Solution

The image contains two integrals with a goal to show their equivalence. The integrals are:

  1. 02πemxcos(nθ)dθ54cos(θϕ)=2π5emϕcos(nϕ)\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{e^{mx} \cos(n\theta)\, d\theta}{5 - 4\cos(\theta - \phi)} = \frac{2\pi}{5} e^{m\phi} \cos(n\phi)
  2. 02πemxsin(nθ)dθ54cos(θϕ)=2π5emϕsin(nϕ)\int_0^{2\pi} \frac{e^{mx} \sin(n\theta)\, d\theta}{5 - 4\cos(\theta - \phi)} = \frac{2\pi}{5} e^{m\phi} \sin(n\phi)

Let me break down the steps to solve these integrals.

Step 1: Use the Complex Exponential Representation

The complex exponential representation for cosine and sine can be written as:

  • cos(nθ)=einθ+einθ2\cos(n\theta) = \frac{e^{in\theta} + e^{-in\theta}}{2}
  • sin(nθ)=einθeinθ2i\sin(n\theta) = \frac{e^{in\theta} - e^{-in\theta}}{2i}

Step 2: Consider the Integral's Denominator Structure

The denominator 54cos(θϕ)5 - 4\cos(\theta - \phi) can be recognized as part of a trigonometric identity. This structure often relates to Chebyshev polynomials or complex function representations. To simplify, convert the cosine term into its exponential form:

cos(θϕ)=ei(θϕ)+ei(θϕ)2\cos(\theta - \phi) = \frac{e^{i(\theta - \phi)} + e^{-i(\theta - \phi)}}{2}

This may transform the integral into a form that can be evaluated using residue calculus or by recognizing it as a known Fourier series expansion.

Step 3: Use the Residue Theorem

The key idea is to transform the integral into a contour integral in the complex plane. By substituting z=eiθz = e^{i\theta}, we convert the integral over θ\theta to a contour integral over the unit circle in the complex plane:

  • dθ=dzizd\theta = \frac{dz}{iz}
  • cos(θϕ)\cos(\theta - \phi) transforms into a function of zz.

This will simplify the integral, allowing us to apply the residue theorem to calculate the value.

Step 4: Find the Poles and Residues

The poles of the integrand will occur where the denominator vanishes. Solve for the values of zz where:

54cos(θϕ)=05 - 4\cos(\theta - \phi) = 0

Once the poles are identified, calculate the residues at those points. Summing the residues inside the unit circle will give the result of the contour integral.

Step 5: Compare with the Given Result

The final expression should match the given right-hand side expressions 2π5emϕcos(nϕ)\frac{2\pi}{5} e^{m\phi} \cos(n\phi) and 2π5emϕsin(nϕ)\frac{2\pi}{5} e^{m\phi} \sin(n\phi), confirming the equality.
