    Show that: Integral ln(sinx) from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sinx) from x = ℿ/2 to ℿ. Now sin(ℿ-x) = sinx, as sin(ℿ-x) = sinℿ*cos(-x) + cosℿ*sin(-x) So, sin(ℿ-x) = 0*cos(-x) + (-1)*sin(-x) = 0 + (-1)*(-sinx) = sinx. Consider the integral ln(sinx) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2. Now as sinx = sin(ℿ-x), then integral ln(sinx) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sin(ℿ-x) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 Now, let u = ℿ-x. Then du = -dx. So, when x = 0, u = ℿ, and when x = ℿ/2, then u = ℿ/2. So, integral ln(sin(ℿ-x) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sunu) (-du) from u = ℿ to ℿ/2 = Integral ln(sinu) du from u = ℿ/2 to ℿ = integral ln(sinx) dx from x = ℿ/2 to ℿ, when the dummy variable u is replaced by x So, integral ln(sinx) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sinx) dx from x = ℿ/2 to ℿ. So, we don't need to rely on the graph to know these two definite integrals are equal.

    I have a question. ln[sin(x)] has a vertical asymptote at x=0. ln[sin(x)] ---> -inf as x ---> 0. How do you know that the original int of ln[sin(x)] from 0 to pi/2 converges in the first place? This method requires that the original integral converges to a finite number. If it doesn't, then your method just gives -inf = -inf. What am I missing?

  • @TheEternalVortex42

    It's true, to be rigorous you need to prove that it converges in the first place. One way is to write log(sin x) = log(x) + log(sin x / x). Since sin x / x -> 1 as x -> 0 the second term is bounded and it's easy to show that the improper integral of log(x) converges since it has a simple antiderivative.

    You have to prove that the improper integral exists and it´s a real number. To do that, you just need the comparison theorem(sin(x)/x tends to 1 as x tends to 0) and the fact of log is monotone. (improper integral of log(x) between 0 and 1 exists)

    Good question. Even if the region is not bounded, the area of the region can still be finite as long as the "region gets smaller quickly enough". For a one-dimensional version, consider the famous geometric series 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+.... This series evaluates to 1 (NOT infinity), even though we are adding an infinitely many values. If the values (or the areas) approach zero at a fast enough rate, the sum can approach a finite value.

    2 years late but if you are still interested, when you make the substitution u = 2x, the bounds of the integral also change. So the areas are still the same since the change in bounds and the du = 2 dx effectively scale the area to make them equal.

And if we could insert the complex definition of sine in there shouldn´t we be able to create a perfectly integratable function? i´m very bad at log functions and properties cause i never learnt them so i got myself into a bind trying to get an integratable function but for someone a bit better at logarithms it should be easy right?

    Show that: Integral ln(sinx) from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sinx) from x = ℿ/2 to ℿ. Now sin(ℿ-x) = sinx, as sin(ℿ-x) = sinℿ*cos(-x) + cosℿ*sin(-x) So, sin(ℿ-x) = 0*cos(-x) + (-1)*sin(-x) = 0 + (-1)*(-sinx) = sinx. Consider the integral ln(sinx) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2. Now as sinx = sin(ℿ-x), then integral ln(sinx) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sin(ℿ-x) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 Now, let u = ℿ-x. Then du = -dx. So, when x = 0, u = ℿ, and when x = ℿ/2, then u = ℿ/2. So, integral ln(sin(ℿ-x) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sunu) (-du) from u = ℿ to ℿ/2 = Integral ln(sinu) du from u = ℿ/2 to ℿ = integral ln(sinx) dx from x = ℿ/2 to ℿ, when the dummy variable u is replaced by x So, integral ln(sinx) dx from x = 0 to ℿ/2 = integral ln(sinx) dx from x = ℿ/2 to ℿ. So, we don't need to rely on the graph to know these two definite integrals are equal.

    In definite integration, we can safely ignore the "relationship" between u and x after the substitution is complete (in fact, we can actually make the substitution x to pi/2-x if we wish!). To see what exactly happened, consider the three integrals: integral from 0 to 1 of x^2 dx, integral from 0 to 1 of u^2 du, and integral from 0 to 1 of (smiley face)^2 d(smiley face). All three integrals have the same value because definite integrals are independent of what letter is used to denote the variable (that is, if you change all the u's to x's or all the u's to (smiley face)'s, the value of the integral is unchanged). Perhaps the explanation in the video would be clearer if you think of it as making the u-substitution first THEN changing all the u's to x's to get an integral with the same value.

    I tried... But didn't quite get all the way to the answer. The most promising result I got by setting I(b) = integral_0^pi/2 ln(sin(x)*cos(b)) dx. Then we have I'(b) = -pi/2*tan(b), and I(b) = pi/2*ln(cos(b))+C. We are looking for I(0). Setting b = 0 gives I(0) = C, so we have I(b) = pi/2*ln(cos(b))+I(0). You can set b = pi/3 to get I(pi/3) = pi/2*ln(cos(pi/3))+I(0) = -pi/2*ln(2)+I(0). Since we want to prove that I(0) = -pi/2*ln(2), this reduces the problem to showing that I(pi/3) = 2*I(0). That looks promising. Unfortunately, it's where I get stuck. If you can show that integral_0^pi/2 ln(sin(x)/2) dx = 2*integral_0^pi/2 ln(sin(x)) dx, you are done. Good luck!

    ThomasHaberkorn think of x as a arbitrary variable, and when he uses u-sub it becomes a “different” variable, but he “realigns” the equation back by modifying the bounds of integration so that it becomes the same result. An example would be if you integrated cos(x+pi) from 0 to pi, you could use u-sub u= x+ pi, as you can see it shifts the whole equation back by pi, so if you then shift the upper and lower bounds the other way, it cancels each other out and you’re left with essentially the same integral, and can treat u and x as the same thing.

    Keep in mind, indefinite integrals don't really mean anything in the real world if you're trying to actually find something. When your calculus professor is asking you to solve an indefinite integral, he wants you to give the most accurate answer, and bounds are just a part of it if you are given one. If not, back-substitution is the only way you can show you actually have the right answer.
