6 + sin ( x ) = ? 6 + \sin(x) = ?

Calculus Level 5

If

0 sin x 7 d x = sin ( π a ) Γ ( b 7 ) \displaystyle\int_{0}^{\infty} \sin x^7\ dx = \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{a}\right)\Gamma\left({\frac{b}{7}}\right)

Find a + b \boxed{a+b}

Try my set


The answer is 22.

Use this :

0 sin ( x n ) d x = sin ( π 2 n ) Γ ( n + 1 n ) \displaystyle \int\limits_0^{\infty} \sin(x^n)dx = \sin(\frac{\pi}{2n})\Gamma(\frac{n+1}{n})

And you will get 22 \boxed{22} .

Which is the same as (sin(pi/2n)*Gamma(1/n))/n

Well, again overrated!

Just use the fact that s i n ( x 7 ) = e i x 7 e i x 7 2 i sin({x}^{7}) = \frac{{e}^{i{x}^{7}} - {e}^{-i{x}^{7}}}{2i}

and then just some bashing you are done with the answer.

So u actually solved it ? Try guessing your way out too sometimes :P

No no . Actually today in the morning (6:37 am) to be precise , I got an email from Pranjal . So while talking , I told him that today was my free day and I told him I would be solving his set "My CS Problems" but I just wandered off and started with Calculus first .

So I was solving questions for abt an hour or so and now I am entering the answers . 12 more to go ! Hmpf!
