Expansion Of Functions

Method Of Substitution

Solved Problems

Method of using substitution:-

In this method we convert the given the given function

into standard function by substitution.
Examples

1) Expand sec-1( )

Solution:Put x = sin 1- = 1- = cos2

sec-1( ) = sec-1()
= sec-1(sec2)
= 2
= 2sin-1x
= 2{x +

+..}

-1

2) Expand tan (

Solution:Put x = tan + = = sec

-1

tan (

) = tan-1(
= tan-1(

)
1

( )( )

= tan-1(tan(/))

= = .tan-1x

= { x -

+.}

3) Expand sinh-1x(3x + 4x3)

Solution:Put x = sinh
3x + 4x3 = 3sinh + 4 = sinh
sinh-1(3x + 4x3) = sinh-1(sinh) = 3 = 3sinh-1x
To obtain the series of sinh-1x,
Let y = sinh-1x = log(x + + )

=
(
+

= 1 - . +

. -

..
..

. +..

Integrate on both sides,

..

y = a0 + x - . + .. - ... +..
when x=0,y=0 a0=0

4) P.T. cos-1[tanh(logx)] = 2[x -

Solution:Let cos-1[tanh(logx)] = y

cosy = tanh(logx) = +

Hence proved.

5) Expand tan-1(+)

Solution:Let

tan-1(+)=

tan-1(
)
+

Put ( ) = tan & x = tan

tan-1(+) = tan-1(+)
= tan-1tan(-)
= -

= tan-1() tan-1x
-1

= tan () [x -
