Not my calculus problem #3

Calculus Level 3

0 π / 4 tan 2 x tan x x 3 d x = a ( b 2 π ) b / a b c / a \int_0^{\pi/4} \frac {\tan^2 x}{\sqrt[3]{\tan x - x}} \ dx = \frac {a(b^2-\pi)^{b/a}}{b^{c/a}}

Positive prime numbes a a , b b , and c c satisfy the equation above. Find a + b + c a+b+c .

I = 0 π / 4 tan 2 x tan x x 3 d x Let u = tan x x = 0 1 π / 4 d u u 1 / 3 d u = ( sec 2 x 1 ) d x = t a n 2 x d x = 3 u 2 / 3 2 0 1 π / 4 = 3 ( 4 π ) 2 / 3 2 4 2 / 3 \begin{aligned} I & = \int_0^{\pi/4} \frac {\tan^2 x}{\sqrt[3]{\tan x - x}}\ dx & \small \blue{\text{Let }u = \tan x - x} \\ & = \int_0^{1-\pi/4} \frac {du}{u^{1/3}} & \small \blue{\implies du = (\sec^2 x -1) dx = tan^2 x \ dx} \\ & = \frac {3u^{2/3}}2 \ \bigg|_0^{1-\pi/4} \\ & = \frac {3(4-\pi)^{2/3}}{2\cdot 4^{2/3}} \end{aligned}

Therefore a + b + c = 3 + 2 + 7 = 12 a+b+c = 3+2+7 = \boxed{12} .

Hello @Chew-Seong Cheong I am sorry to bother you but a member posted a report of my problem . This report is an exhaustive solution showing that my solution is incorrect but after some study I found my solution to be correct and the report to be wrong. I know you don't have a lot a of time but if you could check my solution I would be relieved and very happy. Thank you very much.

Give me the answer so that I can check it without solving the problem. And your problems are typically complex.
