Evaluate: $\int \frac{\cos x}{\left(\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}\right)^3} d x$
  • A
    $\frac{2}{\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}}+C$
  • B
    $\frac{-2}{\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin \frac{x}{2}}+C$
  • $\frac{-2}{\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}}+C$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin \frac{x}{2}}+C$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{-2}{\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}}+C$
We have,
$ \int \frac{\cos x}{\left(\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}\right)^3} d x=\int \frac{\cos ^2(x / 2)-\sin ^2(x / 2)}{\{\cos (x / 2)+\sin (x / 2)\}^3} d x$
$\text { Put } t=\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2} $
$\Rightarrow 2 d t=\left[\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin \frac{x}{2}\right] d x$
$\Rightarrow \int \frac{\cos (x / 2)-\sin (x / 2)}{\left(\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}\right)^2} d x=2 \int \frac{1}{t^2} d t$
$\quad=\frac{-2}{t}+C=\frac{-2}{\cos (x / 2)+\sin (x / 2)}+C$
