\(\int x^{2020}\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right) d x=\)

\(\int x^{2020}\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right) d x=\)
  1. \(\frac{x^{2021}}{2020}\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right)+c\)
  2. \(\frac{x^{2021}}{2021}\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right)+c\)
  3. \(\frac{\pi x^{2021}}{2021}+\frac{\pi}{2}+C\)
  4. \(\frac{x^{52}}{52}+\frac{\pi}{2}+C\)

Solution

\(\begin{aligned} I & =\int x^{2020}\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right) d x \\ & =\int x^{2020}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) d x \quad\left\{\because \tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x=\frac{\pi}{2}\right\} \\ & =\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{x^{2021}}{2021}+C=\frac{x^{2021}}{2021}\left(\tan ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} x\right)+C \end{aligned}\) Hence, option (b) is correct.
