Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int\frac{\tan\text{x}}{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^\frac{3}{2}\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$\text{Let }\cos\text{x}=\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow-\sin\text{x}\text{ dx}=\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=-\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{dx}}$
$\text{Now,}\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^\frac{3}{2}\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$=\int-\frac{1}{\text{t}^\frac{3}{2}}\text{dt}$
$=-\int\text{t}^{-\frac{3}{2}}\text{dt}$
$=-\bigg[\frac{\text{t}^{-\frac{3}{2}+1}}{\frac{-3}{2}+1}\bigg]+\text{C}$
$=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\text{t}}}+\text{C}$
$=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\cos\text{x}}}+\text{C}$

Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets $1$ or $2$, she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets $3, 4, 5$ or $6$, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’ is obtained. If she obtained exactly one ‘tail’, what is the probability that she threw $3, 4, 5$ or $6$ with the die?
