Q76 / 120 · JEE Main 2007 · Mathematics

$\int \frac{d x}{\cos x+\sqrt{3} \sin x}$ equals

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\frac{1}{2} \log \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right)+c$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \log \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\pi}{12}\right)+c$
  • C
    $\log \tan \left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right)+\mathrm{c}$
  • D
    $\log \tan \left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}-\frac{\pi}{12}\right)+\mathrm{c}$

Solution

$\int \frac{d x}{\cos x+\sqrt{3} \sin x}$ $=\frac{1}{2} \int \sec \left(x-\frac{\pi}{3}\right) d x$ $=\frac{1}{2} \log \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+c$ $=\frac{1}{2} \log \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{\pi}{12}\right)+c$.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
