f(x)=∫ (d x)/( ^6 x) is a polynomial of degree
is a polynomial of degree
Options
- A5 in
- B5 in
- C3 in
- D3 in
Correct answer
A. 5 in
Step-by-step solution
Let
f(x)=\int \operatorname{cosec}^6 x d x
From reduction formula, we have
\begin{gathered}
\therefore f(x)=-\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^4 x \cot x}{5}+\frac{4}{5}\left[\frac{-\operatorname{cosec}^2 x \cot x}{3}+\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{I}_{2}\right] \\
=-\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^4 x \cot x}{5}-\frac{4}{15} \operatorname{cosec}^2 x \cdot \cotx+\frac{8}{15}[-\cotx] \\
=\frac{-\left(1+\cot ^2 x\right)^2 \cdot \cot x}{5}-\frac{4}{15}\left(1+\cot ^2 x\right) \cot x \\
=\frac{-1}{5}\left[1+\cot ^4 x+2 \cot ^2 x\right] \cot x-\frac{4}{15}[-\cotx)\left(\because \operatorname{cosec}^2 x=1+\cot ^2 x\right) \\
=\frac{-1}{5}\left[\cotx+\cot ^3 x\right] \\
\frac{-4}{15} \cot ^3 x-\frac{4}{15} \cot ^3 x-\frac{8}{15} \cotx \\
\cot x]
\end{gathered}
It is a polynomialdegree 5 in \cot x$.
