Can anyone solve this hard fothermucker of an integral?
And also, does /sci/ know any good books on solving integrals?
>>8442662
cleo knows all
mwahahahaha
>>8442662
It's already solved.
Just add C.
my name is vishnu lol

Agreed

I have to find out, what calculations lay behind that calculated integral, obviously!
>>8442662
Go learn a fuckton (and I do mean a fuckton) of trigonometric identities, and how to derive them.
I swear every fucking integration problem assigned by my professors is just an exercise in who can find the most obscure trig identities.

I hope you haven't abandoned this thread, OP, because I'm working on it, trying to replicate this answer. Bear with me

or just use the residue lemma
>>8442662
complete the square

ok, OP, here's what you do. I just spent an hour on this problem because I'm a retard.
factor out -a from the integrand.
complete the square (add (b^2-ac/a^2))
you should get (x+b/a)^2 - (b^2-ac)/a^2
use a sin substitution
you can handle it from here.

**factor out 1/sqrt(-a)
>>8442662
use convolution properties

I know I've got shitty handwriting, but I really had to see this through, it was good practice.

Handwriting is ok.
I like your thinking.
ways to handle integrals:
- some math books have tables with integrals.
- wolfram alpha or math software
- numerical integration
