\(\int\displaystyle\frac{\sin 2x}{4\sin^2x+9\cos^2x}\,dx\) is equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(\displaystyle -\frac{1}{5}\log\left(4\sin^2x+9\cos^2x\right)+C\)
Let \(t = 4\sin^2x+9\cos^2x\). Its derivative is a multiple of the numerator:
\( \displaystyle \frac{dt}{dx} = 8\sin x\cos x-18\sin x\cos x \)
\( = -10\sin x\cos x = -5\sin 2x \)
So \(\sin 2x\,dx = -\frac{1}{5}\,dt\), and
\( \displaystyle \int\frac{\sin 2x}{4\sin^2x+9\cos^2x}\,dx = -\frac{1}{5}\int\frac{dt}{t} \)
\( \displaystyle = -\frac{1}{5}\log\left(4\sin^2x+9\cos^2x\right)+C \)
No modulus is needed because \(4\sin^2x+9\cos^2x \gt 0\) for every x.
