0 x 2 e 3 x tan 1 ( e x 1 e 2 x ) d x \int_{0}^{\infty}x^{2}e^{-3x}\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{e^{-x}}{\sqrt{1-e^{-2x}}}\right)dx

The integral above has a closed form as below:

π A B A + π C D C E ln C ( C ) + B A ln ( C ) \dfrac{\pi}{A}-\dfrac{B}{A}+\dfrac{\pi^{C}}{D}-\dfrac{C}{E}\ln^{C}(C)+\dfrac{B}{A}\ln(C)

where A A , B B , C C , D D , and E E are positive integers with all fractions irreducible and C C a prime. Evaluate A + B + C + D + E A+B+C+D+E .


The answer is 106.

The substitution sin u = e x \sin u = e^{-x} converts the integral as follows: I = 0 x 2 e 3 x tan 1 ( e x 1 e 2 x ) d x = 0 1 2 π u sin 2 u cos u ln ( sin u ) 2 d u = F ( 2 ) I \; = \; \int_0^\infty x^2 e^{-3x} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{e^{-x}}{\sqrt{1-e^{-2x}}}\right)\,dx \; = \; \int_0^{\frac12\pi} u \,\sin^2u \,\cos u \,\ln(\sin u)^2\,du \; =\; F''(2) where F ( a ) = 0 1 2 π u sin a u cos u d u = π 2 ( a + 1 ) 1 a + 1 0 1 2 π sin a + 1 u d u = π B ( 1 + 1 2 a , 1 2 ) 2 ( a + 1 ) F(a) \; = \; \int_0^{\frac12\pi} u \sin^a u \cos u\,du \; = \;\frac{\pi}{2(a+1)} - \frac{1}{a+1}\int_0^{\frac12\pi} \sin^{a+1}u\,du \; = \; \frac{\pi - B\big(1 + \tfrac12a,\tfrac12\big)}{2(a+1)} After some differentiation and simplification using polygamma functions, we obtain I = 1 27 π 14 27 + 1 54 π 2 2 9 ln 2 2 + 14 27 ln 2 I \; = \; \tfrac{1}{27}\pi - \tfrac{14}{27} + \tfrac{1}{54}\pi^2 - \tfrac29\ln^22 +\tfrac{14}{27}\ln2 making the answer 27 + 14 + 2 + 54 + 9 = 106 27 + 14 + 2 + 54 + 9 = \boxed{106} .

The Answer is: π 27 14 27 + π 2 54 2 9 ln 2 ( 2 ) + 14 27 ln ( 2 ) \dfrac{\pi}{27}-\dfrac{14}{27}+\dfrac{\pi^{2}}{54}-\dfrac{2}{9}\ln^{2}(2)+\dfrac{14}{27}\ln(2) Hints:-
- Substitute e x e^{x} as t t
- Express the Changed Integral as the Differential of another integral(easy to solve)
- Plug the required values( requires use of digamma and trigamma functions )
- Simplify



  • Express the Changed Integral as the Differential of another integral(easy to solve)
