I got this doubt while evaluating the integrals: $$I=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\ln(\sin x)\sin xdx$$ and $$J=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\csc xdx$$ Now even though the integrand $f(x)=\ln(\sin x)\sin x$ is not defined at $x=0$ which is the lower limit, still it has a finite answer. But integrand i...

Judging from what I have found online, it seems 不法 is mainly used to refer to illegal immigration, trespassing, etc, whereas 違法 can refer to any illegal act. Is this accurate? Is there a m...

Suppose we had the equation below and we are going to differentiate it both sides: \begin{align} &2x^2-x=1\\ &4x-1=0\\ &4=0 \end{align} This problem doesn't seems to happens with other equation like $\ln x =1$ or $\sin x = 0$, we can keep differentiating these two without getting "$4=0$", for ex...
