Advanced mathematics, the first question, why add an sgn function?
This is a replacement for the previous one. Because x= 1/cost, 0≦t≦π, t ≠ π/2; When 0≤t

When π/2

√(x? - 1)=√[( 1/cos? t)- 1]=√[(sin? t)/(cos? T)]=(sint)/∣cost∣, because when 0≦t≦π, sint≧0 remains unchanged.

Therefore, it can have no absolute value sign; The cost should be signed, so the absolute value should be signed.

In the later integral, ∫{[√(x? - 1)]/x? }dx=∫[(sin? tcos? T)/∣cost∣]dt, in order to facilitate integration, here he removed the absolute value sign of cost and replaced it with sgnx, and got ∫sin? tcostdt? sgnx=( 1/3)sin? t? Sgnx+C indicates that there is a symbol selection problem here. The selection rules of symbols are the rules mentioned above. Sgnx is called a symbolic function.
