Write 1+I in polar form as sqrt(2)*exp(i pi/4) to find x= 1/2 ln(2)+ i pi (2k +1/4) for arbitrary integer k. I don't much like the sound of the 3 Ks in your name though, und ich spreche auch ein bisschen deutsch.

For the second problem, if you differentiate e^x*sinx 4 times, you end up getting -4e^x*sinx, meaning that every 4 derivatives, you're just multiplying by -4. Notice that 2022/4 is 505 with a remainder of 2, meaning we're going to be multiplying by -4 505 times, then differentiating twice more. So that gives us (-4)^505*e^x*sinx. If we differentiate that twice more, we get (-4)^505*2*e^x*cosx, which is our 2022nd derivative. Now we can plug in 0 for x, which leaves (-4)^505*2. We can simplify this a bit to get (-2^2)^505*2=(-1)^505*2^1011. Recall that -1 to an odd power is simply -1, so the answer is just -2^1011

Yeah, an equivalent way which I wrote below is to split the integration between 1/e and 1, and 1 and e, then do the same substitution in just one of the ranges.

Great video! Good explanations. I'm glad for you and everyone attending the BMT.

At 10:50, we may use kings property and formula for arc tan a + arc tan b that would give arc tan infinity put (pi/2) there and just solve. Quite a bit easier that way

The last one I never would be able to solve. Thanks for the video!

That was brilliant!!!

This is really cool man, I’m currently attending UC Berkeley right now and I think it’s awesome that you sponsored our Math Tournament as well as graduated from here!

I had another solution for the 2022 problem I set S=e^x sinx and noted that d^4/dx^4S= (-4)S. Then you can do the 2020 differentiations and get a factor of (-4)^2020 and do the last two differentiations by hand. I like your way more. At times the complex way ist just the simpler way;-)

For the third question, we can also proceed with another method from third step... we can write it as (it is a property of DI) ∫ 0 -> 1 (f(x) + f(-x)) dx then you will get something like arctan(x)+ arccot(x) which is equal to ∏/2.. ( I couldn't find the right pi 😅.. and yeah x here means the e to the power u.... Btw, noice integrals.. Would love to see more of such covered in your future videos.. 😎

i was able to do 1st and 3rd but the using complex number for 2nd was beautiful.

For the third integral, you can make the substitution u = 1/x. You find that the integral is equal to that of arccot(x)/ x on the same interval. So the integral is equal to 1/2 of ∫(arctanx + arccotx) / x dx. Then you just need that arctanx + arccotx = π/2 to find the answer quite simply.

Thanks PROF 👍

For the 3rd one, I think the shortest way is to split up the range of integration from 1/e to 1 and from 1 to e, then substitute x=1/y in the first interval to get the integral from 1 to e of ( tan(x)+tan(1/x)) /x, which is pi/2 times the integral of 1/x in this range, giving the required answer.

Please Make a Playlist with Competition Math problems ❤

For the second problem, that one Michael Penn video about linear algebra with derivatives was still fresh in my mind, so I'll be using that. Notice that when you differentiate a linear combination of e^x*sin(x) and e^x*cos(x) you get another linear combination of the two functions. Let the first number in the vector space be the e^x*sin(x) terms and the second the e^x*cos(x) terms. Differentiation can be represented by this matrix: D = [[1, -1]; [1, 1]]. The starting vector is S = [1; 0]. That means we need to find D^2022 * S. Usually when a big power of a matrix shows up it's a good idea to diagonalize: Eigenvalues: (1 + i), (1 - i) Eigenvectors: [1; i], [1; -i] D = A'XA = [[-i, -1]; [-i, 1]][[1 + i, 0]; [0, 1 - i]][[1, 1]; [i, -i]] D^2022 = A' * X^2022 * A = A' * [[(1 + i)^2022, 0]; [0, (1 - i)^2022]] * A = A' * [[-i(2^1011), 0]; [0, i(2^1011)]] * A I'm in a bit of a rush but the next step should be multiplying out A' * X * A * S to get the final result Note: I write my matrices inline like this: A = [[R1C1, R1C2, ...]; [R2C1, R2C2, ...]; ...]. Commas separate elements in rows and semicolons separate rows.

The third question is actually simpler: you divide your integral in due part ( I=1/2*(I+I) ) and in the second you substitute t=1/x. After some calculations, the 2nd integral is similar to the 1st one, except arctan(x)-->arctan(1/x); if you put them together you have I=1/2*∫(arctan(x)+arctan(1/x))/x*dx. Now we know that sum is identically pi/2 (if x>0), therefore I=pi/4*∫1/x*dx, and after elementary calculations you obtain I=pi/2

@andrewhone3346

That's essentially the same as what he ended up with, but avoiding the exponential substitution which he used to get to the identity for arctan (x) + arctan (1/x).

I think in last question integration from -1 to 1 tan( inverse) 1/e^v dv is not equal to π/2 - tan(inverse)e^v because limit of v is varry from -1 to 1 hence first we have to break it from -1 to 0 and 0 to 1 then apply tan( inverse) 1/e^v equal to -π +cot( inverse) e^v for first fraction of integral and for second cot(inverse) e^v and then apply tan( inverse) e^v +cot(inverse) e^v =π/2

I'd like to see how you did that.

You can do the 1st problem without evaluating the integral by observing at your 2nd step that ln x is a non-negative and increasing function in the domain [1,inf) so the integral goes to +inf, thus both numerator and denominator go to +inf, then you can apply L’Hopital’s rule (which nicely cancels off the integral of the numerator) to get lim n->inf (ln n) / (n ln n)’ = lim n->inf (ln n) / (1 + ln n) = 1.

Could you recommend the problem books with collections of these integral - for fun and learning. Please give me some titles?????

I like the trick in third one

Solving integrals, this is like our generation's Bob Ross

In the third integral, they should have put the limits as (1/e² to e²) instead of (1/e to e) so that the answer comes out as just π.

Great refresher for an old bum like me. I tried it and I get an answer of 1. I ended up with lim[1+1/ln(n)-1/(nln(n)] as n goes to infinity equals to 1.

No, it is a transcendental equation. You can use Newton-Raphson iteration, or write the Taylor series for tan on the left, then after cancelling out x from both sides (excluding the obvious solution x=0) you can truncate at different orders in x to get a sequence of algebraic approximations.

That's not an odd function, since it is completely different in the negative domain. It doesn't even have real numbers, except specifically at the integers. Jeff Tupper of Tupper's Self-Referential Formula, created a 3-dimensional graph of it. You can see the super-exponential in the real numbers, that U-turns and approaches 1 at x=0. Then it spirals in and out of the real numbers throughout the negative real inputs. At each negative real input, it shows up on the real numbered 2-dimensional graph as an individual point, but is undefined for all fractional inputs, since you can't take negative numbers to fractional exponents and get real solutions, except in special cases.

For the solution of the last problem, how is it legal to combine the values of pi/2 - arctan(e^v) and arctan(e^u) inside the integrals? Aren't they both integrated with respect to two different variables? (u and v, respectively)

They’re not different variables. In the integral with v, you can replace all the v with u. Or any other variable, as long as you’re consistent and don’t replace some vwith x and then some others with t, for instance. That’s what “dummy variables” mean

@chessamania5594

6 ай бұрын

​ @hapedisedivide1980 Yes, I realize that. Sorry for not being clear. But if you were to replace the variables as is defined in the solution method, you see that the result he obtains is not correct with this method. Because if you were to replace back the dummy variables for what they represent in the u world, then you get something like ∫-π/2 + arctan(e^-u)du from u = 1 to u=-1. Not only that but the top and bottom bounds for the integral changes. This results in ∫π/2 - arctan(e^-u) du from u =-1 to 1. When you do the addition, as mentioned in the final (and key) step of the problem, 2I = I + I = ∫π/2 - arctan(e^-u) + arctan(e^u) du, the arctan's don't cancel out. Dummy variables are helpful in solving for the answers but what I think happened was 2I = I + I = ∫π/2 - arctan(e^-u) du + arctan(e^v) du. Here, the arctan's don't cancel out like mentioned in the video. Which is why cancelling them out didn't really make sense to me.

3:10 Q(2) Can someone please explain why I'm wrong? So I differentiated e^x(sinx) 4 times to arrive at the 4th derivative=-2(e^xsinx) Then since the initial function is e^x sinx When we keep on differentiating for every cycle of 4 differentiations e^xsinx gets multiplied by a -2. Therefore I divided 2022 into 4 to see how many cycles of 4 are ther and go 505 and two more differentiations more from there onwards since this repeats as cycles every 4 times at the 2020th derivative we get -2^505(e^xsinx) And after differentiating 2 more times i got 2022nd derivative=2(-2^505)(e^xcox) Now when you plug in 0 you get The answer =2(-2^505) Can someone please explain.

Hey! I a similar method, got there in the end, Observing every other derivative like so, f^{0}(x) = e^xsin(x) f^{2}(x) = 2e^xcos(x) f^{4}(x) = -4e^xsin(x) f^{6}(x) = -8e^xcos(x) f^{8}(x) = 16e^xsinx ... We can discern immediately that f^{2022}(x) will contain 2^(1011). Then it's just a matter of determining what trig function will be present, cos or sin, and if there is a negative sign or not. 2022 mod 8 = 6 Hence observing f^{6}(x) we know the function will contain a negative, and have a cos(x) part. Therefore f^{2022}(x) = -2^(1011) e^x cos(x) And at x = 0, we see the result -2^(1011) Hope that helps!
