SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the reformulation of the integral ∫(sinθ/cosθ)d(sin2θ) into ∫[sinθ(2sinθcosθ)/cosθ]dθ. The transformation involves recognizing that d(sin2θ) can be expressed as 2sinθcosθ dθ, allowing the sin²θ term to be factored out. This integral manipulation is essential for solving more complex physics problems that involve trigonometric functions.

This is a small portion of a bigger physics problem I am trying to solve, but I can't get passed this little integrand reformulation.

How does this

∫(sinθ/cosθ)d(sin2θ)

Become

∫[sinθ(2sinθcosθ)/cosθ]dθ

Basically, how is the sin2 taken out of the d(sin2θ) and the θ left in the dθ?

Thanks

##d(f(\theta))=\frac{df(\theta)}{d\theta} d\theta##. Is that enough?

It is more than enough

Thanks
