    Integral Sine
AI Thread Summary
The integral in question is $$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sin\left({x\over 2}\right)\ln^2\left[\sin\left({x\over 4}\right)\sin\left({x\over 8}\right)\right]={27\over 2}+\ln^2(2)+\ln(2).$$ Participants express curiosity about the complexity of the problem and inquire if solutions are available. There is a suggestion to move the discussion to a different forum for unsolved challenges if no solutions are provided. The original poster confirms they are seeking help because they do not have a solution. The conversation emphasizes the need for clearer titles for better engagement.

How to prove this integral,

$$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\sin\left({x\over 2}\right)\ln^2\left[\sin\left({x\over 4}\right)\sin\left({x\over 8}\right)\right]={27\over 2}+\ln^2(2)+\ln(2)$$

Where are you getting these monstrosities from?

Hi Tony and welcome to MHB! :D

Why are you posting these problems? Also, do you have the solutions?

I am considering moving them to the "Challenge Questions an Puzzles" forum and I can mark them as "Unsolved Challenges" if you do not have solutions.

Also, I encourage you to give more meaningful titles to your threads - I will be renaming several of them in the near future.

Good evening,

Hi greg1313,

No, I have no solution for them, that why I am posting them for a solution.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
