Integral Calculus Question 324

Question: $ \int_{{}}^{{}}{\sec x\ dx=} $

[MP PET 1988, 95; RPET 1996]

Options:

A) $ \log \tan ( \frac{\pi }{8}+\frac{x}{2} )+c $

B) $ -\log (\sec x-\tan x)+c $

C) $ \log (\sec x-\tan x)+c $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \int_{{}}^{{}}{\sec x,dx}=\log (\sec x+\tan x)+c $ $ =\log ( \frac{1}{\sec x-\tan x} )+c=-\log (\sec x-\tan x)+c $ .
