what is $int_0^1 sqrt{1+2sin^2(t)+cos^2(t)}dt$?












3












$begingroup$


The question is : Is $sqrt 3$ the length of $$Gamma ={gamma (t)=(t,sin(t),sqrt 2cos(t))mid tin [0,1]} ?$$
So it is $$int_0^1|gamma '(t)|dt=int_0^1 sqrt{1+2sin^2(t)+cos^2(t)}dt$$



I tries to do many substitution as $cos^2(t)=frac{1+cos(2t)}{2}$, $sin^2(t)=frac{1-cos(2t)}{2}$, or $1=cos^2(t)+sin^2(t)$ but I can't conclude. I'm sure there is a trick but I don't see it, could someone help ?

    Your integral leads to an Elliptic one: $$sqrt {3}{it EllipticE} left( 1/3,sqrt {3} right) -sqrt {3}{it EllipticE} left( cos left( 1 right) ,1/3,sqrt {3} right) $$

You are misreading the question that was posed to you. It asks if $sqrt{3}$ can be the value of said integral. It is possible to avoid straight-forward integration by exploring the possibility that it may not. To this end you may be able to find an (easy) inequality to show this.



Notice that $2+sin^2(t) < 3$ for every $tin[0;1]$. Thus:
$$||Gamma||=intlimits_0^1 sqrt{2+sin^2(t)} mathrm{d}t < intlimits_0^1sqrt{3} mathrm{d}t=sqrt{3},$$ which answers your question.

$begingroup$

$$1=cos^2x+sin^2x$$
$$2=1+cos^2x+sin^2x$$
$$2+sin^2x=1+cos^2x+2sin^2x$$
so
$$||Gamma||=int_0^1sqrt{1+cos^2x+2sin^2x},mathrm dx=int_0^1sqrt{2+sin^2x},mathrm dx$$
Then recall the definition of the incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind
$$mathrm E(phi,k)=int_0^phisqrt{1-ksin^2x},mathrm dx$$
So we have that
$$||Gamma||=sqrt{2},mathrm Ebigg(1,-frac12bigg)approx 1.064728654529...$$
Which might (but probably not) have a closed form
