Integration of log tanx

For integration of $\log(\tan x)$, we generally consider the definite integral over the interval from 0 to $\pi/2$ To calculate the definite integral of $\log(\tan x)$ from (0) to $\pi/2$, we use a technique involving symmetry and the properties of logarithms. The integral is: \[\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\tan x) \, dx\] Let $I=\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\tan x) \, dx$

Integration of periodic functions

The integration of a periodic function involves some unique properties and approaches due to the function’s repeating nature. A function $f(x)$ is said to be periodic with period $T$ if for all $x$ in the domain of $f$, $f(x + T) = f(x)$. This periodicity can significantly simplify the integration process over intervals that are

Common mistake doing average speed calculation

Two most common errors you should avoid when you see an average speed question.

Mistake #1

The most common mistakes in average speed problems occurs when the question asks you to calculate the average speed of a object moving at two different speeds for different parts of the journey. Students are generally tempted to calculate the arithmetic mean (average) of the two speeds, and select a corresponding answer. This averaging approach is wrong.
