JEE Main Solved Paper 2017 Question 15

Question: The integral $ \int\limits _{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{3\pi }{4}}{\frac{dx}{1+cos,x}} $ is equal to:- [JEE Main Solved Paper-2017]

Options:

A) -1

B) -2

C) 2

D) 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ I=\int\limits _{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{3\pi }{4}}{\frac{dx}{1+\cos x}} $ .. [a]

$ I=\int\limits _{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{3\pi }{4}}{\frac{dx}{1-\cos x}} $ .. [b]

Adding and $ 2I=\int\limits _{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{3\pi }{4}}{\frac{2}{{{\sin }^{2}}x}}dx $

$ I=\int\limits _{\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{3\pi }{4}}{\cos ec^{2}x,dx} $ $ I=-(\cot x) _{\pi /4}^{3\pi /4}=2 $
