Euler Substitution of the First Kind (for a>0) – Review

In the previous post:

Euler Substitution of the First Kind

we dealt with integrals of the type:

,

where a>0.

We also solved an example integral that meets this condition, i.e.

But what if in the trinomial is negative (the case when a=0 can be ignored because it would no longer be a quadratic trinomial, and the integral can be solved by a simpler substitution than the Euler substitution) ?

Then the second type of Euler substitution might help us (but it might not…):

Euler Substitution of the Second Kind (for c>0)

Having an integral of the type:

,

where c>0, we use a substitution of the type:

,

which we again square on both sides, where this time the terms with cancel out, and then we divide both sides by to get a linear dependency, from which we solve using the variable in order:

We substitute all this into the integral:

and we end up again with a rational integral, which – I repeat – is generally tedious.

Let’s proceed with an example.

Example

In the quadratic trinomial, the order of terms is slightly changed, but it’s clear that . That means is not greater than (so we won’t use the first kind of Euler substitution), but c>0 (so we’ll use the second kind).

We substitute:

We square both sides:

The 2 term cancels out (as it should):

And now something that wasn’t in the first kind of substitution, we divide both sides by x:

Next we solve for x:

We have x solved in terms of the variable t. Now we solve for . Initially, we had the substitution:

is already solved, so we just plug it in:

We only have to solve for . We calculate it by taking the derivative of :

We have thus solved:

, all using the variable . We take the integral:

and substitute:

Let’s clean up:

\int{\frac{-2\left( -\sqrt{2}{{t}^{2}}+\sqrt{2}+t \right)}{\left( 1-2\sqrt{2}t \right)\left( -\sqrt{2}{{t}^{2}}+\sqrt{2}+t \right)}dt} \int{\frac{-2}{1-2\sqrt{2}t}dt}=\left| \begin{matrix}&u=1-2\sqrt{2}t\\&du=-2\sqrt{2}dt\\&dt=\frac{du}{-2\sqrt{2}}\\\end{matrix} \right|=\int{\frac{-2}{u}\frac{du}{-2\sqrt{2}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\int{\frac{du}{u}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ln \left| u \right|+C

Returning to the substitution:

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ln \left| u \right|+C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ln \left| 1-2\sqrt{2}t \right|+C

We still need to return from t to x. Our Euler substitution was

xt+\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2+x-{{x}^{2}}}

From which

t=\frac{\sqrt{2+x-{{x}^{2}}}-\sqrt{2}}{x}

Thus our solution is

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ln \left| u \right|+C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ln \left| 1-2\sqrt{2}t \right|+C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\ln \left| 1-2\sqrt{2}\frac{\sqrt{2+x-{{x}^{2}}}-\sqrt{2}}{x} \right|+C

What about other cases?

We know that when in the integral:

  • a>0 – we use the first kind of substitution
  • c>0 – we use the second kind of substitution

But what if neither nor are greater than zero? We’ll discuss this in the next post, where I’ll cover the third kind of Euler substitution and show that the topic will be exhausted, i.e., for each type of integral:

…we’ll choose one of the three kinds of substitution.

konometria jest dosyć młodą dziedziną wypływającą z ekonomii i matematyki. W praktyce, dzięki modelom ekonometrycznym, możesz „zmierzyć gospodarkę”.Polega to konkretnie na zmierzeniu, jak zachowuje się jedna zmienna w zależności od innych. I na podstawie analizy tego, co było, możesz określać, co będzie się działo w przyszłości.

Wykorzystasz do tego przeróżne obliczenia, testy, schematy. Jedne będą bardzo proste, inne trudniejsze. Jednak najczęściej będzie się liczyło nie to, jak dojdziesz do wyniku, ale jak go zinterpretujesz, odczytasz i jakie wnioski wyciągniesz.

Poniższe Wykłady dotykają najważniejszych pojęć teoretycznych. Jestem przekonana, że pomogę Ci odkrywaniu tego, czym jest ekonometria. I przy okazji uda Ci się zaliczyć ten przedmiot na studiach.
