MHB Simple closed form for integral

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a closed form for the integral involving trigonometric and logarithmic functions. The integral in question is $$\int_{0}^{1}t\cos(2t\pi)\tan(t\pi)\ln[\sin(t\pi)]\mathrm dt$$ and is proposed to equal $$\frac{1}{\pi}\cdot\frac{\ln 2}{2}(1-\ln 2)$$. Participants express a desire for hints to approach the solution, indicating a lack of progress over time. The request for assistance remains unanswered after multiple follow-ups. The conversation highlights the challenge of solving complex integrals in mathematical analysis.

How may we go about to show that,

$$\int_{0}^{1}t\cos(2t\pi)\tan(t\pi)\ln[\sin(t\pi)]\mathrm dt=\color{green}{1\over \pi}\cdot\color{blue}{{\ln 2\over 2}(1-\ln 2)}$$

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

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...
