Can this equation be converted to an equivalent fourier transform?

P(1-P)=\int_0^{pi} ( (sin (t))/2)^9 dt

Just look at your integrand(the part inside the integral) and the limits. Clearly the result of the integral is a single number(a scalar). It is NOT a function. The fact that this number equals P-P2 doesn't change anything. P will resolve to at most two numbers.

The fourier transform of a number(aka, the dirac delta function) is a sine wave. The answer is P=sin(kx), where k is a constant.

You can fourier transform things. But the language of converting something into an equivalent fourier transform is new to me. The fourier transform is a conversion. Do you plan on converting to conversions?

No offence, but you always just take a quadratic equation and write in out in some obscure integral form. All of your math questions are about these quadratics. The solution is two roots. Either real and distinct. Real and repeated. Or imaginary. P = two numbers!!! Plain old....numbers.

I guess what I am asking is to put into an equation with natural logrithms.

I am aware it is a number. But thanks. There are a lot of things that are dimensionless.

natural logarithms are not Fourier transforms, but here you go:

\ln(P(1-P)) = \ln(P) + \ln(1-P) = \ln( \int_0^{\pi} ((\sin(t))/2)^9 dt) = \ln(0.0015873) = -6.446

However, as long as you don't understand that the RHS of your equation is a number there is basically nothing to discuss just like in all your other questions about this "magical" equation.

Glad you are having fun, but maybe you can start to try to actually think about what question you want to ask and then formulate it in an understanding way.

you are right. I did not formulate my questions in a meaningful way. I was thinking the equation could be put in some form of y(1-y)=\int_v^w e^{ax}+e^{bx}dx with different limits, but if it is possible, I don't know how to do it.

well

\sin(x) = \frac{1}{2} \left( e^{ix} + e^{-ix} \right)

well

\sin(x) = \frac{1}{2} \left( e^{ix} + e^{-ix} \right)

I'll see if I can figure it out from there.

That's cos(x).

\sin(x) = \frac{1}{2i} \left( e^{ix} - e^{-ix} \right)

edit: there's no need to calculate anything. Picture both unit vectors in the complex plane at your preferred angle. I usually use 30 degrees. If you add them together, the answer is purely real and starts off with a value of 1 when x=0. Now subtract them and the answer starts at 0 and grows, along the imaginary axis.

Had to work, didn't really have a chance to look at it yet, but thanks Shinace.
