$\int \sqrt{\tan x}+\sqrt{\cot x} dx$ is equal to : |
$\sqrt{2} \sin ^{-1}(\sin x+\cos x)+c$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin ^{-1}(\sin x-\cos x)+c$ $\sqrt{2} \sin ^{-1}(\sin x-\cos x)+c$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin ^{-1}(\sin x+\cos x)+c$ |
$\sqrt{2} \sin ^{-1}(\sin x-\cos x)+c$ |
Let $I=\int \sqrt{\tan x}+\sqrt{\cot x} dx$ $=\sqrt{2} \int \frac{\sin x+\cos x}{\sqrt{2 \sin x . \cos x}} dx$ $=\sqrt{2} \int \frac{(\sin x+\cos x)}{\sqrt{\sin 2 x}} dx$ Let t = sin x – cos x $\Rightarrow t^2=1-\sin 2 x$ $\Rightarrow dt=(\cos x+\sin x) dx$ ∴ $I=\sqrt{2} \int \frac{d t}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}=\sqrt{2} \sin ^{-1}(t)+c$ $I=\sqrt{2} \sin ^{-1}(\sin x-\cos x)+c$ Hence (3) is the correct answer. |
