This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+ln%7Csin%28x%29%7C I think you might've made a typo.

If you can't see the link, Wolfram Alpha says this evaluates to something nasty that involves imaginaries.

what typo?

Dina Andini Sri Hardina - 7 years, 9 months ago

Well the function you gave doesn't have an elementary antiderivative.

By partial method you mean by the method of partial sums?

Piyal De - 7 years, 9 months ago

i mean partial is integral of u dv=u.v-integral of v du. you can do it?

Dina Andini Sri Hardina - 7 years, 9 months ago

itu integralnya buat cari rumus apa? kecepatan, percepatan atau posisi? atau yang lain?

Integration by parts formula states that $\int u_{}dv = uv-\int v_{}du$

In this case we have $\int \ln\lvert\sin x\rvert dx$

comparing this to the integration by parts formula

$u = \ln\lvert\sin x\rvert\Rightarrow du = \cos x\ln\lvert\sin x\rvert dx$

$dv = dx \Rightarrow v = x$

Now we can apply the integration by parts formula

$\int \ln\lvert\sin x\rvert dx = x\ln\lvert\sin x\rvert-\int x\cos x\ln\lvert\sin x\rvert dx$

now we have an integral $\int x\cos x\ln\lvert \sin x\rvert dx$ . though this may look more complex, it is actually more simple. we can apply integration by parts again. The requirement for integration by parts is that one variable must be easy to differentiate, in this case it is $x$ , and one variable must be easy to integrate, in this case $\cos x\ln\lvert\sin x\rvert dx$ . We know this is easy to integrate as we can see there is a $\cos x$ and a $\sin x$ , so we can use a simple u-substitution. To make things simple, i shall removed the modulus sigh, but u can factor it back in and u will get 2 answers for the integral

Applying integration by parts:

$u = x\Rightarrow du = dx$

$dv = \cos x\ln(sin x) dx \Rightarrow v = \sin x\ln(\sin x)-\sin x$ <-- u-substitution

$\int x\cos x\ln( \sin x) dx = x(\sin x\ln(\sin x) - \sin x)- \int (\sin x\ln(\sin x)-\sin x)dx$

this last integral $\int (\sin x\ln(\sin x)-\sin x)dx$ is essentially $\int\sin x\ln(\sin x)dx - \int \sin x dx$

$\int\sin x\ln(\sin x) dx$ can be found by integration by parts. after finding that, sub everything back into the orginal equation for your final answer
