Integral Calculus Question 247

Question: If $ \int_{{}}^{{}}{(\sin 2x-\cos 2x)}\ dx=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin (2x-a)+b $ , then

[Roorkee 1978; MP PET 2001]

Options:

A) $ a=\frac{\pi }{4},\ b=0 $

B) $ a=-\frac{\pi }{4},\ b=0 $

C) $ a=\frac{5\pi }{4},\ b= $ any constant

D) $ a=-\frac{5\pi }{4},\ b= $ any constant

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \int_{{}}^{{}}{(\sin 2x-\cos 2x),dx=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin (2x-a)+b} $
$ \Rightarrow -\frac{1}{2}(\sin 2x+\cos 2x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin (2x-a)+b $
$ \Rightarrow -[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin 2x+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cos 2x ]=\sin (2x-a)+b\sqrt{2} $
$ \Rightarrow \sin ( 2x+\frac{5\pi }{4} )=\sin (2x-a)+b\sqrt{2} $
$ \Rightarrow b $ is any constant and $ a=\frac{-5\pi }{4} $ .
