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

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
  1. $\cos \left(x e^x\right.$
  2. $\sin \left(x e^x\right.$
  3. $2 \tan ^{-1}(x)$
  4. $\tan \left(x e^x\right)$

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} $
