Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \cos x}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\because I=\int \frac{\sin x}{3+4 \cos ^2 x} d x\)
\(=\frac{\sin x}{3\left[1+\left(\frac{2 \cos x}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2\right]} d x\)
put \(\quad t=\frac{2 \cos x}{\sqrt{3}}\)
\(d t=\frac{-2 \sin x}{\sqrt{3}} d x\)
\(I=\int-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\left(3 t^2+3\right)} d t\)
\(=-\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}} \int \frac{1}{1+t^2} d t\)
\(=-\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}(t)+C\)
\(=\frac{-1}{2 \sqrt{3}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 \cos x}{\sqrt{3}}\right)+C\)
