Indefinite Integration 1 Question 19

20. The integral π/4π/2(2cosecx)17dx is equal to

(a) 0log(1+2)2(eu+eu)16du

(2014 Adv.)

(b) 0log(1+2)(eu+eu)17du

(c) 0log(1+2)(eueu)17du

(d) 0log(1+2)2(eueu)16du

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. PLAN This type of question can be done using appropriate substitution.

Given, I=π/4π/2(2cosecx)17dx

=π/4π/2217(cosecx)16cosecx(cosecx+cotx)(cosecx+cotx)dx

Let cosecx+cotx=t

(cosecxcotxcosec2x)dx=dt

and cosecxcotx=1/t

2cosecx=t+1tI=2+11217t+1t2dtt

Let t=eudt=eudu.

When t=1,eu=1u=0

and when t=2+1,eu=2+1

u=ln(2+1)I=ln(2+1)02(eu+eu)16eudueu=20ln(2+1)(eu+eu)16du
