Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{44}{9 \sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \int_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \cos ^{-4} x d x = \int_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \sec^4 x d x \) \( = \int_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \sec^2 x (1 + \tan^2 x) d x \) \( = [\tan x + \frac{\tan^3 x}{3}]_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \)…
