Question:

Find $\int e^x (1 - \cot x + \text{cosec}^2 x) dx$.

Options:

$e^x (\cot x - 1) + C$

$e^x (1 - \cot x) + C$

$e^x (1 + \text{cosec}^2 x) + C$

$e^x (1 + \cot x) + C$

Correct Answer:

$e^x (1 - \cot x) + C$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $e^x (1 - \cot x) + C$

Let $I=\int e^x (1 - \cot x + \text{cosec}^2 x) dx$

Assume, $f(x) = 1 - \cot x$,

$f'(x) = \text{cosec}^2 x$.

Using the property $\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + C$:

$I = e^x (1 - \cot x) + C$
