Question
Evaluate the following intregals:
$\int\frac{1}{5+4\cos\text{x}}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{5+4\cos\text{x}}\ \text{dx}$
Put $\cos\text{x}=\frac{1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{1+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$
$\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{5+4\Bigg(\frac{1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{1+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\Bigg)}\ \text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{1+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{5\Big(1+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)+4\Big(1-\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)}\ \text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{\sec^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{9+\tan^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\ \text{dx}$
Let $\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\text{t}$
$\frac{1}{2}\sec^2\frac{\text{x}}{2}\text{dx}=\text{dt}$
$=\int\frac{2\text{dt}}{(3)^2+\text{t}^2}$
$=2\times\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}(\text{t})+\text{C}$
$\text{I}=\frac{2}{3}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}{3}\Big)+\text{C}$

The contents of three urns are as follows:
Urn 1 : 7 white, 3 black balls,
Urn 2 : 4 white, 6 black balls,
Urn 3 : 2 white, 8 black balls.
One of these urns is chosen at random with probabilities 0.20, 0.60 and 0.20 respectively. From the chosen urn two balls are drawn at random without replacement. If both these balls are white, what is the probability that these came from urn 3?
