$\int \frac{\sqrt{\tan x}}{\sin x \cdot \cos x} \mathrm{~d} x=$
- A$2 \sqrt{\sec x}+c$, where $c$ is a constant of integration
- Correct answerB$2 \sqrt{\tan x}+c$, where $c$ is a constant of integration
- C$\frac{2}{\sqrt{\tan x}}+c$, where $c$ is a constant of integration
- D$\frac{2}{\sqrt{\sec x}}+c$, where $c$ is a constant of integration
Solution
The integral is evaluated using substitution after rewriting the integrand in terms of $\tan x$.
Recall that $\sin x \cdot \cos x = \tan x \cdot \cos^2 x$. Substituting into the integral gives:
$\int \frac{\sqrt{\tan x}}{\tan x \cdot \cos^2 x} dx = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{\tan x}} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^2 x} dx = \int \frac{\sec^2 x}{\sqrt{\tan x}} dx$
Let $u = \tan x$, so $du = \sec^2 x dx$. The integral simplifies to:
$\int u^{-1/2} du = 2u^{1/2} + C$
Substituting back yields the final result:
$2\sqrt{\tan x} + C$
This corresponds to option B.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
