Mathematics Question on General and Particular Solutions of a Differential Equation
The integral ∫(1+x)x−x2dx is equal to (where C is a constant of integration)
A
−21−x1+x+C
B
−21+x1−x+C
C
−1+x1−x+C
D
21−x1+x+C
Answer
−21+x1−x+C
Explanation
Solution
I=∫(1+x)x−x2dx
put x=cos2θ
dx=−2cosθsinθdθ
I=∫(1+cosθ)cosθsinθ−2sinθcosθdθ=−2∫2cos2θ/2dθ
=−∫sec2(2θ)dθ∴cosθ=x
=−2tanθ/2+C1+tan2θ/21−tan2θ/2=x
=−21+x1−x+c
⇒tan2(2θ)=1+x1−x
