I’m trying to evaluateπ/2∫0dx11+8sin2(tanx)And made the substitution u=tanx. ThereforeI=∞∫0dx1(1+x2)(1+8sin2x)Through some manipulations, you arrive atI=∞∫0dx1(1+x2)(5−4cos2x)However, I’m confused what to do after that. The answer key started with∞∫0dx1(1+x2)(5−4cos2x)=∞∫0dx11+x2(13+23∑k≥1cos2kx2k)However, I’m confused where they got the infinite sum from. Any ideas?
Answer
It is just a geometric series in disguise. You may consider that
∑k≥0cos(2kx)2k=Re∑k≥0(e2ix2)k=Re(22−e2ix)=2Re(2−e−2ix5−4cos(2x))
equals 45−4cos(2x). In particular
∫+∞0dx(1+x2)(5−4cos(2x))=π6+23∑k≥112k∫+∞0cos(2kx)1+x2dx=π6+23∑k≥1π2k+1e2k=π6⋅2e2+12e2−1.
