Let I = 0 sin 2 x sin 1 ( t ) d t + 0 cos 2 x cos 1 ( t ) d t = I 1 + I 2 \begin{aligned} I & = \color{#3D99F6}{\int_0^{\sin^2 x} \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt t \right) dt} + \color{#D61F06}{\int_0^{\cos^2 x} \cos^{-1} \left( \sqrt t \right) dt} = \color{#3D99F6}{I_1} + \color{#D61F06}{I_2} \end{aligned}

Now consider I 1 I_1 :

I 1 = 0 sin 2 x sin 1 ( t ) d t Let u 2 = t 2 u d u = d t = 0 sin x 2 u sin 1 ( u ) d u By integration by parts. = 2 u ( u sin 1 ( u ) + 1 u 2 ) 0 sin x 0 sin x ( 2 u sin 1 ( u ) + 2 1 u 2 ) d u = 2 x sin 2 x + 2 sin x cos x I 1 2 0 sin x 1 u 2 d u Let u = sin θ d u = cos θ d θ 2 I 1 = 2 x sin 2 x + sin 2 x 2 0 x cos 2 θ d θ = 2 x sin 2 x + sin 2 x 0 x ( 1 + cos 2 θ ) d θ = 2 x sin 2 x + sin 2 x x 1 2 sin 2 x I 1 = x sin 2 x + 1 4 sin 2 x x 2 \begin{aligned} I_1 & = \int_0^{\sin^2 x} \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt t \right) dt \quad \quad \small \color{#3D99F6}{\text{Let }u^2 = t \implies 2u \ du = dt} \\ & = \int_0^{\sin x} 2u \sin^{-1} (u) \ du \quad \quad \small \color{#3D99F6}{\text{By integration by parts.}} \\ & = 2u \left(u \sin^{-1}(u) + \sqrt{1-u^2} \right) \bigg|_0^{\sin x} - \int_0^{\sin x} \left(2u \sin^{-1}(u) + 2\sqrt{1-u^2} \right) du \\ & = 2x \sin^2 x + 2\sin x \cos x - I_1 - 2 \int_0^{\sin x} \sqrt{1-u^2} \ du \quad \quad \small \color{#3D99F6}{\text{Let }u = \sin \theta \implies du = \cos \theta \ d \theta} \\ \implies 2I_1 & = 2x \sin^2 x + \sin 2 x - 2 \int_0^x \cos^2 \theta \ d \theta \\ & = 2x \sin^2 x + \sin 2 x - \int_0^x \left(1 + \cos 2\theta \right) d \theta \\ & = 2x \sin^2 x + \sin 2 x - x - \frac 12 \sin 2x \\ \implies I_1 & = x \sin^2 x + \frac 14 \sin 2 x - \frac x2 \end{aligned}

Similarly for I 2 I_2 :

I 2 = 0 cos 2 x cos 1 ( t ) d t = 0 cos x 2 u cos 1 ( u ) d u = 2 u ( u cos 1 ( u ) 1 u 2 ) 0 cos x 0 cos x ( 2 u cos 1 ( u ) 2 1 u 2 ) d u = 2 x cos 2 x 2 cos x sin x I 2 + 2 0 cos x 1 u 2 d u 2 I 2 = 2 x cos 2 x sin 2 x + 2 0 π 2 x cos 2 θ d θ = 2 x cos 2 x sin 2 x + 0 π 2 x ( 1 + cos 2 θ ) d θ = 2 x cos 2 x sin 2 x + π 2 x + 1 2 sin 2 x I 2 = x cos 2 x 1 4 sin 2 x + π 4 x 2 \begin{aligned} I_2 & = \int_0^{\cos^2 x} \cos^{-1} \left(\sqrt t \right) dt \\ & = \int_0^{\cos x} 2u \cos^{-1} (u) \ du \\ & = 2u \left(u \cos^{-1}(u) - \sqrt{1-u^2} \right) \bigg|_0^{\cos x} - \int_0^{\cos x} \left(2u \cos^{-1}(u) - 2\sqrt{1-u^2} \right) du \\ & = 2x \cos^2 x - 2\cos x \sin x - I_2 + 2 \int_0^{\cos x} \sqrt{1-u^2} \ du \\ \implies 2I_2 & = 2x \cos^2 x - \sin 2x + 2 \int_0^{\frac \pi 2 -x} \cos^2 \theta \ d \theta \\ & = 2x \cos^2 x - \sin 2 x + \int_0^{\frac \pi 2 -x} \left(1 + \cos 2\theta \right) d \theta \\ & = 2x \cos^2 x - \sin 2 x + \frac \pi 2 - x + \frac 12 \sin 2x \\ \implies I_2 & = x \cos^2 x - \frac 14 \sin 2 x + \frac \pi 4 - \frac x2 \end{aligned}

Therefore, finally we have:

I = I 1 + I 2 = x sin 2 x + 1 4 sin 2 x x 2 + x cos 2 x 1 4 sin 2 x + π 4 x 2 = π 4 \begin{aligned} \implies I & = I_1+I_2 \\ & = x \sin^2 x + \frac 14 \sin 2 x - \frac x2 + x \cos^2 x - \frac 14 \sin 2 x + \frac \pi 4 - \frac x2 \\ & = \frac \pi 4 \end{aligned}

c = 4 \implies c = \boxed{4}

Its a nice problem.

Differentiate function on left hand side wrt x using Newton Leibnitz theorem to get the derivative of the function zero.

which implies that the given function is constant function

so put x = pi/4 and evaluate

as simple as that :)

I appreciate your way bro! for answering fast :)

Aniket Sanghi - 4 years, 11 months ago

I did it the same way it's correct :)))

Krishna Shankar - 4 years, 11 months ago

Why you differentiated LHS ... Its evident that if it comes out to be π / c \pi/c for an integer c c then it is constant for all x. Isn't it and as a result holds for all x !

Just to confirm . if it was a subjective problem then?

Prakhar Bindal - 4 years, 11 months ago

Yep then problem promises a better method . Obviously it is evident , its independent of any x you chose maybe its 0,1,2 or smartly pi/4.

Rishabh Jain - 4 years, 11 months ago

Although I did it the same way.. :-)

Rishabh Jain - 4 years, 11 months ago

Such type of problems are mainly Lebnitz one you can also solve it by your method

Applying Leibniz on LHS is equivalent to differentiating a constant(RHS)...

However rather than putting x the problem promises a better method.. Let's see if anyone comes with it. :-)

@Rishabh Jain Yhea yhea :)

Krishna Shankar - 4 years, 11 months ago

I Think you understood it wrongly . I Said consider the function of left side to be f(x) and differentiate to show that this function is a constant function (as its derivative is zero) . i did not differentiate both sides of the question!!.

Prakhar Bindal - 4 years, 11 months ago

No what I said is since LHS =RHS (obviously) ,differentiating RHS w.r.t x is as good as differentiating LHS w.r.t x.

Since you said LHS is f(x), so is RHS since they equate. Hence f ( x = π / c f(x=\pi/c whose derivative is obviously zero! Isn't it?

Rishabh Jain - 4 years, 11 months ago

@Rishabh Jain No if i would have given you to find for general x the value of LHS Then what will you do?

Prakhar Bindal - 4 years, 11 months ago

Log in to reply

@Prakhar Bindal LHS is constant for all x ............. !! Its value is pi/4 ... That's what question is all about .. f ( x ) = π 4 x R f(x)=\dfrac{\pi}4\forall x\in\mathbb R

Rishabh Jain - 4 years, 11 months ago

Log in to reply

@Rishabh Jain Yeah thats the point thats why i differentiated the LHS to show that function in constant for all x .

If in a test you were asked some crazy value of x like pi/29 or so then we would have to differentiate in order to confirm that the function is constant for all x

@Prakhar Bindal Duh... I was just talking about this particular question only.

Anyways let's end this now. I rest my case... :-p

Use c o s 1 x = π / 2 s i n 1 x {cos}^{-1}x = \pi/2 - {sin}^{-1}x and the expression simplifies to

( π / 2 ) ( c o s x ) 2 + (\pi/2) (cosx)^2 + integration of s i n ( t ) sin (\sqrt{t} ) from ( c o s x ) 2 (cosx)^2 to ( s i n x ) 2 (sinx)^2

Then you can easily integrate the expression 1st by substituting t = u \sqrt{t} = u followed by taking s i n 1 u = p {sin}^{-1}u = p :)

I = 0 sin 2 x sin 1 ( t ) d t + 0 cos 2 x cos 1 ( t ) d t I = \int_0^{\sin^2 x} \sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt t \right) dt + \int_0^{\cos^2 x} \cos^{-1} \left( \sqrt t \right) dt

Let u = sin 1 ( t ) u=\sin^{-1} \left(\sqrt t \right) for the first integral and u = cos 1 ( t ) u = \cos^{-1} \left(\sqrt t \right) for the second integral.

d t = sin 2 u d u dt = \sin{2u} du and d t = sin 2 u d u dt = -\sin{2u} du respectively.

I = 0 x u sin 2 u d u π 2 x u sin 2 u d u I = \int_0^x u\sin{2u} du - \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^x u\sin2u du = 0 π 2 u sin 2 u d u =\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} u\sin{2u} du

Using Integration by Parts we get

[ 1 2 u cos 2 u ] 0 π 2 + 0 π 2 cos 2 u d u \Big [-\frac12 u\cos{2u} \Big]_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} + \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \cos{2u} du = π 4 + [ 1 2 sin 2 u ] 0 π 2 =\frac{\pi}{4} + \Big [ \frac12 \sin{2u} \Big]_0^\frac{\pi}{2} = π 4 =\boxed{\dfrac{\pi}{4}}

The question is JEE style and so is the method I provide. Since the answer is independent of x, I choose x=pi/4.Using the property, arc (sin y) +arc (cos y)=pi/2, for any suitable y in the domain,the answer is simply (1/2) times pi/2=pi/4.

I also think there should be an easy way to solve this but I could not find it and come up with the solution here.

Since c is a constant, the integral must not depend on the value of x x .

Let x = π 4 x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}

I = 0 1 2 sin 1 ( t ) + cos 1 ( t ) d t I=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{t})+\cos^{-1}(\sqrt{t}) \cdot{d}t

( sin 1 ( t ) + cos 1 ( t ) = π 2 ) \left(\sin^{-1}(\sqrt{t})+\cos^{-1}(\sqrt{t})=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)

I = 0 1 2 π 2 d t I=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} \dfrac{\pi}{2}\cdot{d}t

= π 4 =\boxed{\dfrac{\pi}{4}}
