The discussion revolves around solving a mathematical problem using the Leibniz rule, with participants noting potential typos in the problem statement and expressing difficulty in applying the rule. The Leibniz rule is correctly stated, and suggestions are made to use variable substitutions, such as u = tan(x/2) or u = cos(x), to simplify the integral. Some participants recommend utilizing computational tools like Wolfram Alpha for assistance. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of the integral involved and the various strategies proposed to tackle it.

I believe there are quite a few typos in the problem statement if you are intending to use Leibniz rule. I for one have never seen an ##\text{In}## function before.

The Leibniz rule in one dimension would be:

$$\frac{d}{dx} \int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t) dt = f(b(x)) b'(x) - f(a(x)) a'(x)$$

EDIT: It would be more appropriate to call this the fundamental theorem.

at first i am use substitution. some one said
Don't use substitution, use Leibniz rule with α as the second variable.

what am i do now?
 
i know the Leibniz's rule. i solve many mathematical term . bt i cann't solve this math with Leibniz rule. i am still stuck
here. here limit is constant so 2nd and 3rd term will be zero.
 
any one solve this mathematical term and prove it??

Your application of Leibnitz' rule is correct. You could try to change variables to ##u = \cos(x)## in your integral.

See this, example 3.
Now let's do that daunting looking integral. Like I said before, this is a good problem.
First write ##\int_0^{\pi} \frac{1}{\alpha}-\frac{1}{(\alpha)(1+\alpha cos(x))} dx## for the original integral.
However ##\int \frac{1}{1+\alpha cos(x)} dx## itself is not nice, in-fact it's pretty nasty. It will be an interesting exercise to do, but even after that there is a good bit to do for the original problem. So I would recommend you use Wolfram for that for now, and proceed.

i could not solve this math above analysis . i am trying to my best. but i am fail every time. and again try...

please see this and give me more idea to solve

You can even cheat :) using wolframalpha.com.
The substitution tan(x/2)=u works well if you have a rational expression of trigonometric functions. Try.

The derivation of the OP is correct. Read Leibnitz Rule http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_integral_rule

In regards to post #9:- I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do here. Did you have a look at the links I provided in post #8. I think your trying to come up with a value for ##\int_0^{\pi} \frac{1}{1+\alpha cos(x)} dx## for ##|\alpha|<1##using ##\int_0^{\pi} \frac{1}{\alpha-cos(x)} dx=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{\alpha^2-1}}## for ##|\alpha|>1##, however that + sign in the original integral makes a good difference.

You can write your integral for ##f'(\alpha)## as ##\int_0^{\pi/2} + \int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}##, then change variables to ##x \leftarrow \pi -x## in the second integral, to get
f&#039;(\alpha) = \int_0^{\pi/2} \left[ \frac{\cos(x)}{1 + \alpha \cos(x)} - \frac{\cos(x)}{1 - \alpha \cos(x)} \right] \, dx \\<br /> = -\int_0^{\pi/2} \frac{2 \alpha \cos^2(x)}{1 - \alpha^2 \cos^2(x)} \, dx
Changing variables to ##\tan(x) = y## produces an integral in ##y## that can be split up into partial fractions, giving two well-known and easily do-able integrations.

Use the identity ##\cos(x)=\frac{1-\tan^2(x/2)}{1+\tan^2(x/2)}##. Substitute u=tan(x/2), x=2arctan(u), ##dx=\frac{2}{1+u^2}du##. The integration limits become 0-->infinite.

Yeah, your right. I didn't actually do the integral, I only saw the answer and thought, this might take some time.
