Evalute the following integrals: 1 3x- dx - Vidyadip

Question

Evalute the following integrals:
$\int\frac{1}{\cos3\text{x}-\cos\text{x}}\text{dx}$

✓

Answer

$\int\frac{1}{\cos3\text{x}-\cos\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$=\int\frac{1}{4\cos^2\text{x}-4\cos\text{x}}\text{dx}\big[\because\cos3\text{x}=\text{4}\cos^3\text{x}\cos\text{x}\big]$
$=\int\frac{1}{4\cos\text{x}(\cos^2\text{x}-1)}\text{dx}$
$=\frac{-1}{4}\int\frac{1}{\cos\text{x}\sin^2\text{x}}\text{dx}$
$=\frac{-1}{4}\int\Big(\frac{\sin^2\text{x}+\cos^2\text{x}}{\cos\text{x}\sin^2\text{x}}\text{dx}\Big)$
$=\frac{-1}{\text{4}}\Big[\int\sec\text{ x dx}+\int\cot\text{x cosec x dx}$
$=\frac{-1}{4}\big(\text{ln }|\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}|-\text{cosec x}\big)+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{4}\big(\text{cosec x}-\text{ln}|\sec\text{x}+\tan\text{x}|\big)+\text{C}$
