If the integral $\int \frac{5 \tan x}{\tan x-2} d x=x+a \ln |\sin x-2 \cos x|+k$, then $a$ is equal to
If the integral $\int \frac{5 \tan x}{\tan x-2} d x=x+a \ln |\sin x-2 \cos x|+k$, then $a$ is equal to
-
$-1$
-
$-2$
-
$1$
-
$2$
Solution
$\int \frac{5 \tan x}{\tan x-2} d x=\int \frac{5 \sin x}{\sin x-2 \cos x} d x$
$\Rightarrow \int\left[\frac{2(\cos x+2 \sin x)+(\sin x-2 \cos x)}{\sin x-2 \cos x}\right] d x$
$=2 \int\left(\frac{\cos x+2 \sin x}{\sin x-2 \cos x}\right) d x+\int d x+k$
$=2 \log |\sin x-2 \cos x|+x+k \quad \therefore a=2$
