2. Hello,

Well, do you know identities for cos(a+b) and cos(a-b) ?

cos(a+b)=cos(a)cos(b)-sin(a)sin(b)

So what will cos(a-b) be ?

For the second one, use twice the formula for cos(a+b) :

cos(3x)=cos(2x+x)=...

3. $\cos(A + B) = {\color{red}\cos A \cos B} - \sin A \sin B$
$\cos(A - B) = {\color{red} \cos A \cos B} + \sin A \sin B$

If A = B:
$\cos (2A) = \cos(A + A) = \cos A \cos A - \sin A \sin A = \cos^{2} A - \sin^{2} A$

Convert into terms of only cosA and you should get your answer

Use your result from the first question to split your products in to sums. It'll be easier to integrate.

$x = \cos t \: \: \Rightarrow \: \: dx = -\sin t dt$

Make the subs:

$\int \frac{\cos^{2} t}{\sqrt{1 - \cos^{2} t}} \: \cdot -\sin t dt \: \: = \: \:- \int \frac{\cos^{2} t \sin t}{\sqrt{\sin^{2} t}} dt$

etc.

You'll need your half-angle identity from your first question to do it after you simplify.

For the third part $\int\frac{x^2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$

let $x=\cos(\theta)$...dont often see this sub...
then $dx=-\sin(\theta)$
and $x^2=\cos^2(\theta)$

we need to find the limits of integration so $\frac{1}{2}=\cos(\theta)\Rightarrow(\theta=\frac{\ pi}{3}$

and $0=\cos(\theta)\Rightarrow{\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}}$

So putting that in we have

$\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\frac{\cos^2(\ theta)\cdot{-\sin(\theta)}d\theta}{\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\theta)}}$ $=\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\frac{\cos^2( \theta)-\sin(\theta)d\theta}{\sin(\theta)}$

Simplifying we get $-\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\cos^2(\theta) d\theta$

Using the identity $\cos^2(\theta)=\frac{1+\cos(2\theta)}{2}$

we see this is equal to $-\bigg[\frac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)+\frac{\theta}{2}\bigg|_{\ frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}=.045293$

Darn you o_O! Well...its 1-2..but I think it should be 1.5-2 since I put the details ....
