need help w/ int[(cos^2(x) / ((1+ acos(theta)sin(x))^5))]dx

[mickry]

can any one help me integrate:

(cos^2(x) / ((1+ acos(theta)sin(x))^5))dx

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Is this your intergal?:

\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{cos^{2}(x)}{(1+cos^{-1}({\theta})sin(x))^{5}}dx\)

If so, try Maple, MathCad, etc.

the cos on the bottom is not inverse a is a constant

 

[stapel]

the cos on the bottom is not inverse a is a constant

I'm sorry, but could you please kindly put the above into complete sentences?

Thank you.

Eliz.

If I understand correctly, here's what Maple gave me as the solution.
Sorry, It didn't turn out too well :roll: . I will try to fix it later. I believe it is enough to show that the solution to this is horrendous.
