Passage: Let ∫( θ\,dθ)/((2+ θ)(3+4 θ))=A |2+ θ|+B |3+4 θ| ....

Passage: Let ∫sin⁡θ dθ(2+cos⁡θ)(3+4cos⁡θ)=Aln⁡∣2+cos⁡θ∣+Bln⁡∣3+4cos⁡θ∣\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\sin\theta\,d\theta}{(2+\cos\theta)(3+4\cos\theta)}=A\ln|2+\cos\theta|+B\ln|3+4\cos\theta|.

Question: What is the value of AA ?

Options

  1. A−25-\dfrac{2}{5}
  2. B−15-\dfrac{1}{5}
  3. C15\dfrac{1}{5}
  4. D25\dfrac{2}{5}

Correct answer

C. 15\dfrac{1}{5}

Step-by-step solution

Let I=∫sin⁡θ dθ(2+cos⁡θ)(3+4cos⁡θ)I = \displaystyle\int\dfrac{\sin\theta\,d\theta}{(2+\cos\theta)(3+4\cos\theta)}

Substitute cos⁡θ=t\cos\theta = t, which gives −sin⁡θ dθ=dt⇒sin⁡θ dθ=−dt-\sin\theta\,d\theta = dt \Rightarrow \sin\theta\,d\theta = -dt

I=∫−dt(2+t)(3+4t)I = \displaystyle\int\dfrac{-dt}{(2+t)(3+4t)}

Using partial fractions:

−1(t+2)(4t+3)=Pt+2+Q4t+3\dfrac{-1}{(t+2)(4t+3)} = \dfrac{P}{t+2} + \dfrac{Q}{4t+3}

−1=P(4t+3)+Q(t+2)-1 = P(4t+3) + Q(t+2)

Substituting t=−2t = -2, we get −1=P(−8+3)⇒P=15-1 = P(-8+3) \Rightarrow P = \dfrac{1}{5}

Substituting t=−34t = -\dfrac{3}{4}, we get −1=Q(−34+2)⇒Q=−45-1 = Q\left(-\dfrac{3}{4}+2\right) \Rightarrow Q = -\dfrac{4}{5}

Therefore, the integral becomes:

I=∫(1/5t+2−4/54t+3)dtI = \displaystyle\int \left( \dfrac{1/5}{t+2} - \dfrac{4/5}{4t+3} \right) dt

I=15ln⁡∣t+2∣−45⋅14ln⁡∣4t+3∣+CI = \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|t+2| - \dfrac{4}{5} \cdot \dfrac{1}{4} \ln|4t+3| + C

I=15ln⁡∣t+2∣−15ln⁡∣4t+3∣+CI = \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|t+2| - \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|4t+3| + C

Substituting back t=cos⁡θt = \cos\theta:

I=15ln⁡∣2+cos⁡θ∣−15ln⁡∣3+4cos⁡θ∣+CI = \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|2+\cos\theta| - \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|3+4\cos\theta| + C

Comparing this with Aln⁡∣2+cos⁡θ∣+Bln⁡∣3+4cos⁡θ∣A\ln|2+\cos\theta| + B\ln|3+4\cos\theta|, we get A=15A = \dfrac{1}{5}.

Answer: 15\dfrac{1}{5}
