Evaluate the given integral
|
•
|
Control-drag the integral and press the Enter key.
|
•
|
Select the first two terms in the antiderivative and choose "normal" in the smart pop-up.
|
|
|
|
|
Using the appropriate identity in Table 2.10.4, the alternate form of the solution, namely,
can be obtained from the Maple solution.
A stepwise solution that uses top-level commands except for one application of the Change command from the IntegrationTools package:

|
Install the IntegrationTools package.

|
Let be the name of the given integral.
|
|
|
Change variables as per Table 6.3.1
|
•
|
Use the Change command to apply the change of variables .
|
|
|
•
|
Simplify the radical to . Note the restriction imposed on .
(Maple believes that the sine and cosine functions are "simpler" than secants and cosecants.)
|

|
•
|
Use the value command to evaluate the integral, or follow the approach in Table 6.3.16(b), below.
|
•
|
To revert the change of variables, apply the substitution via
Context Panel: Evaluate at a Point≻

From Figure 6.3.2, , and .
The stepwise solution provided by the
tutor when the Constant, Constant Multiple, and Sum rules are taken as Understood Rules begins with the substitution and proceeds as shown in Table 6.3.16(a).

Note that the solution in Table 6.3.16(a) is not complete - the antiderivatives have not been obtained and the Revert rule has not been applied. Indeed, the final result, a result in dire need of a simplification that cannot be effected in the tutor, is
Table 6.3.16(b) shows the result when the Change rule is imposed on the tutor.

The substitution leads to a rational function in , an expression that is resolved by the algebraic technique of the partial fraction decomposition, to be studied in detail in Section 6.4.
