Makes you wonder why. Is it faster to compute than an antiderivative for a computer or something?

This integral (with sinx instead of cosx) was calculated by Euler more than 250 years ago. You have used a similar idea, but Euler goes backwards, and that makes calculation so much easier. First, he does the substitution x=2t and makes I=ln2*pi/2+ two integrals of 2ln(sint) and 2ln(cost), both from 0 to pi/4. In the second one he does change t=pi/2-u, which makes that an integral of 2ln(sinu) from pi/4 to pi/2. Combining together gives him 2I and all said. It takes literally two lines!

It's awesome, the way you demonstrated, step by step. Thumbs up! I really liked the process which is clearly understandable . Thanks you so much. However i've just one question, I would like to know, is there an other trick more easier and faster than that you've just done to get to the solution ?

Amazing, im from chile and i was triying to solve that integral for a while and when i give up, KZread suggest me this video, is like fallen from heaven

Thanks for the explanation above. I like this sort of maths but I can never achieved the mental acrobatic that you can do but I enjoy stressing my brain in following it. However, using my calculator, it cannot even come out with lncos(x) but using lnsin(x) I got a complex number answer as -1.0888 - 4.4409x10^16i.

This is probably the first video where I knew exactly where the method was going. I must have seen a trick like this before. Perhaps in solving certain infinite sums that use the same looping substitution / equality trick.

Great video Michael. If you integrate x/tanx from pi/2 to 0 (using integration by parts) you will use all the properties you've specified here

From the thumbnail I tried doing it in my head by simply integrating the initial term and my answer was negative infinity (obviously), and when I saw the video my jaw literally dropped (again, obviously) Such an elegant method :D

I did it wrong in my head guys

Another way to get rid of ln(z) is to consider the derivative d(z^t)/dt which yield ln(z) at t = 0. Thus it suffices to calculate int_0^{\pi/2} (cos(x))^t dx which results in beta-function after trivial change of variables. After all it will be possible to represent the answer in terms of digamma function. But the simplest way here is to use cos(x) = (e^{ix} + e^{-ix})/2, so ln(cos(x)) = -ln(2) + ix + ln(1 + e^{-2 ix}) = -ln(2) + i x + sum_{n = 1}^\infty (-1)^{n - 1} e^{-2 i n x} / n. As ln(cos(x)) is a real number, we can throw away the imaginary part (because it is zero): ln(cos(x)) = -ln(2) + sum_{n = 1}^\infty (-1)^{n - 1} cos(2 n x)/n As integral from cos(2 n x) within the interval (0, pi/2) yields zero, we get -ln(2) * pi/2.

Yes, I thought exactly the same thing but I think his substitution argument is a lot more rigorous.

Could you also do this integral by differentiating under the integral sign? Set I(a) = integral of ln(cos ax ) and differentiate with respect to a, then perform a u-sub?

It is the exact same question in our NCERT book (class 12). I have done this problem at least 7-8 times during my preparation for the final exam. I already knew what was the answer.😅

Or simply use 2 properties of definite integration But it is good that u showed us each step

Tried using the fact that the definite integral between 0 to pi/2 is same for ln(sin(x)) and ln(cos(x)), then added both leading to the integral being half of the sum of those definite integrals. Then used ln a + ln b = ln ab which yields ln sinx + ln cos x = ln sin 2x - ln 2. This gives the identity I = I/2 - pi/4 ln 2

03:09 We can do this because "∫ ln(sin(_) d_" means the same no matter which letter you put into "_" (the same is also for definite integral from any "a" to any "b", for example for definite integral from 0 to π/2). For example "∫ ln(sin(A) dA" means the same as "∫ ln(sin(α) dα" and "∫ ln(sin(u) du" and "∫ ln(sin(x) dx". So we use this property to change letter (to change the variable) from "u" to any letter we want. And in this case we want this "any letter" be "x" :) So instead of writing "∫ ln(sin(u) du" we could write "∫ ln(sin(x) dx". I hope this is helpful and makes it understable :)

Because he’s saying x = pi/2- x for all x, which isn’t true

Just write cos(x) = (exp(ix)+exp(-ix))/2. It would be much easier to solve.

Wouldn't it be easier if you do u=cos(x) and then do an integration by parts?

In order to prove that ln(cos x) is integrable on the interval we can use the comparison test

can you solve that for any bounds?

If you were to plot the cos(x) and sin(x) (without the log) from 0 to pi/2 one would realize immediately the symmetries.

So, basically the area under this curve evaluates to a negative value? Does it simply mean that the plot of ln(cosx) lies below the x-axis?

Too much time and effort went into proving that Integral of ln(cos x) equals that of ln(sin x). I think that is trivial! First notice that for each x in the interval [0,pi/2] there corresponds a y = (pi/2 -x) such that ln(cos x) = ln(sin y) ,so that the integrands match for every x, y, respectively . If we now consider the integral as a Riemann sum, the result is obvious! Great video, BTW

Sorry for answering after so much time, but the variable you use isn't important. In fact, if F is an antiderivative of ln(sin u), that integral is F(u) evaluated from u=0 to u=pi/2, which is F(pi/2) - F(0), but this is also F(x) evaluated from x=0 to x=pi/2. That's why you can use whatever variable and sometimes apply this substitution, just to deal with the same variable. Hope I was clear enough.

this is a common trick called dummy variable, the thing is that an integral is independent of its variable, below is an example: ∫ 2x dx = ∫ 2y dy they both mean finding an anti-derivative of f(z)=2z similarly, ∫ ln(sin u) du and ∫ ln(sin x) dx are both the anti-derivative of f(z)=ln(sin z), thus they are technically the same.

It was cool to see the solution, but it makes me wonder about how Michael chose his strategy for computing it. What I mean is after the substitutions and change of limits, there's still a natural log of a trig function in the integrand. If I were doing this problem, that would make me think I was on the wrong track *unless* I could see several steps "into the future" and realize that this strategy is really all about figuring out a relation for the integral-- and not explicitly computing it. How does one know that this strategy will work? How do you know that by making these substitutions, you will end up with a useable relation for the integral?

@@qing6045 No you're right, we need to bound it from below. So use, cos x > 1 - 2x/pi. So, ln cos x > ln(1 - 2x/pi), And the integral of the term on the right converges.

No it’s boring

How much clear you are ...

At 12:23 when turning u back into x why didn’t the bounds on the integral change too?

He's just renaming the variable inside the integral, it doesn't matter if it's called u or x or α or n, it's just a name for "the thing that moves inside the integral". You could also see it as a "substitution with u = x" (which doesn't change the bounds, since you're not doing any change to the variable) if that makes it clearer for you.

I do not understand the substitution that you do at 8:50: why can you transform the integral of ln(sin u) in the integral of ln(sin x), in u is not equal to x but to 2x?

Salvatore Di Lorenzo The u's are different variables. If it makes it easier, think of the second u as a w instead, or as u1 and u2.
