Q113 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2008 · Mathematics

If $\int e^x(1+x) \cdot \sec ^2\left(x e^x\right) d x$ $=f(x)+$ constant, then $f(x)$ is equal to

  • A
    $\cos \left(x e^x\right.$
  • B
    $\sin \left(x e^x\right.$
  • C
    $2 \tan ^{-1}(x)$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\tan \left(x e^x\right)$

Solution

Given that, $$ \int e^x(1+x) \cdot \sec ^2\left(x e^x\right) d x=f(x)+\text { constant } $$ Put $$ x e^x=t \text { in LHS } $$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow & \left(e^x+x e^x\right) d x & =d t \\ & \therefore & \text { LHS } & =\int \sec ^2 t d t \\ & & & =\tan t+\text { constant } \\ & \Rightarrow & \tan \left(x e^x\right)+\text { constant } & =f(x)+\text { constant } \\ & \Rightarrow & f(x) & =\tan \left(x e^x\right) \end{aligned} $$

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