In summary: It might be easier for you to integrate these functions if you keep them in terms of sines, cosines, shines and coshines...

Im stuck with this

cosh x cos y dx/dy =sinh x sin y

after doing I am left with

coth x/tan y= dy/dx

lost in trying to get y as a function of x due to integrating of trigo

I would separate out this way:
$$\coth(x) \, dx= \tan(y) \, dy,$$
and integrate both sides.

hmm...but the solution i get don't seem to be y as the function of x

i got this :

ln sinh x + C = -ln cos y

is this correct?
 
  • #4
I would actually write $ \ln | \sinh(x)|+C= \ln | \sec(y)|$. Note that $-\ln| \cos(y)|=\ln|(\cos(y))^{-1}|= \ln| \sec(y)|$. So now you can simply solve for $y$:
\begin{align*}
e^{C} e^{\ln| \sinh(x)|}&=\sec(y) \\
e^{C} \sinh(x)&= \sec(y).
\end{align*}
Can you finish?

Sadly I can't finish it. the more i look the more i get lost into it. :(

Ok, next step:
$$e^{-C} \text{csch}(x)= \cos(y).$$
Can you finish now?

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*}
\cosh{(x)}\cos{(y)}\frac{dx}{dy} &= \sinh{(x)}\sin{(y)} \\ \frac{\cosh{(x)}}{\sinh{(x)}} \,\frac{dx}{dy} &= \frac{\sin{(y)}}{\cos{(y)}} \\ \int{\frac{\cosh{(x)}}{\sinh{(x)}} \, \frac{dx}{dy}\,dy} &= \int{ \frac{\sin{(y)}}{\cos{(y)}} \, dy} \\ \int{ \frac{\cosh{(x)}}{\sinh{(x)}}\,dx} &= -\int{ \frac{-\sin{(y)}}{\cos{(y)}}\,dy} \end{align*}[/tex]

Each of these can easily be integrated using a substitution [tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} u = \sinh{(x)} \implies du = \cosh{(x)}\,dx \end{align*}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} v = \cos{(y)} \implies dv = -\sin{(y)}\,dy \end{align*}[/tex]

i have a question, can y be be any function or it has to be y itself
for its asking the expression y of the function x?
 
  • #9
If it's an ordinary differential equation (as you have stated it is) then y has to be a function of x (or vice versa).

Thanks...but i have yet to remove the trigos to get y alone.
 

FAQ: How to Solve Trigonometric Integrals and Isolate y as a Function of x

What is ODE and how is it related to trigonometric functions?

ODE stands for Ordinary Differential Equation, which is a type of mathematical equation that involves derivatives of a dependent variable with respect to an independent variable. Trigonometric functions, such as sine and cosine, are often used to model the behavior of physical systems in ODEs.

Can trigonometric functions be integrated with ODEs?

Yes, trigonometric functions can be integrated with ODEs. In fact, many real-world problems can be modeled using ODEs with trigonometric functions. For example, the motion of a swinging pendulum can be described using a second-order ODE with a sine function.

What are the benefits of integrating trigonometric functions with ODEs?

Integrating trigonometric functions with ODEs allows for more accurate and realistic modeling of physical systems. Trigonometric functions can represent periodic behavior, which is often observed in nature. In addition, ODEs with trigonometric functions can be solved using analytical or numerical methods to obtain solutions.

What are some common techniques for integrating trigonometric functions with ODEs?

Some common techniques for integrating trigonometric functions with ODEs include substitution, integration by parts, and using trigonometric identities. These techniques can help simplify the ODE and make it easier to solve.

How are ODEs with trigonometric functions used in scientific research?

ODEs with trigonometric functions are commonly used in scientific research to model and understand various physical systems. They can be used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biology to study the behavior of oscillating systems. ODEs with trigonometric functions can also be used to analyze data and make predictions in areas such as climate science and economics.
