Question

Let \[ f(x)=\int \frac{1-\sin(\ell n t)}{1-\cos(\ell n t)} \, dt \] and \[ f\left(e^{\pi/2}\right)=-e^{\pi/2} \] then find $f\left(e^{\pi/4}\right)$.

• A. $e^{-\pi/4}(\sqrt{2}+1)$
• B. $-e^{\pi/4}(\sqrt{2}+1)$
• C. $e^{-\pi/4}(\sqrt{2}-1)$
• D. $e^{\pi/4}(\sqrt{2}-1)$

Hint:

When logarithmic terms appear inside trigonometric functions, try substitution using $\ell n t$ and simplify using identities before integrating.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To find \( f\left(e^{\pi/4}\right) \) given the function:

\[f(x) = \int \frac{1 - \sin(\ln t)}{1 - \cos(\ln t)} \, dt \] and the conditi\]

 

1. Firstly, consider substituting \( t = e^u \). So, the differential \( dt \) becomes \( e^u \, du \). Substituting in the integral: 
    

\[f(x) = \int \frac{1 - \sin(\ln(e^u))}{1 - \cos(\ln(e^u))} \cdot e^u \, du = \int \frac{1 - \sin(u)}{1 - \cos(u)} \cdot e^u \, du\]

1. This suggests that the problem involves integration in the variable \( u \) over a logarithmic transformation of \( t \). We proceed by simplifying the integral function: 
   Notice that we have: 

\[\frac{1 - \sin(u)}{1 - \cos(u)} = \frac{(1 - \sin(u))(1 + \cos(u))}{(1 - \cos(u))(1 + \cos(u))}\]

1. Simplifying: 

\[= \frac{1 - \sin(u) - \cos(u) + \sin(u)\cos(u)}{1 - \cos^2(u)}\]

1. Since \( \cos^2(u) = 1 - \sin^2(u) \), then \( 1 - \cos^2(u) = \sin^2(u) \). 
   Thus: 

\[= \frac{1 - \sin(u) - \cos(u) + \sin(u)\cos(u)}{\sin^2(u)} \]\]

1. Now, focusing on the given function, evaluating at specific points is key. From the original problem: 

\[f\left(e^{\pi/2}\right) = -e^{\pi/2}\]

1. This is a crucial boundary or condition. To address: 

\[f(x) \cdot \frac{1}{x} = -1, \rightarrow \text{and since} \, x = e^{\pi/2} \, \text{leads to:} \]\]

1. Now using this property: 

\[\int \frac{1 - \sin(u)}{\sin^2(u)} \, du = \int \left(\csc^2(u) - \frac{\cos(u)}{\sin^2(u)}\right) \, du\]

1. The above expression suggests decomposing into simpler integrals:
   • Integral of cosecant squared function: \(-\cot(u)\)
   • Integral involving cosine divided by sine squared: \(\csc(u)\) function recuren\)
2. Upon evaluating from the formula of both segments: 

\[f\left(e^{\pi/4}\right) = f\left(e^{\pi/2}\right) * \frac{1}{e^{\pi/4}} \] \]\]

1. Therefore: 
   The correct answer is: \(-e^{\pi/4}(\sqrt{2}+1)\)

In summary, the solution involves evaluating the new conditions implied by initially provided solutions around specific values, while employing relevant trigonometric transformations and integrals.
