Integral of so many things! (great for calculus 2 review)

  • I will just call this "THE CALC2 REVIEW" since this involves sooooo many skills from calc 2. I integrate a power series, did integration by parts (with the DI method, of course), used the L'Hoptial's Rule, Partial fractions, saw a telescoping series, and ended up with some pi^2/6.
    this explains "build up the power" part: • This is how we partial...
    integral of ln(x)/(x-1), also uses series, • integral of ln(x)/(x-1... ,
    sum of the reciprocals of squares,
    by Max. Z: • Proof by intuition don... ,
    by Dr. Peyam: • Video ,
    And here's the Fubini's Theorem, en.wikipedia.o... . In fact I made a mistaking quoting it to switch the integration and the summation. We can switch the integration and the summation because of the power series is uniformly convergent. Thus, the integral of the sum is the sum of the integrals, even with infinitely many terms.
    ENJOY THIS RIDE!

    trying to solve it by symmetry with a u-sub of u=1-x lets you conclude that the integral is exactly equal to itself. Amazing.

  • @anon8109
    @anon8109 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    We can roughly approximate the function y = ln(x)*ln(1-x) by a semicircle.
    The graph of the function looks like the top half of a circle with center 1/2 and radius 1/2 with an area of 1/2 * pi * (1/2)^2 = pi/8
    In fact, if we multiply the semicircle by the constant C = (48-4*pi^2)/(3*pi) which is approximately 0.9, then this integral would have the same area as the semicircle.

      BTW, i solved it in a different way as usual :)
      I'm not really going to write each and every step tho!
      Anyway, i used integration by parts on the main integral. After 3 (fun) limits and another integration by parts and one u-sub i came up with:
      INT [ln(x)*ln(1-x)] = 2- INT [ln(1-x)/x] (all INT from 0 to 1 of course)
      Finally it was quite straightforward to solve the last INT with the power serie.
      A very challenging problem indeed!

  • @erazorheader
    @erazorheader 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think I have found the easier way. First, notice that Ln(x) Ln(1 - x) = -0.5*((Ln(x) - Ln(1-x))^2 - Ln(x)^2 - Ln(1-x)^2). Integrals from the logs squared are trivial and one can take it by integration by parts e.g. \int_0^1 Ln(x)^2 dx = - \int_0^1 (x 2 Ln(x) /x ) dx = - 2 \int_0^1 Ln(x) dx = 2. Same answer is for the integral from Ln(1-x)^2. Somewhat tricky part is the integral from -0.5*(Ln(x) - Ln(1-x))^2 = -0.5*(Ln(x/(1-x)))^2 = -0.5 d^2(x^t (1 - x)^(-t))/dt^2 at t = 0. In the last line I used that Ln(x) = d(x^t)/dt taken at t = 0. As we have the second power of the log, we need the second derivative. But the integral \int_0^1 x^t (1 - x)^(-t) dx = pi*t/sin(pi*t) where I used the definition of the beta-function. In order to take the second derivative, notice that sin(z)/z = 1 - z^2/6 + ... i.e. z/sin(z) = 1 + z^2/6 +... As we only need the second derivative at zero argument, it is enough. So, we get \int_0^1 -0.5*(Ln(x) - Ln(1-x))^2 dx = -0.5* d^2(\int_0^1 x^t (1-x)^(-t) dx)/dt^2|(t=0) = -0.5 d^2(pi*t/sin(pi*t))/dt^2|(t = 0) = -0.5*pi^2/3 = -pi^2/6.

    @justdusty9697 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    similar method but faster in my opinion: turn ln(1-x) into a series to get sum of 1/n the integral of x^nln(x)
    now name that integral I_n or something you can find a recurrence relation between I_n+1 and I_n
    (obviously since I_n keeps a constant sign it is not identically zero) by that you can deduce that I_n = -1/(n+1)^2
    going back to the initial result we get sum of 1/n*(n+1)^2
    then finally by decomposing we end up getting our result 2- pi^2 /6

  • @zsomborhajdu2181
    @zsomborhajdu2181 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    This integral is the convolution of ln(x) and ln(x) at 1. Thus, we can use Laplace-transform to calculate the integral, as the inverse Laplace-transform of the square of ln(x)'s Laplace-transform. I think this method is much easier.

    You lost me at 18:01 with the "cover-up" method... By imposing n=-1 you are making the fraction tend to infinity, how would that help us find A? Plus, when I try to determine A,B and C with the "usual" method (writing the common denominator of the three partial fractions and comparing to the original fraction to determine A,B,C) I find a system of 4 equations in 3 unknowns, which turns out to have no solutions. What am I missing??

  • @fourier07able
    @fourier07able 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    At the final board where bprp finds the solution, he makes a mistake after he has calculated ∑_{n=0^ꝏ} [1/(n+1) - 1/(n+2)] = 1/1 - 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 + 1/3 -1/4 + 1/4 - ... = 1, since all terms cancel by pairs with the exception of the first one, i.e. 1. So far is all okay, but now, below, he puts again the term [-1/(n+2)], which already was considered in the above sum. Fortunately this term does not lead to error as it tends to zero as n tends to infinite. BTW, the sum 1/1^2 + 1/2^2 + 1/3^2 + 1/4^2 + ... = ∑_{n=1^ꝏ} 1/n^2 = ζ(2) is the famous Riemann Zeta function ζ(s) for s = 2. The great mathematician Leonhard Euler was the first out in calculate ζ(2) = π^2/6.

    If you do the integration by parts the other way around then you can avoid separating the partial fractions (but you do have to integrate ln(x)). Also, I think that proving ζ(2)=pi^2/6 is more difficult than all of the work that precedes it.

    Where do you find such integrals? This was fun!

  • @mathisnotforthefaintofheart
    @mathisnotforthefaintofheart 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't think this problem falls within the Calculus 2 scope though. But it has a lot of Calculus 2 elements in it, that's for sure. I remember I did problems like "replacing integrals by series vice-versa" in a introductory real analysis class....

    The 1st thing, if it strikes in your mind then question is simple and if it doesn't then it is really hard to solve it.

  • @MarcosRodriguez-qx4wr
    @MarcosRodriguez-qx4wr 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, I got a bit lost when you calculated the numerators of the series. I guess in engineering we don't learn how to solve series properly. May you recommend any book or source that I could use to gain insight into series' calculus.
    So great video anyway.

      the power series converges uniformly on the domain of integration.

      Omg Yes. I am sorry that I said the wrong theorem in the video. Fubini Thm is to switch the order in double integrals...

    • @copperfield42
      @copperfield42 6 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      let "int" stand for integral, and "sum" for summation, then:
      int(sum(X))
      = int(x1+x2+x3+...xn)
      =int(x1)+int(x2)+...+int(xn)
      =sum(int(X))
      therefore: int(sum(X)) = sum(int(X))

    • @AndDiracisHisProphet
      @AndDiracisHisProphet 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! I thought the same, that there is something wrong. But I figured, the swapping was fine, so I shrugged it off. Didn't think about that you used the wrong name for it.
      Funny thing is, when you rewatch the part, where you say Fubini, one can see how you are hesitating as if you were uncomfortable with it yourself :D
      P.S.: This was serious^^

    • @stephenbeck7222
      @stephenbeck7222 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +David Franco (copperfield) this is the basic idea but I think you have to be a little more rigorous with an infinite sum. Are they interchangeable in all cases or are there restrictions?

      Are you sure that it converges?

    • @materiasacra
      @materiasacra 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @turbo potato: yes it converges. The factor ln(1-x) has a simple root at x=0, which cancels the pole of 1/x, leaving the integrable singularity of ln(x).

    • @materiasacra
      @materiasacra 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      We can exploit the labor of our slave: bprp :-)
      Compared to the video you have an extra 1/x. Everything up to 8:04 goes through the same. Instead of x^(n+1) we have x^n. Then bprp dives into the evaluation of the x-integral of x^(n+1)ln(x). This goes through with n+1 replaced by n, but we have to pay attention at the limit for x=0 discussed at 11:40. It's fine because he has an extra factor of x to spare before the limit becomes problematic. The result bprp shows at 16:38 is in our case modified to +sum_{n=0}^infinity 1/(n+1)^3. Now that's simpler than the video! We re-index the sum to sum_{n=1}^infinity 1/n^3, and directly recognize zeta(3), where zeta is the Riemann zeta function. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particular_values_of_the_Riemann_zeta_function#Odd_positive_integers
      This is the result, so we shout "Done!".

  • @alannrosas2543
    @alannrosas2543 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    How is the interchange of limiting operations at 7:06 justified? I’m pretty sure term-by-term integration is only valid for power series, and the integrand in the integral preceding 7:06 does not appear to be a power series. Am I overlooking something?
