General form: integral R(sin x, cos x) dx
Method selection:
- If R(-sin x, cos x) = -R(sin x, cos x) [odd in sin]: substitute t = cos x
- If R(sin x, -cos x) = -R(sin x, cos x) [odd in cos]: substitute t = sin x
- If R(-sin x, -cos x) = R(sin x, cos x) [even in both]: substitute t = tan x
- If none of the above: use Weierstrass substitution t = tan
Examples:
- integral x * x dx: odd in sin => t = cos x
- integral x * x dx: odd in cos => t = sin x
- integral : even in both => divide by x, substitute t = tan x
- integral : none of the above => Weierstrass
