Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{32}{3\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given integral is \(I = \displaystyle\int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} \left(\dfrac{4 - \csc^2 x}{\cos^4 x}\right) dx\). We can rewrite the integrand in terms of \(\tan x\) and \(\sec x\). Using the identity \(\csc^2 x = 1 + \cot^2 x = 1 + \dfrac{1}{\tan^2 x}\), we get:…
