1. Apply the quotient rule to differentiate the function.

Let u=1−sin⁡xu = 1 - \sin x and v=cos⁡xv = \cos x.
Then dudx=−cos⁡x\frac{du}{dx} = -\cos x and dvdx=−sin⁡x\frac{dv}{dx} = -\sin x.

Using the quotient rule dydx=vdudx−udvdxv2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}:
dydx=cos⁡x(−cos⁡x)−(1−sin⁡x)(−sin⁡x)cos⁡2x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos x (-\cos x) - (1 - \sin x)(-\sin x)}{\cos^2 x}

2. Expand and simplify the numerator using the Pythagorean identity.

dydx=−cos⁡2x+sin⁡x−sin⁡2xcos⁡2x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-\cos^2 x + \sin x - \sin^2 x}{\cos^2 x}
=sin⁡x−(sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x)cos⁡2x= \frac{\sin x - (\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x)}{\cos^2 x}
Since sin⁡2x+cos⁡2x=1\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1:
=sin⁡x−1cos⁡2x= \frac{\sin x - 1}{\cos^2 x}

3. Split the fraction and convert to secant and tangent to reach the required form.

dydx=sin⁡xcos⁡2x−1cos⁡2x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sin x}{\cos^2 x} - \frac{1}{\cos^2 x}
=(sin⁡xcos⁡x)(1cos⁡x)−(1cos⁡x)2= \left(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\cos x}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{\cos x}\right)^2
=tan⁡xsec⁡x−sec⁡2x(Shown)= \tan x \sec x - \sec^2 x \quad \text{(Shown)}

Answer

dydx=tan⁡xsec⁡x−sec⁡2x\frac{dy}{dx} = \tan x \sec x - \sec^2 x (Shown)

1. Express the integral of the derivative from part (a) using the original function.

From (a), ddx(1−sin⁡xcos⁡x)=tan⁡xsec⁡x−sec⁡2x\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1 - \sin x}{\cos x}\right) = \tan x \sec x - \sec^2 x.

Integrating both sides with respect to xx from 00 to π4\frac{\pi}{4}:
∫0π4(tan⁡xsec⁡x−sec⁡2x) dx=[1−sin⁡xcos⁡x]0π4\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} (\tan x \sec x - \sec^2 x) \, dx = \left[ \frac{1 - \sin x}{\cos x} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}

2. Split the integral and rearrange to make the required integral the subject.

∫0π4tan⁡xsec⁡x dx−∫0π4sec⁡2x dx=[1−sin⁡xcos⁡x]0π4\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan x \sec x \, dx - \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec^2 x \, dx = \left[ \frac{1 - \sin x}{\cos x} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}
∫0π4tan⁡xsec⁡x dx=[1−sin⁡xcos⁡x]0π4+∫0π4sec⁡2x dx\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan x \sec x \, dx = \left[ \frac{1 - \sin x}{\cos x} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} + \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \sec^2 x \, dx

3. Integrate $\sec^2 x$ and combine the terms.

Since ∫sec⁡2x dx=tan⁡x\int \sec^2 x \, dx = \tan x, we have:
∫0π4tan⁡xsec⁡x dx=[1−sin⁡xcos⁡x+tan⁡x]0π4\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan x \sec x \, dx = \left[ \frac{1 - \sin x}{\cos x} + \tan x \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}

4. Evaluate the expression at the upper and lower limits.

Substitute x=π4x = \frac{\pi}{4}:
1−sin⁡(π4)cos⁡(π4)+tan⁡(π4)=1−2222+1=(2−1)+1=2\frac{1 - \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})}{\cos(\frac{\pi}{4})} + \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} + 1 = (\sqrt{2} - 1) + 1 = \sqrt{2}

Substitute x=0x = 0:
1−sin⁡(0)cos⁡(0)+tan⁡(0)=1−01+0=1\frac{1 - \sin(0)}{\cos(0)} + \tan(0) = \frac{1 - 0}{1} + 0 = 1

Subtracting the lower limit value from the upper limit value:
∫0π4tan⁡xsec⁡x dx=2−1\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan x \sec x \, dx = \sqrt{2} - 1

Answer

2−1\sqrt{2} - 1

5(6)(ii)

1. Express the integrand in partial fractions (as would have been done in the missing part (i)).

Let −14x2+14x−3x(2x−1)2=Ax+B2x−1+C(2x−1)2\frac{-14x^2 + 14x - 3}{x(2x - 1)^2} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{2x - 1} + \frac{C}{(2x - 1)^2}.
−14x2+14x−3=A(2x−1)2+Bx(2x−1)+Cx-14x^2 + 14x - 3 = A(2x - 1)^2 + Bx(2x - 1) + Cx

Substitute x=0x = 0:
−3=A(−1)2  ⟹  A=−3-3 = A(-1)^2 \implies A = -3

Substitute x=12x = \frac{1}{2}:
−14(14)+14(12)−3=C(12)-14(\frac{1}{4}) + 14(\frac{1}{2}) - 3 = C(\frac{1}{2})
−72+7−3=12C  ⟹  12=12C  ⟹  C=1-\frac{7}{2} + 7 - 3 = \frac{1}{2}C \implies \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}C \implies C = 1

Compare coefficients of x2x^2:
−14=4A+2B-14 = 4A + 2B
−14=4(−3)+2B  ⟹  2B=−2  ⟹  B=−1-14 = 4(-3) + 2B \implies 2B = -2 \implies B = -1

Thus, −14x2+14x−3x(2x−1)2=−3x−12x−1+1(2x−1)2\frac{-14x^2 + 14x - 3}{x(2x - 1)^2} = -\frac{3}{x} - \frac{1}{2x - 1} + \frac{1}{(2x - 1)^2}.

2. Integrate the partial fractions.

∫−14x2+14x−3x(2x−1)2 dx=∫(−3x−12x−1+(2x−1)−2) dx\int \frac{-14x^2 + 14x - 3}{x(2x - 1)^2} \, dx = \int \left( -\frac{3}{x} - \frac{1}{2x - 1} + (2x - 1)^{-2} \right) \, dx
=−3ln⁡∣x∣−12ln⁡∣2x−1∣+(2x−1)−1(−1)(2)+C= -3 \ln |x| - \frac{1}{2} \ln |2x - 1| + \frac{(2x - 1)^{-1}}{(-1)(2)} + C
=−3ln⁡∣x∣−12ln⁡∣2x−1∣−12(2x−1)+C= -3 \ln |x| - \frac{1}{2} \ln |2x - 1| - \frac{1}{2(2x - 1)} + C

Answer

−3ln⁡∣x∣−12ln⁡∣2x−1∣−12(2x−1)+C-3 \ln |x| - \frac{1}{2} \ln |2x - 1| - \frac{1}{2(2x - 1)} + C
