Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I = \int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\sin^{3} x \cos x}} dx\). Rewrite the integrand as \(I = \int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\sin^{2} x \cdot \sin x \cos x}} dx = \int \dfrac{1}{\sin x \sqrt{\sin x \cos x}} dx\). Divide the numerator and denominator by \(\cos^{2} x\) inside the square root or…
