+ cdots text{till} n text{-terms})`             `=lim_{h … Read more
