calculus - Integration by Euler's formula




How do you integrate the following by using Euler's formula, without using integration by parts? I=3+4cosθ(3cosθ+4)2dθ



I did integrate it by parts, by writing the 3 in the numerator as 3sin2θ+3cos2θ, and then splitting the numerator.



But can it be solved by using complex numbers and the Euler's formula?


Answer



Hint



When you have an expression with a squared denominator, you could think that the solution is of the form I=3+4cosθ(3cosθ+4)2 dθ=a+bsinθ+ccosθ3cosθ+4

Differentiate the rhs and identify terms. You will get very simple results.
