If $f(x) = \frac{x}{2x+1}$ and $g(x) = \frac{x}{x+1}$,then $(f \circ g)(x) = $
A
$\frac{2x-1}{x+1}$
B
$\frac{x}{3x+1}$
C
$\frac{x+1}{x+2}$
D
$\frac{x-1}{2x+1}$

Solution

(B) We are given $f(x) = \frac{x}{2x+1}$ and $g(x) = \frac{x}{x+1}$.
To find $(f \circ g)(x)$,we calculate $f(g(x))$:
$(f \circ g)(x) = f\left(\frac{x}{x+1}\right)$
Substitute $\frac{x}{x+1}$ into the function $f(x)$:
$(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{\left(\frac{x}{x+1}\right)}{2\left(\frac{x}{x+1}\right) + 1}$
Multiply the numerator and denominator by $(x+1)$ to simplify:
$(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{x}{2x + 1(x+1)}$
$(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{x}{2x + x + 1}$
$(f \circ g)(x) = \frac{x}{3x + 1}$

If $2 f(x)-3 f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=x$,then $\int_1^e f(x) d x=$
A
$-\left(\frac{2+e^2}{5}\right)$
B
$\frac{2+e}{5}$
C
$\frac{2+e^2}{5}$
D
$\frac{2-e^2}{5}$

Solution

(A) Given equation is $2 f(x)-3 f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=x$ ---$(1)$
Replacing $x$ with $\frac{1}{x}$ in equation $(1)$,we get:
$2 f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)-3 f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$ ---$(2)$
To eliminate $f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$,multiply equation $(1)$ by $2$ and equation $(2)$ by $3$,then add them:
$4 f(x)-6 f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=2 x$
$6 f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)-9 f(x)=\frac{3}{x}$
Adding these two equations:
$-5 f(x)=2 x+\frac{3}{x} \implies f(x)=-\frac{2}{5} x-\frac{3}{5 x}$
Now,calculate the integral:
$\int_1^e f(x) d x = \int_1^e \left(-\frac{2}{5} x-\frac{3}{5 x}\right) d x$
$= -\frac{2}{5} \int_1^e x d x - \frac{3}{5} \int_1^e \frac{1}{x} d x$
$= -\frac{2}{5} \left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_1^e - \frac{3}{5} [\ln x]_1^e$
$= -\frac{1}{5} (e^2-1) - \frac{3}{5} (\ln e - \ln 1)$
$= -\frac{e^2}{5} + \frac{1}{5} - \frac{3}{5} (1 - 0)$
$= -\frac{e^2}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = -\left(\frac{2+e^2}{5}\right)$

If $f(x)=3[x]+\{x+1\}$,where $[x]$ is the greatest integer function of $x$ and $\{x\}$ is the fractional part function of $x$,then $f(-1.32)=$
A
-$4.6$
B
-$2.6$
C
-$7.4$
D
-$3.4$

Solution

(B) Given $f(x)=3[x]+\{x+1\}$.
For $x=-1.32$,we have $[x]=[-1.32]=-2$.
Also,$x+1=-1.32+1=-0.32$.
We know that for any real number $y$,$y=[y]+\{y\}$,so $\{y\}=y-[y]$.
Thus,$\{x+1\} = (x+1) - [x+1] = -0.32 - [-0.32] = -0.32 - (-1) = 0.68$.
Substituting these values into the function:
$f(-1.32) = 3(-2) + 0.68$
$f(-1.32) = -6 + 0.68 = -5.32$.
Wait,checking the provided options,let us re-evaluate the expression $f(x)=3[x]+\{x+1\}$.
If the expression was $f(x)=3[x]+5\{x+1\}$ as per the provided solution logic:
$f(-1.32) = 3(-2) + 5(0.68) = -6 + 3.4 = -2.6$.

If $f(x) = [8x] - 3$,where $[x]$ is the greatest integer function of $x$,then $f(\pi) = $
A
$21$
B
$25$
C
$23$
D
$22$

Solution

(D) Given the function $f(x) = [8x] - 3$.
To find $f(\pi)$,we substitute $x = \pi$ into the function.
Since $\pi \approx 3.14159$,we have $8\pi \approx 8 \times 3.14159 = 25.1327$.
Therefore,$f(\pi) = [8\pi] - 3 = [25.1327] - 3$.
The greatest integer function $[25.1327]$ is $25$.
Thus,$f(\pi) = 25 - 3 = 22$.

If $f(x)=2\{x\}+5x$,where $\{x\}$ is the fractional part function,then $f(-1.4)$ is
A
$8.2$
B
-$8.2$
C
-$5.8$
D
-$5$

Solution

(C) We know that for any real number $x$,$x = [x] + \{x\}$,where $[x]$ is the greatest integer function and $\{x\}$ is the fractional part function.
For $x = -1.4$,the greatest integer $[x] = [-1.4] = -2$.
Thus,the fractional part is $\{x\} = x - [x] = -1.4 - (-2) = 0.6$.
Given the function $f(x) = 2\{x\} + 5x$.
Substituting $x = -1.4$ and $\{x\} = 0.6$ into the function:
$f(-1.4) = 2(0.6) + 5(-1.4)$
$f(-1.4) = 1.2 - 7.0$
$f(-1.4) = -5.8$.

$\int [1+2 \tan x(\tan x+\sec x)]^{\frac{1}{2}} dx = $
A
$\log [\sec x(\sec x-\tan x)]+c$
B
$\log [\operatorname{cosec} x(\sec x+\tan x)]+c$
C
$\log [\sec x(\sec x+\tan x)]+c$
D
$\log [\sec x+\tan x]+c$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int [1+2 \tan^2 x + 2 \tan x \sec x]^{1/2} dx$.
Since $1 + \tan^2 x = \sec^2 x$,we can rewrite the expression inside the square root as:
$I = \int [\sec^2 x + \tan^2 x + 2 \sec x \tan x]^{1/2} dx$.
This is a perfect square:
$I = \int [(\sec x + \tan x)^2]^{1/2} dx = \int (\sec x + \tan x) dx$.
Integrating term by term:
$I = \int \sec x dx + \int \tan x dx$.
$I = \log |\sec x + \tan x| + \log |\sec x| + c$.
Using the property $\log a + \log b = \log(ab)$:
$I = \log |\sec x(\sec x + \tan x)| + c$.

$\int e^x \left( \frac{x-1}{x^2} \right) dx =$
A
$\frac{-e^x}{x^2} + c$
B
$\frac{-e^x}{x} + c$
C
$\frac{e^x}{x^2} + c$
D
$\frac{e^x}{x} + c$

Solution

(D) We know that the integral of the form $\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + c$.
Here,let $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$.
Then,$f'(x) = -\frac{1}{x^2}$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int e^x \left( \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} \right) dx = \int e^x \left( f(x) + f'(x) \right) dx$.
Using the formula,we get $I = e^x f(x) + c = \frac{e^x}{x} + c$.

$\int \frac{1}{\cos x+\sqrt{3} \sin x} dx =$
A
$\frac{1}{2} \log \left|\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\right|+c$
B
$\frac{1}{2} \log \left|\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\right|+c$
C
$2 \log \left|\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\right|+c$
D
$2 \log \left|\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\pi}{12}\right)\right|+c$

Solution

(A) To evaluate the integral $I = \int \frac{1}{\cos x+\sqrt{3} \sin x} dx$,we multiply and divide the denominator by $2$:
$I = \int \frac{1}{2(\frac{1}{2} \cos x + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin x)} dx$
Using the identity $\sin(A+B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B$,we can write $\frac{1}{2} \cos x + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin x = \sin(x + \frac{\pi}{6})$:
$I = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{1}{\sin(x + \frac{\pi}{6})} dx$
$I = \frac{1}{2} \int \csc(x + \frac{\pi}{6}) dx$
Using the standard integral formula $\int \csc \theta d\theta = \log |\tan(\frac{\theta}{2})| + C$:
$I = \frac{1}{2} \log |\tan(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{\pi}{12})| + C$

If $\int \frac{\sin x}{\sin (x-\alpha)} dx = Ax + B \log |\sin (x-\alpha)| + c$,then the values of $A$ and $B$ are respectively (where $c$ is a constant of integration).
A
$\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha$
B
$\sin \alpha, \cos \alpha$
C
$-\cos \alpha, \sin \alpha$
D
$-\sin \alpha, \cos \alpha$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{\sin x}{\sin (x-\alpha)} dx$.
We can rewrite the numerator as $\sin x = \sin ((x-\alpha) + \alpha)$.
Using the identity $\sin (A+B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B$,we get:
$\sin ((x-\alpha) + \alpha) = \sin (x-\alpha) \cos \alpha + \cos (x-\alpha) \sin \alpha$.
Substituting this into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{\sin (x-\alpha) \cos \alpha + \cos (x-\alpha) \sin \alpha}{\sin (x-\alpha)} dx$.
$I = \int \cos \alpha dx + \int \sin \alpha \frac{\cos (x-\alpha)}{\sin (x-\alpha)} dx$.
$I = \cos \alpha \int dx + \sin \alpha \int \cot (x-\alpha) dx$.
Integrating,we get $I = x \cos \alpha + \sin \alpha \log |\sin (x-\alpha)| + c$.
Comparing this with the given form $Ax + B \log |\sin (x-\alpha)| + c$,we find $A = \cos \alpha$ and $B = \sin \alpha$.

$\int \frac{x+\sin x}{1+\cos x} d x=$
A
$x \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+c$
B
$\log (x+\sin x)+c$
C
$\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+c$
D
$\log (1+\cos x)+c$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{x+\sin x}{1+\cos x} dx$.
Using the identities $1+\cos x = 2\cos^2 \frac{x}{2}$ and $\sin x = 2\sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}$,we get:
$I = \int \frac{x + 2\sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}}{2\cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} dx$
$I = \int \frac{x}{2\cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} dx + \int \frac{2\sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}}{2\cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} dx$
$I = \frac{1}{2} \int x \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} dx + \int \tan \frac{x}{2} dx$
Applying integration by parts to the first term $\int x \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} dx$ (taking $u=x$ and $dv=\sec^2 \frac{x}{2} dx$):
$\int x \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} dx = x(2\tan \frac{x}{2}) - \int 2\tan \frac{x}{2} dx = 2x\tan \frac{x}{2} - 2 \int \tan \frac{x}{2} dx$
Substituting this back into the expression for $I$:
$I = \frac{1}{2} [2x\tan \frac{x}{2} - 2 \int \tan \frac{x}{2} dx] + \int \tan \frac{x}{2} dx$
$I = x\tan \frac{x}{2} - \int \tan \frac{x}{2} dx + \int \tan \frac{x}{2} dx$
$I = x\tan \frac{x}{2} + c$.

If $\int \frac{1+x^2}{1+x^4} dx=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{f(x)}{\sqrt{2}}\right]+c$,then $f(x)=$
A
$x+\frac{1}{x^2}$
B
$x-\frac{1}{x^2}$
C
$x+\frac{2}{x}$
D
$x-\frac{1}{x}$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int \frac{1+x^2}{1+x^4} dx$.
Divide the numerator and denominator by $x^2$:
$I = \int \frac{\frac{1}{x^2} + 1}{\frac{1}{x^2} + x^2} dx = \int \frac{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}}{x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2}} dx$.
We can write the denominator as $(x - \frac{1}{x})^2 + 2$:
$I = \int \frac{1 + \frac{1}{x^2}}{(x - \frac{1}{x})^2 + 2} dx$.
Let $t = x - \frac{1}{x}$. Then $dt = (1 + \frac{1}{x^2}) dx$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{dt}{t^2 + 2} = \int \frac{dt}{t^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2}$.
Using the formula $\int \frac{dx}{x^2 + a^2} = \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a}) + c$:
$I = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan^{-1}(\frac{t}{\sqrt{2}}) + c$.
Substituting $t = x - \frac{1}{x}$ back:
$I = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{x - \frac{1}{x}}{\sqrt{2}}\right] + c$.
Comparing this with the given expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{f(x)}{\sqrt{2}}\right] + c$,we get $f(x) = x - \frac{1}{x}$.

$\int \frac{x^3}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} dx = a(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} + b \sqrt{1+x^2} + c$,(where $c$ is the constant of integration). Find the value of $a+b$.
A
$\frac{-2}{3}$
B
$\frac{-1}{3}$
C
$\frac{1}{3}$
D
$\frac{2}{3}$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{x^3}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} dx = \int \frac{x^2 \cdot x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} dx$.
Substitute $t = \sqrt{1+x^2}$,so $t^2 = 1+x^2$ and $x^2 = t^2 - 1$.
Differentiating,$2t dt = 2x dx$,which implies $x dx = t dt$.
Substituting these into the integral: $I = \int \frac{(t^2 - 1) t dt}{t} = \int (t^2 - 1) dt$.
Integrating,we get $I = \frac{t^3}{3} - t + c$.
Substituting back $t = \sqrt{1+x^2}$,we get $I = \frac{(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} - \sqrt{1+x^2} + c$.
Comparing this with the given expression $a(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} + b \sqrt{1+x^2} + c$,we find $a = \frac{1}{3}$ and $b = -1$.
Therefore,$a+b = \frac{1}{3} - 1 = \frac{-2}{3}$.

$\int e^{\tan x}(\sec^2 x + \sec^3 x \sin x) dx =$
A
$\tan x \cdot e^{\tan x} + c$
B
$(1 + \tan x) e^{\tan x} + c$
C
$\sec x \cdot e^{\tan x} + c$
D
$e^{\tan x + \tan x} + c$

Solution

(A) We have the integral $I = \int e^{\tan x}(\sec^2 x + \sec^3 x \sin x) dx$.
Since $\sec^3 x \sin x = \sec^2 x \cdot \sec x \sin x = \sec^2 x \tan x$,we can rewrite the integral as:
$I = \int e^{\tan x}(\sec^2 x + \sec^2 x \tan x) dx = \int e^{\tan x} \sec^2 x (1 + \tan x) dx$.
Let $u = \tan x$,then $du = \sec^2 x dx$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get:
$I = \int e^u (1 + u) du = \int (e^u + u e^u) du$.
Using the standard integral form $\int e^u (f(u) + f'(u)) du = e^u f(u) + c$,where $f(u) = u$ and $f'(u) = 1$:
$I = e^u \cdot u + c = e^{\tan x} \tan x + c$.

$2 \sqrt{x}-3 \sqrt[3]{x}+6 \sqrt[6]{x}-6 \log |\sqrt[6]{x}+1|+c$
C
$2 \sqrt{x}+3 \sqrt[3]{x}+6 \sqrt[6]{x}+6 \log |\sqrt[6]{x}+1|+c$
D
$\sqrt{x}+\sqrt[3]{x}+\sqrt[6]{x}+\log |\sqrt[6]{x}+1|+c$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int \frac{dx}{x^{\frac{1}{2}} + x^{\frac{1}{3}}}$.
Substitute $x^{\frac{1}{6}} = t$,then $x = t^6$ and $dx = 6t^5 \, dt$.
Also,$x^{\frac{1}{2}} = t^3$ and $x^{\frac{1}{3}} = t^2$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{6t^5 \, dt}{t^3 + t^2} = 6 \int \frac{t^5}{t^2(t+1)} \, dt = 6 \int \frac{t^3}{t+1} \, dt$.
Using polynomial division or algebraic manipulation:
$I = 6 \int \frac{(t^3 + 1) - 1}{t+1} \, dt = 6 \int \left( \frac{(t+1)(t^2 - t + 1)}{t+1} - \frac{1}{t+1} \right) \, dt$.
$I = 6 \int (t^2 - t + 1) \, dt - 6 \int \frac{1}{t+1} \, dt$.
$I = 6 \left( \frac{t^3}{3} - \frac{t^2}{2} + t \right) - 6 \log |t+1| + c$.
$I = 2t^3 - 3t^2 + 6t - 6 \log |t+1| + c$.
Substituting back $t = x^{\frac{1}{6}}$:
$I = 2 \sqrt{x} - 3 \sqrt[3]{x} + 6 \sqrt[6]{x} - 6 \log |\sqrt[6]{x} + 1| + c$.

A
$\sin(\log x) + c$
B
$\cos(\log x) + c$
C
$x \cos(\log x) + c$
D
$x \sin(\log x) + c$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int [\sin(\log x) + \cos(\log x)] dx$.
Substitute $\log x = t$,which implies $x = e^t$ and $dx = e^t dt$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get:
$I = \int (\sin t + \cos t) e^t dt$.
Using the standard integral formula $\int e^t [f(t) + f'(t)] dt = e^t f(t) + c$,where $f(t) = \sin t$ and $f'(t) = \cos t$.
Therefore,$I = e^t \sin t + c$.
Substituting back $t = \log x$,we get $I = x \sin(\log x) + c$.

$2 \tan ^{-1} x - \log |1+x^2| + c$
B
$x \tan ^{-1} x + \log |1+x^2| + c$
C
$\tan ^{-1} x + \log |1+x^2| + c$
D
$2 x \tan ^{-1} x - \log |1+x^2| + c$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right) d x$.
Substitute $x = \tan \theta$,then $dx = \sec ^2 \theta d \theta$.
Since $|x| < 1$,we have $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right) = \sin ^{-1}(\sin 2 \theta) = 2 \theta$.
Thus,$I = \int 2 \theta \sec ^2 \theta d \theta = 2 \int \theta \sec ^2 \theta d \theta$.
Using integration by parts,$\int u dv = uv - \int v du$,where $u = \theta$ and $dv = \sec ^2 \theta d \theta$:
$I = 2 [\theta \tan \theta - \int \tan \theta d \theta] = 2 [\theta \tan \theta - \log |\sec \theta|] + c$.
Since $\tan \theta = x$ and $\sec \theta = \sqrt{1+x^2}$,we have $\theta = \tan ^{-1} x$.
$I = 2 [x \tan ^{-1} x - \log |\sqrt{1+x^2}|] + c = 2 x \tan ^{-1} x - 2 \log (1+x^2)^{1/2} + c$.
$I = 2 x \tan ^{-1} x - \log |1+x^2| + c$.

B
$\frac{\sec^6 x}{6} + c$
C
$\frac{\sec^7 x}{7} + c$
D
$\frac{\sec^9 x}{9} + c$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{\sec^8 x}{\operatorname{cosec} x} \, dx$.
Since $\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} x} = \sin x$,we have:
$I = \int \sec^8 x \cdot \sin x \, dx$.
We can rewrite this as:
$I = \int \sec^7 x \cdot (\sec x \tan x) \, dx$.
Let $t = \sec x$,then $dt = \sec x \tan x \, dx$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int t^7 \, dt$.
Integrating with respect to $t$:
$I = \frac{t^8}{8} + c$.
Wait,let us re-evaluate the substitution:
$I = \int \sec^7 x (\sec x \tan x) \, dx = \frac{\sec^8 x}{8} + c$.
Upon re-checking the original expression $\int \frac{\sec^8 x}{\operatorname{cosec} x} \, dx = \int \sec^7 x \tan x \, dx$,the integral is $\frac{\sec^8 x}{8} + c$.

$\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\operatorname{cosec} x \cdot \cot x}{1+\operatorname{cosec}^2 x} d x=$
A
$\frac{\pi}{4}-\tan ^{-1} 2$
B
$\tan ^{-1} 1$
C
$\tan ^{-1} 2$
D
$\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\operatorname{cosec} x \cdot \cot x}{1+\operatorname{cosec}^2 x} d x$.
Substitute $t = \operatorname{cosec} x$,then $dt = -\operatorname{cosec} x \cot x \, dx$,which implies $\operatorname{cosec} x \cot x \, dx = -dt$.
When $x = \frac{\pi}{6}$,$t = \operatorname{cosec}(\frac{\pi}{6}) = 2$.
When $x = \frac{\pi}{2}$,$t = \operatorname{cosec}(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 1$.
Thus,$I = \int_{2}^{1} \frac{-dt}{1+t^2} = \int_{1}^{2} \frac{dt}{1+t^2}$.
Evaluating the integral,we get $I = [\tan^{-1} t]_{1}^{2} = \tan^{-1}(2) - \tan^{-1}(1)$.
Using the formula $\tan^{-1} x - \tan^{-1} y = \tan^{-1}(\frac{x-y}{1+xy})$,we have $I = \tan^{-1}(\frac{2-1}{1+2 \cdot 1}) = \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})$.

B
$[\tan \sqrt{x}]^5+c$
C
$\frac{2}{5}[\tan \sqrt{x}]^5+c$
D
$\frac{5}{2}[\tan \sqrt{x}]^5+c$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{\tan ^4 \sqrt{x} \cdot \sec ^2 \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}} d x$.
Substitute $\sqrt{x} = t$,then $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} dx = dt$,which implies $\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}} = 2 dt$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get $I = 2 \int \tan ^4 t \cdot \sec ^2 t dt$.
Now,let $u = \tan t$,then $du = \sec ^2 t dt$.
Substituting $u$ into the integral,we get $I = 2 \int u^4 du$.
Integrating $u^4$ with respect to $u$,we get $I = 2 \cdot \frac{u^5}{5} + c = \frac{2}{5} u^5 + c$.
Substituting back $u = \tan t$ and $t = \sqrt{x}$,we get $I = \frac{2}{5} \tan ^5 \sqrt{x} + c$.

$\frac{-\cos ^4 x}{4}+c$
B
$\frac{-\sin ^4 x}{4}+c$
C
$\frac{\cos ^4 x}{4}+c$
D
$\frac{\sin ^4 x}{4}+c$

Solution

(A) Given the integral $I = \int \cos ^3 x \cdot e^{\log (\sin x)} d x$.
Since $e^{\log (f(x))} = f(x)$,the integral simplifies to:
$I = \int \cos ^3 x \cdot \sin x d x$.
Let $u = \cos x$.
Then $du = -\sin x d x$,which implies $\sin x d x = -du$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int u^3 (-du) = -\int u^3 du$.
Integrating $u^3$ gives $\frac{u^4}{4}$.
Thus,$I = -\frac{u^4}{4} + c$.
Substituting back $u = \cos x$,we get:
$I = -\frac{\cos ^4 x}{4} + c$.

If $\int \frac{(\cos x-\sin x)}{8-\sin 2 x} d x=\frac{1}{p} \log \left[\frac{3+\sin x+\cos x}{3-\sin x-\cos x}\right]+c$,then $p=$ (Where $c$ is a constant of integration)
A
$12$
B
$\frac{1}{6}$
C
$6$
D
$3$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{8 - \sin 2x} dx$.
We know that $\sin 2x = 1 - (1 - \sin 2x) = 1 - (\sin x - \cos x)^2$. However,it is easier to write $8 - \sin 2x = 9 - (1 + \sin 2x) = 9 - (\sin x + \cos x)^2$.
So,$I = \int \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{3^2 - (\sin x + \cos x)^2} dx$.
Let $t = \sin x + \cos x$. Then $dt = (\cos x - \sin x) dx$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get $I = \int \frac{dt}{3^2 - t^2}$.
Using the standard formula $\int \frac{dx}{a^2 - x^2} = \frac{1}{2a} \log \left| \frac{a+x}{a-x} \right| + c$,we have:
$I = \frac{1}{2(3)} \log \left| \frac{3+t}{3-t} \right| + c = \frac{1}{6} \log \left| \frac{3 + \sin x + \cos x}{3 - (\sin x + \cos x)} \right| + c$.
Comparing this with the given expression $\frac{1}{p} \log \left[ \frac{3 + \sin x + \cos x}{3 - \sin x - \cos x} \right] + c$,we find $p = 6$.

A
$\frac{3 \pi}{20}-\frac{\log 3}{100}$
B
$\frac{3 \pi}{10}-\frac{\log 3}{10}$
C
$\frac{3 \pi}{20}+\frac{\log 3}{10}$
D
$\frac{3 \pi}{20}-\frac{\log 3}{10}$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos x}{3 \cos x + \sin x} dx$.
We express the numerator as: $\cos x = A(3 \cos x + \sin x) + B \frac{d}{dx}(3 \cos x + \sin x)$.
$\cos x = A(3 \cos x + \sin x) + B(-3 \sin x + \cos x)$.
Comparing coefficients of $\cos x$ and $\sin x$:
$3A + B = 1$ and $A - 3B = 0$.
From the second equation,$A = 3B$. Substituting into the first: $3(3B) + B = 1 \implies 10B = 1 \implies B = \frac{1}{10}$.
Then $A = 3(\frac{1}{10}) = \frac{3}{10}$.
Now,$I = \int_0^{\pi / 2} \left( \frac{3}{10} \frac{3 \cos x + \sin x}{3 \cos x + \sin x} + \frac{1}{10} \frac{-3 \sin x + \cos x}{3 \cos x + \sin x} \right) dx$.
$I = \frac{3}{10} \int_0^{\pi / 2} dx + \frac{1}{10} \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{d(3 \cos x + \sin x)}{3 \cos x + \sin x}$.
$I = \frac{3}{10} [x]_0^{\pi / 2} + \frac{1}{10} [\log |3 \cos x + \sin x|]_0^{\pi / 2}$.
$I = \frac{3}{10} (\frac{\pi}{2} - 0) + \frac{1}{10} (\log |3(0) + 1| - \log |3(1) + 0|)$.
$I = \frac{3 \pi}{20} + \frac{1}{10} (\log 1 - \log 3) = \frac{3 \pi}{20} - \frac{\log 3}{10}$.

C
$2 \sqrt{10^{-x}+10^x}+c$
D
$\frac{1}{\log 10} \cos ^{-1}\left(10^x\right)+c$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int \frac{10^{\frac{x}{2}}}{\sqrt{10^{-x}-10^x}} dx$
We can rewrite the denominator as:
$\sqrt{10^{-x}-10^x} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10^x} - 10^x} = \sqrt{\frac{1-(10^x)^2}{10^x}} = \frac{\sqrt{1-(10^x)^2}}{10^{\frac{x}{2}}}$
Substituting this into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{10^{\frac{x}{2}}}{\frac{\sqrt{1-(10^x)^2}}{10^{\frac{x}{2}}}} dx = \int \frac{10^x}{\sqrt{1-(10^x)^2}} dx$
Let $t = 10^x$. Then $dt = 10^x (\log 10) dx$,which implies $10^x dx = \frac{dt}{\log 10}$.
Substituting $t$ into the integral:
$I = \frac{1}{\log 10} \int \frac{dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}} = \frac{1}{\log 10} \sin^{-1}(t) + c$
Replacing $t$ with $10^x$:
$I = \frac{1}{\log 10} \sin^{-1}(10^x) + c$

B

Solution

(C) We are given the integral $I = \int e^{(e^{x}+x)} dx$.
Using the property of exponents $e^{a+b} = e^{a} \cdot e^{b}$,we can rewrite the integral as:
$I = \int e^{e^{x}} \cdot e^{x} dx$.
Now,let us use the method of substitution.
Let $t = e^{x}$.
Then,differentiating both sides with respect to $x$,we get $dt = e^{x} dx$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get:
$I = \int e^{t} dt$.
The integral of $e^{t}$ with respect to $t$ is $e^{t} + c$.
Substituting $t = e^{x}$ back into the result,we get:
$I = e^{(e^{x})} + c$.

D
$\frac{1}{2} \log \left|\frac{1-\tan x}{1+\tan x}\right|+c$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{d x}{\cos x \sqrt{\cos 2 x}}$.
Divide the numerator and denominator by $\cos x$ inside the square root,or rewrite the expression:
$I = \int \frac{d x}{\cos x \sqrt{\cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}} = \int \frac{d x}{\cos x \cdot \cos x \sqrt{1 - \tan^2 x}} = \int \frac{\sec^2 x}{\sqrt{1 - \tan^2 x}} d x$.
Substitute $t = \tan x$,then $dt = \sec^2 x d x$.
Thus,$I = \int \frac{dt}{\sqrt{1 - t^2}} = \sin^{-1}(t) + c$.
Substituting back $t = \tan x$,we get $I = \sin^{-1}(\tan x) + c$.

$k=1, m=x$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int \frac{\sqrt{x}}{x(x+1)} dx$.
Substitute $x = t^2$,so $dx = 2t dt$.
Then $I = \int \frac{t}{t^2(t^2+1)} (2t dt) = \int \frac{2t^2}{t^2(t^2+1)} dt$.
$I = \int \frac{2}{t^2+1} dt = 2 \tan^{-1}(t) + c$.
Since $t = \sqrt{x}$,we have $I = 2 \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x}) + c$.
Comparing this with $k \tan^{-1} m + c$,we get $k=2$ and $m=\sqrt{x}$.

C

D

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int \frac{dx}{e^x+e^{-x}+2}$.
We can rewrite the denominator as:
$e^x + \frac{1}{e^x} + 2 = \frac{e^{2x} + 1 + 2e^x}{e^x} = \frac{(e^x+1)^2}{e^x}$.
Therefore,the integral becomes:
$I = \int \frac{e^x}{(e^x+1)^2} dx$.
Let $u = e^x + 1$. Then $du = e^x dx$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{du}{u^2} = \int u^{-2} du$.
Integrating with respect to $u$:
$I = \frac{u^{-1}}{-1} + c = -\frac{1}{u} + c$.
Substituting back $u = e^x + 1$:

Solution

(B) Given integral is $I = \int \cos ^3 x e^{\log (\sin x)^2} dx$.
Using the property $e^{\log f(x)} = f(x)$,we have $e^{\log (\sin x)^2} = (\sin x)^2$.
So,$I = \int \cos ^3 x \sin ^2 x dx$.
We can write this as $I = \int \cos ^2 x \sin ^2 x \cos x dx$.
Since $\cos ^2 x = 1 - \sin ^2 x$,we get $I = \int (1 - \sin ^2 x) \sin ^2 x \cos x dx$.
Let $\sin x = t$,then $\cos x dx = dt$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get $I = \int (1 - t^2) t^2 dt = \int (t^2 - t^4) dt$.
Integrating with respect to $t$,we get $I = \frac{t^3}{3} - \frac{t^5}{5} + c$.
Substituting $t = \sin x$ back,we get $I = \frac{\sin ^3 x}{3} - \frac{\sin ^5 x}{5} + c$.

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \operatorname{cosec}(x-a) \operatorname{cosec} x \, dx = \int \frac{dx}{\sin(x-a) \sin x}$.
Multiply and divide by $\sin a$:
$I = \frac{1}{\sin a} \int \frac{\sin a}{\sin(x-a) \sin x} \, dx$.
Since $a = x - (x-a)$,we have:
$I = \frac{1}{\sin a} \int \frac{\sin(x - (x-a))}{\sin(x-a) \sin x} \, dx$.
Using $\sin(A-B) = \sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B$:
$I = \frac{1}{\sin a} \int \frac{\sin x \cos(x-a) - \cos x \sin(x-a)}{\sin(x-a) \sin x} \, dx$.
$I = \frac{1}{\sin a} \left( \int \frac{\cos(x-a)}{\sin(x-a)} \, dx - \int \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} \, dx \right)$.
$I = \frac{1}{\sin a} (\log |\sin(x-a)| - \log |\sin x|) + c$.

C
$x \cos^{-1} x - \sqrt{1+x^2} + c$
D
$x \cos^{-1} x - \sqrt{1-x^2} + c$

Solution

(D) To evaluate the integral $I = \int \cos^{-1} x \, dx$,we use the method of integration by parts: $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$.
Let $u = \cos^{-1} x$ and $dv = dx$.
Then $du = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$ and $v = x$.
Applying the formula: $I = x \cos^{-1} x - \int x \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \right) \, dx$.
$I = x \cos^{-1} x + \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$.
To solve $\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$,let $t = 1-x^2$,so $dt = -2x \, dx$ or $x \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} \, dt$.
The integral becomes $\int \frac{-1/2}{\sqrt{t}} \, dt = -\frac{1}{2} \int t^{-1/2} \, dt = -\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{t^{1/2}}{1/2} \right) = -\sqrt{t} = -\sqrt{1-x^2}$.
Therefore,$I = x \cos^{-1} x - \sqrt{1-x^2} + c$.

D
$x \sec ^{-1} x + \log \left| x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \right| + c$

Solution

(B) To evaluate the integral $I = \int \sec^{-1} x \, dx$,we use the method of integration by parts: $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$.
Let $u = \sec^{-1} x$ and $dv = dx$.
Then $du = \frac{1}{|x| \sqrt{x^2 - 1}} \, dx$ and $v = x$.
Applying the formula:
$I = x \sec^{-1} x - \int x \cdot \frac{1}{|x| \sqrt{x^2 - 1}} \, dx$.
Assuming $x > 1$,we have $|x| = x$,so:
$I = x \sec^{-1} x - \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - 1}} \, dx$.
Using the standard integral formula $\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 - a^2}} \, dx = \log \left| x + \sqrt{x^2 - a^2} \right| + C$,we get:

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{2 x^2-1}{x^4-x^2-20} d x$.
Substitute $x^2 = t$,then the integrand becomes $\frac{2 t-1}{t^2-t-20} = \frac{2 t-1}{(t-5)(t+4)}$.
Using partial fractions,let $\frac{2 t-1}{(t-5)(t+4)} = \frac{A}{t-5} + \frac{B}{t+4}$.
Then $2t-1 = A(t+4) + B(t-5)$.
For $t=5$,$9 = 9A \implies A=1$.
For $t=-4$,$-9 = -9B \implies B=1$.
Thus,$I = \int \left( \frac{1}{x^2-5} + \frac{1}{x^2+4} \right) d x$.
Using the standard integrals $\int \frac{1}{x^2-a^2} d x = \frac{1}{2a} \log \left| \frac{x-a}{x+a} \right| + c$ and $\int \frac{1}{x^2+a^2} d x = \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{a} \right) + c$,we get:
$I = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{5}} \log \left| \frac{x-\sqrt{5}}{x+\sqrt{5}} \right| + \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{2} \right) + c$.

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int \sec ^4 x \tan ^4 x \, dx$.
We can rewrite the integral as $I = \int \sec ^2 x \cdot \sec ^2 x \cdot \tan ^4 x \, dx$.
Using the identity $\sec ^2 x = 1 + \tan ^2 x$,we get $I = \int (1 + \tan ^2 x) \tan ^4 x \cdot \sec ^2 x \, dx$.
Let $\tan x = t$,then $\sec ^2 x \, dx = dt$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get $I = \int (1 + t^2) t^4 \, dt = \int (t^4 + t^6) \, dt$.
Integrating with respect to $t$,we obtain $I = \frac{t^5}{5} + \frac{t^7}{7} + c$.
Substituting back $t = \tan x$,we have $I = \frac{\tan ^5 x}{5} + \frac{\tan ^7 x}{7} + c$.
Comparing this with the given form $\frac{\tan ^m x}{m} + \frac{\tan ^n x}{n} + c$,we get $m = 5$ and $n = 7$ (or vice versa).
Therefore,$m + n = 5 + 7 = 12$.

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int \frac{5 \tan x}{\tan x-2} d x$.
Expressing in terms of $\sin x$ and $\cos x$:
$I = \int \frac{5 \sin x}{\sin x-2 \cos x} d x$.
Let the numerator be $5 \sin x = A(\sin x - 2 \cos x) + B \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x - 2 \cos x)$.
$5 \sin x = A(\sin x - 2 \cos x) + B(\cos x + 2 \sin x)$.
$5 \sin x = (A + 2B) \sin x + (B - 2A) \cos x$.
Comparing coefficients:
$A + 2B = 5$ and $B - 2A = 0 \implies B = 2A$.
Substituting $B = 2A$ into the first equation: $A + 2(2A) = 5 \implies 5A = 5 \implies A = 1$.
Thus,$B = 2(1) = 2$.
So,$5 \sin x = 1(\sin x - 2 \cos x) + 2(\cos x + 2 \sin x)$.
$I = \int \frac{1(\sin x - 2 \cos x) + 2(\cos x + 2 \sin x)}{\sin x - 2 \cos x} d x$.
$I = \int 1 d x + 2 \int \frac{\cos x + 2 \sin x}{\sin x - 2 \cos x} d x$.
$I = x + 2 \log |\sin x - 2 \cos x| + c$.
Comparing this with the given expression $x + a \log |\sin x - 2 \cos x| + c$,we get $a = 2$.

(A) We know that $\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + c$.
Given integral is $I = \int e^x \left( \frac{1+\sin x}{1+\cos x} \right) dx$.
Using trigonometric identities $1+\cos x = 2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}$ and $\sin x = 2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}$:
$I = \int e^x \left( \frac{1 + 2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}}{2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} \right) dx$
$I = \int e^x \left( \frac{1}{2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} + \frac{2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}}{2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} \right) dx$
$I = \int e^x \left( \frac{1}{2} \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} + \tan \frac{x}{2} \right) dx$
Let $f(x) = \tan \frac{x}{2}$. Then $f'(x) = \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \sec^2 \frac{x}{2}$.
Since the integral is in the form $\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx$,the result is $e^x f(x) + c$.
Therefore,$I = e^x \tan \frac{x}{2} + c$.

(B) Let $\alpha = \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)$ and $\beta = \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)$.
Then $\cos \alpha = \frac{4}{5}$ and $\cos \beta = \frac{12}{13}$.
Using the identity $\sin \theta = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \theta}$,we get $\sin \alpha = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2} = \frac{3}{5}$ and $\sin \beta = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^2} = \frac{5}{13}$.
Using the formula $\cos(\alpha + \beta) = \cos \alpha \cos \beta - \sin \alpha \sin \beta$:
$\cos(\alpha + \beta) = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\left(\frac{12}{13}\right) - \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)$
$= \frac{48}{65} - \frac{15}{65} = \frac{33}{65}$.
Therefore,$\alpha + \beta = \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{33}{65}\right)$.

$\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
D
$\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Solution

(C) Given the equation: $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right)+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x+1}{x+2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{4}$
Using the formula $\tan ^{-1} A + \tan ^{-1} B = \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{A+B}{1-AB} \right)$:
$\tan ^{-1} \left[ \frac{\frac{x-1}{x-2} + \frac{x+1}{x+2}}{1 - \left( \frac{x-1}{x-2} \right) \left( \frac{x+1}{x+2} \right)} \right] = \frac{\pi}{4}$
Taking $\tan$ on both sides:
$\frac{(x-1)(x+2) + (x+1)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2) - (x-1)(x+1)} = \tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1$
Expanding the terms:
$\frac{(x^2+x-2) + (x^2-x-2)}{(x^2-4) - (x^2-1)} = 1$
$\frac{2x^2 - 4}{-4 + 1} = 1$
$\frac{2x^2 - 4}{-3} = 1$
$2x^2 - 4 = -3$
$2x^2 = 1$
$x^2 = \frac{1}{2}$
$x = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

If $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)+\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)=\sin ^{-1} \alpha$,then $\alpha=$
A
$\frac{56}{65}$
B
$\frac{61}{65}$
C
$\frac{63}{65}$
D
$\frac{62}{65}$

Solution

(A) Let $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) = x$ and $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13}\right) = y$.
Then $\sin x = \frac{3}{5} \implies \cos x = \sqrt{1 - (\frac{3}{5})^2} = \frac{4}{5}$.
And $\cos y = \frac{12}{13} \implies \sin y = \sqrt{1 - (\frac{12}{13})^2} = \frac{5}{13}$.
We are given $x + y = \sin ^{-1} \alpha$,which means $\sin(x + y) = \alpha$.
Using the identity $\sin(x + y) = \sin x \cos y + \cos x \sin y$:
$\alpha = (\frac{3}{5}) \times (\frac{12}{13}) + (\frac{4}{5}) \times (\frac{5}{13})$
$\alpha = \frac{36}{65} + \frac{20}{65} = \frac{56}{65}$.

$\tan ^{-1}\left(\tan \frac{5 \pi}{6}\right)+\cos ^{-1}\left(\cos \frac{13 \pi}{6}\right) = $
A
$0$
B
$3 \pi$
C
$-\frac{\pi}{6}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{6}$

Solution

(A) We know that the principal value branch of $\tan^{-1} x$ is $(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2})$ and for $\cos^{-1} x$ is $[0, \pi]$.
First,evaluate $\tan^{-1}(\tan \frac{5\pi}{6})$:
$\tan^{-1}(\tan(\pi - \frac{\pi}{6})) = \tan^{-1}(-\tan \frac{\pi}{6}) = \tan^{-1}(\tan(-\frac{\pi}{6})) = -\frac{\pi}{6}$.
Next,evaluate $\cos^{-1}(\cos \frac{13\pi}{6})$:
$\cos^{-1}(\cos(2\pi + \frac{\pi}{6})) = \cos^{-1}(\cos \frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{\pi}{6}$.
Adding these results:
$-\frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{6} = 0$.

A
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
B
$\frac{-\pi}{6}$
C
$\frac{-\pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{-\pi}{2}$

Solution

(D) We know that the range of the principal value branch of $\sin ^{-1} x$ is $[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$.
First,evaluate $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)$:
Since $\sin(\frac{-\pi}{6}) = \frac{-1}{2}$,we have $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right) = \frac{-\pi}{6}$.
Next,evaluate $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$:
Since $\sin(\frac{-\pi}{3}) = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}$,we have $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{-\pi}{3}$.
Adding these values together:
$\frac{-\pi}{6} + (\frac{-\pi}{3}) = \frac{-\pi - 2\pi}{6} = \frac{-3\pi}{6} = \frac{-\pi}{2}$.

If $4 \sin ^{-1} x + 6 \cos ^{-1} x = 3 \pi$,where $-1 \leq x \leq 1$,then $x =$
A
$1/2$
B
$1/\sqrt{2}$
C
$-1/2$
D
$0$

Solution

(D) Given the equation: $4 \sin ^{-1} x + 6 \cos ^{-1} x = 3 \pi$
We know the identity: $\sin ^{-1} x + \cos ^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}$
Rewrite the equation as: $4(\sin ^{-1} x + \cos ^{-1} x) + 2 \cos ^{-1} x = 3 \pi$
Substitute the identity: $4(\frac{\pi}{2}) + 2 \cos ^{-1} x = 3 \pi$
Simplify: $2 \pi + 2 \cos ^{-1} x = 3 \pi$
Subtract $2 \pi$ from both sides: $2 \cos ^{-1} x = \pi$
Divide by $2$: $\cos ^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}$
Taking cosine on both sides: $x = \cos(\frac{\pi}{2})$
Therefore: $x = 0$

Evaluate: $\sin ^{-1}\left[\sin \left(-600^{\circ}\right)\right]+\cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})$
A
$\frac{\pi}{6}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{7 \pi}{6}$

Solution

(D) We need to evaluate $\sin ^{-1}[\sin (-600^{\circ})] + \cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})$.
First,simplify $\sin (-600^{\circ})$:
$\sin (-600^{\circ}) = -\sin (600^{\circ}) = -\sin (360^{\circ} + 240^{\circ}) = -\sin (240^{\circ}) = -\sin (180^{\circ} + 60^{\circ}) = -(-\sin 60^{\circ}) = \sin 60^{\circ}$.
Thus,$\sin ^{-1}[\sin (-600^{\circ})] = \sin ^{-1}(\sin 60^{\circ}) = 60^{\circ} = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
Next,evaluate $\cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})$:
Since $\cot ^{-1}(-x) = \pi - \cot ^{-1}(x)$,we have $\cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3}) = \pi - \cot ^{-1}(\sqrt{3}) = \pi - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{5\pi}{6}$.
Adding the two results:
$\frac{\pi}{3} + \frac{5\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi + 5\pi}{6} = \frac{7\pi}{6}$.

If $2 \tan^{-1}(\cos x) = \tan^{-1}(2 \operatorname{cosec} x)$,then the value of $x$ is
A
$\frac{\pi}{6}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{12}$

Solution

(B) Given the equation: $2 \tan^{-1}(\cos x) = \tan^{-1}(2 \operatorname{cosec} x)$.
Using the formula $2 \tan^{-1}(\theta) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2\theta}{1-\theta^2}\right)$,we get:
$\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \cos x}{1-\cos^2 x}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sin x}\right)$.
Since $\tan^{-1}$ is a one-to-one function,we equate the arguments:
$\frac{2 \cos x}{\sin^2 x} = \frac{2}{\sin x}$.
Assuming $\sin x \neq 0$,we can divide both sides by $\frac{2}{\sin x}$:
$\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} = 1$,which implies $\cot x = 1$.
Therefore,$x = \frac{\pi}{4}$.

$\int_1^3 \left[ \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{x^2-1} \right) + \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x^2-1}{x} \right) \right] dx =$
A
$\pi$
B
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
$2\pi$

Solution

(A) We know that $\tan^{-1}(u) + \cot^{-1}(u) = \frac{\pi}{2}$ for all $u \in \mathbb{R}$.
Given the integral $I = \int_1^3 \left[ \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{x^2-1} \right) + \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x^2-1}{x} \right) \right] dx$.
Since $\tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x^2-1}{x} \right) = \cot^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{x^2-1} \right)$,the expression becomes $\tan^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{x^2-1} \right) + \cot^{-1} \left( \frac{x}{x^2-1} \right)$.
Thus,the integrand simplifies to $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Therefore,$I = \int_1^3 \frac{\pi}{2} dx = \frac{\pi}{2} [x]_1^3 = \frac{\pi}{2} (3-1) = \frac{\pi}{2} \times 2 = \pi$.

$\tan \left(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right) = $
A
$\frac{17}{6}$
B
$\frac{17}{3}$
C
$\frac{18}{5}$
D
$\frac{7}{15}$

Solution

(A) Let $\theta_1 = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)$. Then $\cos \theta_1 = \frac{4}{5}$.
Using the identity $\tan \theta_1 = \frac{\sqrt{1-\cos^2 \theta_1}}{\cos \theta_1} = \frac{\sqrt{1-(16/25)}}{4/5} = \frac{3/5}{4/5} = \frac{3}{4}$.
So,$\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$.
Now,the expression becomes $\tan \left(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right)$.
Using the formula $\tan^{-1} x + \tan^{-1} y = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{x+y}{1-xy}\right)$:
$= \tan \left(\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{\frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{3}}{1 - \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}}\right)\right)$.
$= \tan \left(\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{\frac{9+8}{12}}{1 - \frac{6}{12}}\right)\right) = \tan \left(\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{17/12}{6/12}\right)\right) = \tan \left(\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{17}{6}\right)\right) = \frac{17}{6}$.

If $\tan ^{-1}(2 x)+\tan ^{-1}(3 x)=\frac{\pi}{4}$,where $x>0$,then $x=$
A
$1$
B
$\frac{1}{6}$
C
$\frac{1}{3}$
D
$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(B) Given the equation: $\tan ^{-1}(2 x)+\tan ^{-1}(3 x)=\frac{\pi}{4}$
Using the identity $\tan ^{-1}(A)+\tan ^{-1}(B)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{A+B}{1-AB}\right)$,we get:
$\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x+3 x}{1-(2 x)(3 x)}\right)=\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{5 x}{1-6 x^2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{4}$
Taking $\tan$ on both sides:
$\frac{5 x}{1-6 x^2}=\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=1$
$5 x = 1 - 6 x^2$
$6 x^2 + 5 x - 1 = 0$
Factoring the quadratic equation:
$(6 x - 1)(x + 1) = 0$
This gives $x = \frac{1}{6}$ or $x = -1$.
Since the problem states $x > 0$,we discard $x = -1$.
Therefore,$x = \frac{1}{6}$.

The value of $\tan ^{-1} 2 + \tan ^{-1} 3$ is
A
$\left(\frac{3 \pi}{4}\right)^c$
B
$\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^c$
C
$\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)^c$
D
$\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^c$

Solution

(A) We use the formula $\tan ^{-1} x + \tan ^{-1} y = \pi + \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{x+y}{1-xy} \right)$ when $xy > 1$.
Here,$x = 2$ and $y = 3$,so $xy = 6 > 1$.
Therefore,$\tan ^{-1} 2 + \tan ^{-1} 3 = \pi + \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{2+3}{1-(2)(3)} \right)$.
$= \pi + \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{5}{1-6} \right) = \pi + \tan ^{-1} (-1)$.
$= \pi - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3 \pi}{4}$.
Thus,the value is $\left( \frac{3 \pi}{4} \right)^c$.

D
$x, y \geq 0 ; x-y \geq 0 ; x \geq 5 ; y \leq 3$

Solution

(A) $1$. The shaded region is bounded by the lines $x=0$ ($Y$-axis),$y=0$ ($X$-axis),$x=5$,$y=3$,and the line passing through $(0,0)$ and $(3,3)$.
$2$. The line passing through $(0,0)$ and $(3,3)$ has the equation $y=x$,which can be written as $x-y=0$. Since the shaded region lies below this line,the constraint is $x-y \geq 0$.
$3$. The vertical line $x=5$ bounds the region on the right,so $x \leq 5$.
$4$. The horizontal line $y=3$ bounds the region on the top,so $y \leq 3$.
$5$. Since the region is in the first quadrant,$x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$.
$6$. Combining these,the constraints are $x, y \geq 0, x-y \geq 0, x \leq 5, y \leq 3$.

The objective function $z = 4x + 5y$ subject to the constraints $2x + y \geq 7$,$2x + 3y \leq 15$,$y \leq 3$,$x \geq 0$,and $y \geq 0$ has a minimum value at which point?
A
on the line $2x + 3y = 15$
B

C

D
at the origin

Solution

(B) The constraints are $2x + y \geq 7$,$2x + 3y \leq 15$,$y \leq 3$,$x \geq 0$,and $y \geq 0$.
From the graph,the vertices of the feasible region are $A(3.5, 0)$,$B(7.5, 0)$,$C(3, 3)$,and $D(2, 3)$.
We evaluate the objective function $z = 4x + 5y$ at these vertices:
$z(A) = 4(3.5) + 5(0) = 14 + 0 = 14$
$z(B) = 4(7.5) + 5(0) = 30 + 0 = 30$
$z(C) = 4(3) + 5(3) = 12 + 15 = 27$
$z(D) = 4(2) + 5(3) = 8 + 15 = 23$
The minimum value is $14$,which occurs at point $A(3.5, 0)$. Since point $A$ lies on the $X$-axis,the minimum value occurs on the $X$-axis.

The vertices of the feasible region are:
$O(0, 0)$,$A(3, 0)$,$B(3, 2)$,$C(2, 3)$,and $D(0, 3)$.
We evaluate the objective function $Z = 10x + 25y$ at each vertex:
Vertex$Z = 10x + 25y$
$O(0, 0)$$10(0) + 25(0) = 0$
$A(3, 0)$$10(3) + 25(0) = 30$
$B(3, 2)$$10(3) + 25(2) = 30 + 50 = 80$
$C(2, 3)$$10(2) + 25(3) = 20 + 75 = 95$
$D(0, 3)$$10(0) + 25(3) = 75$

Comparing the values,the maximum value of $Z$ is $95$,which occurs at the point $(2, 3)$.
