Answer:

Correct Answer: 17. $-\frac{15 \pi+32}{60}$

Solution:

  1. Given, $f(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\sec x & \cos x & \operatorname{cosec} x \cdot \cot x+\sec ^{2} x \ \cos ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x & \operatorname{cosec}^{2} x \ 1 & \cos ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x\end{array}\right|$ Applying $R_{3} \rightarrow \frac{1}{\cos x} R_{3}$,

$f(x)=\cos x\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\sec x & \cos x & \operatorname{cosec} x \cdot \cot x+\sec ^{2} x \ \cos ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x & \operatorname{cosec}^{2} x \ \sec x & \cos x & \cos x\end{array}\right|$

Applying $R_{1} \rightarrow R_{1}-R_{3} \Rightarrow f(x)$

$$ =\cos x\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & \operatorname{cosec} x \cdot \cot x+\sec ^{2} x-\cos x \ \cos ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x & \operatorname{cosec}^{2} x \ \sec x & \cos x & \cos x \end{array}\right| $$

$$ \begin{aligned} & =\left(\operatorname{cosec} x \cdot \cot x+\sec ^{2} x-\cos x\right) \cdot\left(\cos ^{3} x-\cos x\right) \cdot \cos x \ & =-\frac{\sin ^{2} x+\cos ^{3} x-\cos ^{3} x \cdot \sin ^{2} x}{\sin ^{2} x \cdot \cos ^{2} x} \cdot \cos ^{2} x \cdot \sin ^{2} x \ & =-\sin ^{2} x-\cos ^{3} x\left(1-\sin ^{2} x\right)=-\sin ^{2} x-\cos ^{5} x \ & \therefore \quad \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} f(x) d x=-\int_{0}^{\pi / 2}\left(\sin ^{2} x+\cos ^{5} x\right) d x \ & \because \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \sin ^{m} x \cdot \cos ^{n} x d x=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{m+1}{2}} \sqrt{\frac{n+2}{2}}}{2 \sqrt{\frac{m+n+2}{2}}} \ & \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} f(x) d x=-\frac{\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}}{2 \sqrt{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{\frac{6}{2}} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}}{2 \sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}} \ & =-\frac{1 / 2 \cdot \pi}{2}+\frac{2 \sqrt{\pi}}{2 \cdot \frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{\pi}}=-\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{8}{15}=-\frac{15 \pi+32}{60} \end{aligned} $$
