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 BB ?

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

B. −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 t=cos⁡θt = \cos\theta, which gives dt=−sin⁡θ dθdt = -\sin\theta\,d\theta.

The integral becomes:

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

Using partial fractions, we can write:

−1(2+t)(3+4t)=A′2+t+B′3+4t\dfrac{-1}{(2+t)(3+4t)} = \dfrac{A'}{2+t} + \dfrac{B'}{3+4t}

−1=A′(3+4t)+B′(2+t)-1 = A'(3+4t) + B'(2+t)

Putting t=−2t = -2, we get −1=A′(3−8)⇒A′=15-1 = A'(3 - 8) \Rightarrow A' = \dfrac{1}{5}.

Putting t=−34t = -\dfrac{3}{4}, we get −1=B′(2−34)⇒−1=B′(54)⇒B′=−45-1 = B'\left(2 - \dfrac{3}{4}\right) \Rightarrow -1 = B'\left(\dfrac{5}{4}\right) \Rightarrow B' = -\dfrac{4}{5}.

So, the integral is:

I=∫(1/52+t−4/53+4t)dtI = \displaystyle\int \left( \dfrac{1/5}{2+t} - \dfrac{4/5}{3+4t} \right) dt

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

I=15ln⁡∣2+t∣−15ln⁡∣3+4t∣+CI = \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|2+t| - \dfrac{1}{5}\ln|3+4t| + 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 the given expression Aln⁡∣2+cos⁡θ∣+Bln⁡∣3+4cos⁡θ∣A\ln|2+\cos\theta| + B\ln|3+4\cos\theta|, we get:

B=−15B = -\dfrac{1}{5}

Answer: −15-\dfrac{1}{5}
