D3(secθ+tanθ)2[2+tanθ(secθ+tanθ)]+C\dfrac{3(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)}{2}\big[2+\tan\theta(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)\big]+C
Solution
Step 1: Let t=secθ+tanθt=\sec\theta+\tan\theta. Then
dt=(secθtanθ+sec2θ)dθ=secθ(secθ+tanθ)dθ=secθtdθdt=(\sec\theta\tan\theta+\sec^{2}\theta)\,d\theta=\sec\theta(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)\,d\theta=\sec\theta\cdot t\,d\theta
Step 2: From (secθ+tanθ)(secθtanθ)=1(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)(\sec\theta-\tan\theta)=1, get secθtanθ=1t\sec\theta-\tan\theta=\dfrac{1}{t}, hence secθ=12 ⁣(t+1t)\sec\theta=\dfrac{1}{2}\!\left(t+\dfrac{1}{t}\right). Step 3: Write the integral grouping one secθt\sec\theta\,t as dtdt:
I=sec2θt2dθ=(secθt)(secθtdθ)=secθtdt=12 ⁣(t+1t)tdt=12(t2+1)dtI=\int \sec^{2}\theta\,t^{2}\,d\theta=\int (\sec\theta\,t)\,(\sec\theta\,t\,d\theta)=\int \sec\theta\,t\,dt=\int \dfrac{1}{2}\!\left(t+\dfrac{1}{t}\right)t\,dt=\dfrac{1}{2}\int (t^{2}+1)\,dt
Step 4: Integrate:
=12 ⁣(t33+t)+C=t6(t2+3)=\dfrac{1}{2}\!\left(\dfrac{t^{3}}{3}+t\right)+C=\dfrac{t}{6}\,(t^{2}+3)
Step 5: Convert to the secθ\sec\theta-option form. Using t2=(secθ+tanθ)2=2sec2θ+2secθtanθ1t^{2}=(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)^{2}=2\sec^{2}\theta+2\sec\theta\tan\theta-1,
1+secθ(secθ+tanθ)=1+sec2θ+secθtanθ=t2+321+\sec\theta(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)=1+\sec^{2}\theta+\sec\theta\tan\theta=\dfrac{t^{2}+3}{2}
t6(t2+3)=t3t2+32=secθ+tanθ3[1+secθ(secθ+tanθ)]+C\therefore \dfrac{t}{6}(t^{2}+3)=\dfrac{t}{3}\cdot\dfrac{t^{2}+3}{2}=\dfrac{\sec\theta+\tan\theta}{3}\big[1+\sec\theta(\sec\theta+\tan\theta)\big]+C
Correct answer: (3)
