1. Apply integration by substitution by letting $u = \sin^{-1} x$.

Let u=sin⁡−1xu = \sin^{-1} x.
Then dudx=11−x2\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}, which gives du=11−x2 dxdu = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx.

2. Determine the new limits of integration in terms of $u$.

When x=22x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, u=sin⁡−1(22)=π4u = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}.
When x=32x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, u=sin⁡−1(32)=π3u = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3}.

3. Substitute into the integral and evaluate to find the exact value.

∫π4π32u du=[u2]π4π3\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} 2u \, du = [u^2]_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}
=(π3)2−(π4)2= \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)^2
=π29−π216= \frac{\pi^2}{9} - \frac{\pi^2}{16}
=16π2−9π2144= \frac{16\pi^2 - 9\pi^2}{144}
=7π2144= \frac{7\pi^2}{144}

Answer

\frac{7\pi^2}{144}

1. Find where the expression inside the modulus changes sign in the given interval.

cos⁡2x=0\cos 2x = 0
2x=π2  ⟹  x=π42x = \frac{\pi}{2} \implies x = \frac{\pi}{4}
Since 0≤x≤π30 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{3}, the sign changes at x=π4x = \frac{\pi}{4}.

2. Split the definite integral to resolve the modulus.

For 0≤x≤π40 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{4}, cos⁡2x≥0\cos 2x \geq 0.
For π4<x≤π3\frac{\pi}{4} < x \leq \frac{\pi}{3}, cos⁡2x<0\cos 2x < 0.
∫0π3∣cos⁡2x∣ dx=∫0π4cos⁡2x dx+∫π4π3(−cos⁡2x) dx\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} |\cos 2x|\,dx = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \cos 2x \,dx + \int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} (-\cos 2x) \,dx

3. Integrate and evaluate using the exact trigonometric values.

=[12sin⁡2x]0π4−[12sin⁡2x]π4π3= \left[ \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} - \left[ \frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \right]_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}
=12(sin⁡π2−sin⁡0)−12(sin⁡2π3−sin⁡π2)= \frac{1}{2}\left( \sin\frac{\pi}{2} - \sin 0 \right) - \frac{1}{2}\left( \sin\frac{2\pi}{3} - \sin\frac{\pi}{2} \right)
=12(1−0)−12(32−1)= \frac{1}{2}(1 - 0) - \frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 1 \right)
=12−34+12= \frac{1}{2} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} + \frac{1}{2}
=1−34= 1 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}

Answer

1−341 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}

1. Express the quadratic denominator in the completed square form.

−x2+2kx+3k2=−(x2−2kx)+3k2-x^2 + 2kx + 3k^2 = -(x^2 - 2kx) + 3k^2
=−((x−k)2−k2)+3k2= -\left((x-k)^2 - k^2\right) + 3k^2
=4k2−(x−k)2= 4k^2 - (x-k)^2
=(2k)2−(x−k)2= (2k)^2 - (x-k)^2

2. Evaluate the integral using the standard formula for $\frac{1}{a^2-x^2}$.

∫1−x2+2kx+3k2 dx=∫1(2k)2−(x−k)2 dx\int \frac{1}{-x^2+2kx+3k^2}\,dx = \int \frac{1}{(2k)^2 - (x-k)^2}\,dx
=12(2k)ln⁡∣2k+(x−k)2k−(x−k)∣+C= \frac{1}{2(2k)} \ln \left| \frac{2k + (x-k)}{2k - (x-k)} \right| + C
=14kln⁡∣x+k3k−x∣+C= \frac{1}{4k} \ln \left| \frac{x+k}{3k-x} \right| + C

Answer

14kln⁡∣x+k3k−x∣+C\frac{1}{4k} \ln \left| \frac{x+k}{3k-x} \right| + C
