$\int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\cot ^2 x-1}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}} \log |\sec 2 x+\tan 2 x|-\frac{x}{\mathrm{~B}}+\mathrm{c}$, (where $\mathrm{c}$ is constant of integration), then $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}=$
- $-6$
- $6$
- $-5$
- $5$
Solution
$\begin{aligned} \int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\cot ^2 x-1} & =\int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\frac{\cos ^2 x-\sin ^2 x}{\sin ^2 x}} \\ & =\int \frac{\sin ^2 x}{\cos 2 x} \mathrm{~d} x \\ & =\int \frac{\frac{1-\cos 2 x}{2}}{\cos 2 x} \mathrm{~d} x \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \int(\sec 2 x-1) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\log |\sec 2 x+\tan 2 x|}{2}-x\right)+\mathrm{c} \\ & =\frac{1}{4} \log |\sec 2 x+\tan 2 x|-\frac{x}{2}+\mathrm{c} \\ \therefore \quad \mathrm{A}=4, \mathrm{~B} & =2 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B} & =6\end{aligned}$
