Question: Evaluate the integral \(\int \frac{d\theta}{1-\csc{\theta}}\). Answer: \(\int \frac{d \theta}{1-\csc \theta} = \ln\left|\sin{\theta}-1 + \sqrt{-(\sin{\theta}-1)^2(\sin{\theta}+1)}\right| + C\)

Step by step solution

01

Recall the definition of cosecant function

The cosecant function, denoted by \(\csc{\theta}\), is defined as the reciprocal of the sine function, i.e. \(\csc{\theta} = \frac{1}{\sin{\theta}}\). We can use this definition to rewrite our integral as follows: $$\int \frac{d\theta}{1-\frac{1}{\sin{\theta}}}$$
02

Simplify the expression inside the integral

Apply common denominator to the expression inside the integral to get the following: $$\int \frac{d\theta}{\frac{\sin{\theta} - 1}{\sin{\theta}}}$$ Now, invert and multiply the expression inside the integral: $$\int \frac{\sin{\theta}}{\sin{\theta}-1} d\theta$$
03

Substitute \(u = \sin{\theta} - 1\)

Let \(u = \sin{\theta} - 1\). Then, \(\frac{du}{d\theta} = \cos{\theta}\) and \(d\theta = \frac{du}{\cos{\theta}}\). Since \(u = \sin{\theta} - 1\), we have \(\sin{\theta} = u+1\): $$\int \frac{u+1}{u} \frac{du}{\cos{\theta}}$$
04

Rewrite \(\cos{\theta}\) using \(u\)

Now, \(\sin^2{\theta} + \cos^2{\theta} = 1\). Since \(\sin{\theta} = u+1\), we have \(\cos^2{\theta} = 1 - (u+1)^2 = 1 - (u^2 + 2u + 1) = -u^2 - 2u\). Hence, \(\cos{\theta} = \pm\sqrt{-u(u+2)}\). Now the integral becomes: $$\int \frac{u+1}{u} \frac{du}{\pm\sqrt{-u(u+2)}}$$
05

Simplify and evaluate the integral

Simplifying the above integral: $$\int \frac{du}{\pm\sqrt{-u^2(u+2)}}$$ Join the \(\pm\) sign in the constant \(C\). $$\int \frac{du}{\sqrt{-u^2(u+2)}}$$ We can recognize it as an integral of the form \(\int \frac{du}{\sqrt{u^2-a^2}}\). The standard formula for this type of integral is given by: $$\int \frac{du}{\sqrt{u^2-a^2}} = \ln\left|u+\sqrt{u^2-a^2}\right| + C$$ Using this formula, we get: $$\int \frac{du}{\sqrt{-u^2(u+2)}} = \ln\left|u + \sqrt{-u^2(u+2)}\right| + C$$
06

Substitute back \(\sin{\theta}\) and simplify

Now, substitute back \(u = \sin{\theta}-1\): $$\int \frac{d\theta}{1-\csc \theta} = \ln\left|\sin{\theta}-1 + \sqrt{-(\sin{\theta}-1)^2(\sin{\theta}+1)}\right| + C$$ Thus, we have evaluated the integral: $$\int \frac{d \theta}{1-\csc \theta} = \ln\left|\sin{\theta}-1 + \sqrt{-(\sin{\theta}-1)^2(\sin{\theta}+1)}\right| + C$$

\(A\) powerful tool in solving problems in engineering and physics is the Laplace transform. Given a function \(f(t)\) the Laplace transform is a new function \(F(s)\) defined by $$F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} f(t) d t$$ where we assume that \(s\) is a positive real number. For example, to find the Laplace transform of \(f(t)=e^{-t},\) the following improper integral is evaluated: $$F(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-s t} e^{-t} d t=\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-(s+1) t} d t=\frac{1}{s+1}$$ Verify the following Laplace transforms, where a is a real number. $$f(t)=\cos a t \longrightarrow F(s)=\frac{s}{s^{2}+a^{2}}$$

Let \(a>0\) and let \(R\) be the region bounded by the graph of \(y=e^{-a x}\) and the \(x\) -axis on the interval \([b, \infty)\) a. Find \(A(a, b),\) the area of \(R\) as a function of \(a\) and \(b\) b. Find the relationship \(b=g(a)\) such that \(A(a, b)=2\) c. What is the minimum value of \(b\) (call it \(b^{*}\) ) such that when \(b>b^{*}, A(a, b)=2\) for some value of \(a>0 ?\)

Evaluate the following integrals or state that they diverge. $$\int_{-2}^{6} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{|x-2|}}$$

Let \(a>0\) and \(b\) be real numbers. Use integration to confirm the following identities. (See Exercise 68 of Section 7.2) a. \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-a x} \cos b x d x=\frac{a}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\) b. \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-a x} \sin b x d x=\frac{b}{a^{2}+b^{2}}\)

An open cylindrical tank initially filled with water drains through a hole in the bottom of the tank according to Torricelli's Law (see figure). If \(h(t)\) is the depth of water in the tank for \(t \geq 0,\) then Torricelli's Law implies \(h^{\prime}(t)=2 k \sqrt{h}\), where \(k\) is a constant that includes the acceleration due to gravity, the radius of the tank, and the radius of the drain. Assume that the initial depth of the water is \(h(0)=H\). a. Find the general solution of the equation. b. Find the solution in the case that \(k=0.1\) and \(H=0.5 \mathrm{m}\). c. In general, how long does it take the tank to drain in terms of \(k\) and \(H ?\)
