Question: Evaluate the integral $$\int \frac{\sqrt{9 x^{2}-25}}{x^{3}} d x.$$ Answer: $$\int \frac{\sqrt{9 x^{2}-25}}{x^{3}} d x = 9\left(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x} - \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x}\right)^3\right) + C$$

Step by step solution

01

Identify the trigonometric substitution

To simplify the expression under the square root, we should find a trigonometric substitution such that the denominator becomes equal to a constant. In this case, the substitution to use is: $$x = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \cosh{\theta} \quad \text{with} \quad x>\frac{5}{3}$$ which fulfills the desired condition.
02

Calculate the differential dx

Now, we need to find the expression for the differential dx in terms of dθ. This can be found by differentiating x w.r.t θ: $$\frac{dx}{d\theta} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta}.$$ So, $$dx = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta} d\theta.$$
03

Perform the substitution

Using the substitution and its differential, we can rewrite the integral as: $$ \int \frac{\sqrt{9 (\frac{5}{\sqrt3}\cosh{\theta})^2 - 25}}{(\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \cosh{\theta})^3} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta} d\theta = \int \frac{\sqrt{9 \cdot \frac{25}{3} \cosh^2{\theta} - 25}}{ \frac{125}{9} \cosh^3{\theta}} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta} d\theta. $$
04

Simplify the integrand

Now we can simplify the integral: $$ \int \frac{\sqrt{9 \cdot \frac{25}{3} \cosh^{2}{\theta} - 25}}{ \frac{125}{9} \cosh^{3}{\theta}} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta} d\theta = \int \frac{\frac{15}{\sqrt3 }\sqrt{\cosh^{2}{\theta} - 1}}{\frac{125}{9} \cosh^{3}{\theta}} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta} d\theta. $$ We can simplify further by using the identity: $$\sinh^2{\theta} = \cosh^2{\theta} - 1$$ So, the integral becomes: $$ \int \frac{\frac{15}{\sqrt3} \cdot \sinh{\theta}}{ \frac{125}{9} \cosh^{3}{\theta}} \cdot \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \sinh{\theta} d\theta = 9\int \frac{\sinh^2{\theta}}{\cosh^{3}{\theta}} d\theta. $$
05

Perform the integration

Now we can integrate with respect to θ: $$ 9\int \frac{\sinh^2{\theta}}{\cosh^{3}{\theta}} d\theta = 9\int \frac{(\cosh^2{\theta} - 1)}{\cosh^{3}{\theta}} d\theta = 9\int (\frac{1}{\cosh{\theta}} - \frac{1}{\cosh^3{\theta}}) d\theta. $$ Using the properties of hyperbolic functions, we find the antiderivative: $$ 9\int (\frac{1}{\cosh{\theta}} - \frac{1}{\cosh^3{\theta}}) d\theta = 9(\tanh{\theta} - \frac{1}{2}\tanh^3{\theta}) + C. $$
06

Reverse the substitution

Now, we need to express our result in terms of x. Recall the original substitution: $$x = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \cosh{\theta} \quad \implies \quad \tanh{\theta} = \frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x}.$$ Thus, our final answer is: $$ 9(\tanh{\theta} - \frac{1}{2}\tanh^3{\theta}) + C = 9\left(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x} - \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x}\right)^3\right) + C $$ So, the evaluated integral is: $$ \int \frac{\sqrt{9 x^{2}-25}}{x^{3}} d x = 9\left(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x} - \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 25}}{5x}\right)^3\right) + C $$

The cycloid is the curve traced by a point on the rim of a rolling wheel. Imagine a wire shaped like an inverted cycloid (see figure). A bead sliding down this wire without friction has some remarkable properties. Among all wire shapes, the cycloid is the shape that produces the fastest descent time. It can be shown that the descent time between any two points \(0 \leq a \leq b \leq \pi\) on the curve is $$\text { descent time }=\int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{\frac{1-\cos t}{g(\cos a-\cos t)}} d t$$ where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity, \(t=0\) corresponds to the top of the wire, and \(t=\pi\) corresponds to the lowest point on the wire. a. Find the descent time on the interval \([a, b]\) by making the substitution \(u=\cos t\) b. Show that when \(b=\pi\), the descent time is the same for all values of \(a ;\) that is, the descent time to the bottom of the wire is the same for all starting points.
