IntegrationIntegration by Trigonometric Substitution 2We assume that you are familiar with the material in integration by trigonometric substitution 1 and geometric representation of trigonometric functions. Various methods are available for evaluating the integrals of rational functions (ratios of two polynomials). It has been discovered that a fractional expression involving trig functions can always be transformed into a rational function. Let u = tan We deduce
Since all other trig functions can be written in terms of sin x and cos x all fractional expressions of trig functions can always be transformed into a rational function. ExampleConsider Let u = tan The integral simplifies to :
