Find upper boundary of an absolute value of a integral












0












$begingroup$


I can't prove that
$mid int_0^{pi}frac{Rcosx}{R^2cos^2x+1}dxmid leq int_0^pifrac{R}{R^2-1}dx$.



Could you help me with a hint?

    Did you at least evaluate either integral? If so, you should edit your question to show what you found.

    I am not sure if you have a typo in your question. As far as I can tell, the right hand side integral is equal to $pifrac{R}{R^2-1}$ which is less than zero if $R<-1$ or $0<R<1$. In those cases, you can't prove the result because the result is false. If $R>1$, I suggest you graph $cos(x)/(R^2 cos^2 x +1)$ for $R=2$ or $R=3$. I think that will give you a hint about the value of the left hand side.

    $begingroup$
    Since, as pointed out by @irchans the right side can be negative, making the inequality false, I suspect the expression is supposed to be $dfrac{R}{R^2+1}$ rather than $dfrac{R}{R^2-1}$. In that case the inequality is true because the integral on the left is identically zero.

You asked for a hint, so here it is:



Make the substitution $u=x-frac{pi}{2}$ and then use the fact that $sin(u)$ is an odd function.
