SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving an integral using the Leibniz Rule, specifically the expression $$\frac{d}{dx} \int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t) dt = f(b(x)) b'(x) - f(a(x)) a'(x)$$. Participants express confusion regarding the problem statement and suggest using variable substitutions, such as ##u = \tan(x/2)## and ##u = \cos(x)##, to simplify the integral. The conversation highlights the challenges of integrating functions like $$\int \frac{1}{1+\alpha \cos(x)} dx$$ and recommends using tools like Wolfram Alpha for assistance. The consensus is that while the Leibniz Rule is applicable, the integral remains complex and requires careful manipulation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Leibniz Rule for differentiation under the integral sign.
  • Familiarity with trigonometric identities and substitutions.
  • Knowledge of integral calculus, particularly with respect to improper integrals.
  • Experience using computational tools like Wolfram Alpha for solving integrals.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of the Leibniz Rule in various contexts, particularly in integral calculus.
  • Learn about trigonometric substitutions, specifically the tangent half-angle substitution.
  • Explore the properties and techniques for evaluating improper integrals.
  • Practice solving integrals involving trigonometric functions and their transformations.
USEFUL FOR

Students of calculus, mathematicians, and anyone tackling complex integrals using the Leibniz Rule and trigonometric substitutions.

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.

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.
