Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the integral ∫dx/sen(x), with participants expressing confusion over a solution presented in French. The scope includes aspects of problem-solving in calculus and the challenges of understanding mathematical notation across languages.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in understanding the solution to the integral due to the language barrier.
  • Another participant humorously translates basic trigonometric functions from French to English, which does not contribute to solving the integral.
  • A later reply critiques the original post for being miscategorized, suggesting it should be moved to the Homework Help forums and that the poster should provide their work to facilitate assistance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the post is misplaced in the technical math forums and should be moved to the Homework Help section. However, there is no consensus on the solution to the integral itself, as the original problem remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific mathematical steps or solutions to the integral, and there is an absence of detailed attempts from the original poster, which may limit the ability to provide assistance.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in calculus, particularly those facing language barriers in mathematical discussions, may find this exchange relevant.

So I was solving a problem and I had to find the solution for ∫dx/sen(x) and I found this, but because the forum is in french I wasn't able to understand the solution :P (especially the last two steps)

Thanks!

Here is the translation from French to English:

##\sin = \sin##
##\cos = \cos##
##\tan = \tan##

Part of the problem is that this looks like a schoolwork problem, so you have misposted it in the technical math forums. It belongs in the Homework Help forums, and you should fill out the HH Template when you re-post it there. That includes showing your work on trying to figure it out.

Thread is locked. Please re-post in the Homework Help, Calculus & Beyond forum, and show your attempts when you fill out the HH Template there.
