Question:
The integral $\int \sec ^{2 / 3} x \operatorname{cosec}{ }^{4 / 3} x d x$ is equal to
(Hence $\mathrm{C}$ is a constant of integration)
Correct Option: , 4
Solution:
$I=\int \frac{d x}{(\sin x)^{4 / 3} \cdot(\cos x)^{2 / 3}}$
$I=\int \frac{d x}{\left(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)^{4 / 3} \cdot \cos ^{2} x}$
$\Rightarrow I=\int \frac{\sec ^{2} x}{(\tan x)^{4 / 3}} d x$
put $\tan x=t \Rightarrow \sec ^{2} x d x=d t$
$\therefore \mathrm{I}=\int \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}^{4 / 3}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=\frac{-3}{\mathrm{t}^{1 / 3}}+\mathrm{c}$
$\Rightarrow I=\frac{-3}{(\tan x)^{1 / 3}}+c$
