If ∫ e s e c x s e c x tan x f x + s e c x tan x + s e c 2 x d x = e s e c x f x + C , then a possible…

If esecxsecxtanxfx+secxtanx+sec2xdx=esecxfx+C, then a possible choice of fx is:
  1. secx-tanx-12
  2. secx+tanx+12
  3. xsecx+tanx+12
  4. secx+xtanx-12

Solution

esecx(secxtanxfx+secxtanx+sec2xdx=esecxfx+C

Differentiating both sides w.r.t x we get

esecxsecxtanxfx+secxtanx+sec2x=esecxsecxtanxf(x)+esecxf'x

f'x=sec2x+tanxsecx

fx=sec2x+tanxsecxdx

fx=tanx+secx+c, cR
Hence, possible choice is fx=secx+tanx+12.
