The integral $\int \frac{x^2\left(x \sec ^2 x+\tan x\right)}{(x \tan x+1)^2} d x$ is equal to

  • A
    $-\frac{x^2}{x \tan x+1}+c$
  • B
    $2 \log _e|x \sin x+\cos x|+c$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $-\frac{x^2}{x \tan x+1}+2 \log _e|x \sin x+\cos x|+c$
  • D
    $\frac{x^2}{x^2 \tan x-1}-2 \log _e|x \sin x+\cos x|+c$

Solution

(c) We note that $\frac{d}{d x}(x \tan x+1)=x \sec ^2 x+\tan x$ $\therefore$ integrating by parts with $x^2$ as first function, we get $\begin{aligned} & I=\int x^2 \frac{x \sec ^2 x+\tan x}{(x \tan x+1)^2} d x \\ & =x^2\left(-\frac{1}{x \tan x+1}\right)-\int 2 x\left(-\frac{1}{x \tan x+1}\right) d x \\ & =-\frac{x^2}{x \tan x+1}+2 \int \frac{x \cos x}{x \sin x+\cos x} d x \\ & =-\frac{x^2}{x \tan x+1}+2 \log _e|x \sin x+\cos x|+c \\ & \quad\left(\because \frac{d}{d x}(x \sin x+\cos x)=x \cos x\right) \end{aligned}$

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