RE: Some integrals with problematic evaluation
Code:
int(tan(x)*tan(x-A),x)
This integral is of the tan(a+bx)*tan(c+dx) general form, where IF b^2-d^2 is 0 AND bc-ad isn't 0, we can rewrite with secants into
Code:
-bx/d+(b/d)cos((bc-ad)/d)*int(sec(a+bx)sec(c+dx),x)
So we are now at
Code:
-x+cos(a)*int(sec(a-x)sec(x),x)
which isn't much better. Nevertheless, for an integral of the general form
Code:
int(sec(a+bx)sec(c+dx),x)
it can be split into
Code:
csc((bc-ad)/d)int(tan(a+bx),x)+csc((bc-ad)/b)int(tan(c+dx),x)
Knowing that the integral
Code:
int(tan(c+dx),x)=1/d*ln(cos(c+dx))
we apply this twice, and after the simplification of the trigonometric functions arrive to
Code:
-x+cot(a)ln(cos(a-x))-cot(a)ln(cos(x))
