TopicIntegration by Substitution

8.
  1. Use the substitution \(u = 1 + \sin ^ { 2 } x\) to show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 6 } } \frac { 8 \tan x } { 1 + \sin ^ { 2 } x } \mathrm {~d} x = \int _ { p } ^ { q } \frac { 4 } { u ( 2 - u ) } \mathrm { d } u$$ where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants to be found.
  2. Hence, using algebraic integration, show that $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 6 } } \frac { 8 \tan x } { 1 + \sin ^ { 2 } x } \mathrm {~d} x = \ln A$$ where \(A\) is a rational number to be found.
