Integration failure
Int (ln(tan(X)))/((sin(X))(cos(X))) returns the integral

TI NSpire returns ((ln(tan(X)))^2)/2

Both return same answer in approximate mode.

RE: Integration failure
...that is, when made into a definite integral!

Are you sure the parentheses in your input are correct? As shown, the integral ends before the division sign, which I suspect is not what you wanted.

RE: Integration failure
If you derive (ln(tan(x)))^2, there should be a (1+tan(x)^2) term, but I don't see it in your input (which has strange parenthesis and missing * sign).

RE: Integration failure
Hello Bernard.
Using 1+tan^2 = 1/cos^2,
the derivative of ((ln(tan(x))^2)/2 is ln(tan(x))/(sin(x)*cos(x)),
which is what I think the original poster meant.
I have no Prime to verify though.

Cheers, Werner

* is missing and parenthesis levels are "untidy" ;-)
Best,

Aries :-)

RE: Integration failure
Hi!

This is what I get (with 10077).

Irdheat is OK.

Marcel.

Xcas also behaves the same. Thanks!

RE: Integration failure
Then you can solve it with trigtan
a:=int(ln(tan(x))/(sin(x)*cos(x))); trigtan(a)

RE: Integration failure
Don't know if this is related or not but ∫(ln(tan(x)),x) returns the following screen shot:

   

the denominator is +([TAN(x)^2 1]). The plus sign is located incorrectly but when you copy it onto the command line it is correct.

This is with 10077.

RE: Integration failure
This is unrelated, but thanks for the bug report!
