The integral evaluated is $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/8}\dfrac{\sec^2(2x)}{2+\tan\left({2x}\right)}$. A substitution method is discussed, where $u = 2 + \tan(2x)$ leads to $du = 2\sec^2(2x) \, dx$. The integral simplifies to $\dfrac{1}{2} \int_2^3 \dfrac{du}{u}$, resulting in the final answer of $\ln\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}$. Alternative substitution methods were considered, but the chosen approach effectively simplifies the problem. The discussion highlights the importance of selecting appropriate substitutions in integral calculus.

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/8}\dfrac{\sec^2(2x)}{2+\tan\left({2x}\right)}$
ok not sue if this u v is correct or maybe better...
$u=\dfrac{\tan\left(2x\right)}{\sqrt{2}}\therefore du=\sqrt{2}\sec^2(2x) dx$

one can use straight up substitution …

let $u = 2+\tan(2x) \implies du = 2\sec^2(2x) \, dx$

$\displaystyle \dfrac{1}{2} \int_2^3 \dfrac{du}{u} = \ln\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}$

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
