Integrate the following question.
∫(1+x)(x−x2)dx is equal to
A. (1−x)21+x+c B. (1+x)21+x+c C. (1−x)21−x+c D. 1−x2(x−1)+c
Solution
Hint: When you see this type of question it seems very complex so to make it easy use the substitution method put x=sinθ and solve further as a simple integration question.
Complete step-by-step solution -
∵x=sinθ
On differentiating we get
⇒2x1dx=cosθdθ
⇒dx=2xcosθdθ (∵x=sinθ)
⇒dx=2sinθcosθdθ
We have to find
∫(1+x)(x−x2)dx
(∵x=sinθ,∴x=sin2θ)
(x−x2=x(1−x)=sin2θ(1−sin2θ)=sinθ.cosθ)
On putting the values of dx and x we get
⇒∫(1+sinθ)sinθ.cosθ2sinθcosθdθ=2∫(1+sinθ)dθ
On multiplying by (1−sinθ)on numerator and denominator both we get
⇒2∫(1−sin2θ)(1−sinθ)dθ=2∫cos2θ1−sinθdθ (∵1−sin2θ=cos2θ)
\Rightarrow \left\\{ {\int {{{\sec }^2}\theta d\theta - \int {\left( {\tan \theta .\sec \theta } \right)d\theta } } } \right\\} (∵cos2θ1=sec2θ)
⇒2(tanθ−secθ)+c (∵∫sec2θdθ=tanθ)(∵∫secθ.tanθdθ=tanθ)
=2(1−xx−1−x1)+c (∵sinx=x,∴tanx=1−xx,∴secx=1−x1)
=1−x2(x−1)+c
Hence option D is the correct option.
Note: These are some special types of questions which are easily solved by substitution method. If you solve it by usual method it will go very long or it will not be solved. So proceed from the substitution method and use simple integration and simple trigonometric results to get an answer.
