In summary, the conversation is about a problem related to techniques of integration. The person understands everything until near the end of the problem, where the given answer involves converting sin(o)cos(o) to sec-1. This part is confusing for them and they ask for help. The solution involves recalling the identity sin(2o)=2sin(o)cos(o) and using triangle trigonometry to get the required result.

in the attachment there is a problem related to techniques of integration, i fully understand everything until near the end of the problem they answer says

(1/6)o - (1/12)sin2o + C = (1/6)o - (1/6)sino coso + C

and then they convert the sinocoso to sec-1

this part is really confusing...can you help me please...

thank you

Recall that [tex]\sin(2o)=2\sin (o)\cos (o)[/tex], this is the first one.

Note that, from the triangle, we have [tex]\sec (\theta ) = \frac{x}{3} \Rightarrow \theta = \sec ^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{3}\right) [/tex]
and, also from the triangle, we have [tex]\cos (\theta ) = \frac{3}{x}[/tex]

and [tex]\sin (\theta ) = \mbox{ what? }[/tex], and the required result follows.
