Options:

A) $ \log (3+4{{\cos }^{2}}x)+c $

B) $ \frac{-1}{2\sqrt{3}}{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{\cos x}{\sqrt{3}} )+c $

C) $ \frac{-1}{2\sqrt{3}}{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{2\cos x}{\sqrt{3}} )+c $

D) $ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3}}{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{2\cos x}{\sqrt{3}} )+c $

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ I=\int{\frac{\sin x}{3+4{{\cos }^{2}}x}dx} $ Put $ \cos x=t $ Þ $ -\sin xdx=dt $
$ \therefore I=\int{\frac{-dt}{3+4t^{2}}} $ $ =\int{\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x}{1-{{\tan }^{2}}x}dx} $
Þ $ I=-\frac{1}{4.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}.{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{t}{( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} )}+c=\frac{-1}{2\sqrt{3}}{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{2,t}{\sqrt{3}}+c $
$ \Rightarrow I=\frac{-1}{2\sqrt{3}}{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{2\cos x}{\sqrt{3}} )+c $ .
