    I made a mistake while editing the video:
    For the 2nd integral, use double angle formulae for sin2x, sin6x, sin10x and sin30x to get the integral on line 2 at the 4:51 mark. The solution development for this integral is credited to my friend Myers

    i could’ve never figured out factoring out cos^2 from (sinx+cosx)^2 in the first problem in order to set up a u-substitution. it’s such a nice, simple solution that requires just a bit of outside the box thinking to find.

      when you are going to factor out the cosine, you need to take care about the power of 2 of the whole expression. Try writing it simpler and add more steps by writing it as whole like (sinx+cosx)(sinx+cosx). When i did that i could see it immediately. But just in case: This leads to cosx(sinx/cosx + 1)*cosx(sinx/cosx + 1) then you see its the same expression twice and there you go. @@familyfamily6037

    Great video! My favourites are also the third one and the fifth one (in the order you make them on the video). This are the ones with the really nice ideas in the solution. The fifth one's idea of comparing to the integral from 0 to 1/2 is kinda natural thanks to the 2^n in the sum. The third one is the one I wouldn't have a big hope of getting something nice while trying to get a and b haha, but it works.

    For problem 2, it's easier if you substitute u = 2x so that the integral covers a full period of cosine. Then once you have your sum you can use the orthogonality of Fourier series terms. It also saves a lot of extra 2s in the intermediate calculations.

    At 10:07 here is a quick way to see int_[0 to pi] 4 cos^2(8x) dx = 2pi. By periodicity it's clear that if we replace cos with sin we get the same answer. Now if we add we get
    2*answer = int_[0 to pi] 4(cos^2(8x) + sin^2(8x)) dx = int_[0 to pi] 4 dx = 4pi
    Therefore the answer is 2pi.

    All integrals and differentiation is like the gearing systems of a car or watches. Functional transforms and substitution of limits is like the size of the gears and there number of teeth. When limits are changed from one to other it is somewhat like changed number of teeth on the gears and clutches. Functional transforms are like sine cosine etc. the rate of change of functional parameters. Maths is somewhat like that. A gearing systems with dimensions. FofF is dimensions switch. Or base or radical changes.

    Here is my attempt to the squared summation integral:
    1. Expand the squared summation and split into 2 parts, the squared terms and the cross product terms
    2.For squared terms, resolve the integer function term by splitting the [0,1] interval into [i/2^n,(i+1)/2^n] for i=0,...,2^n-1
    3.For cross product terms, resolve the integer function term by splitting the [0,1] interval into intervals such that int[(2^i)x] and int[(2^j)x] jumps over the consecutive integer pairs {0,0},{0,1}...,{0,2^(j-i)-1},...,{2^i-1,2^j-1}
    4.Integrate the resolved constant functions term-wise and apply arithmetic & geometric series

    Question on the first problem you did but how were you able to factor out a (cos(x))^2?
    Wouldn’t redistributing that create (sin(x))^2(cos(x))+cos(x)^2, assuming you include the cos(x) in the denominator of sin(x) to cancel out a cos(x)?
    To add to that, how were you able to include a cos(x) in the denominator of sin(x)? just wondering where that came from.
    Also how were you able to keep the contents in the denominator (tan(x)+1) squared despite factoring out cos(x)^2?
    Generally speaking, I do see how the trig identity of sin/cos creates tan(x) and that 1/cos(x)^2 creates sec(x)^2 but I’m still a little confused on the other aforementioned parts.
    Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
