Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I=\int \frac{x^3}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} d x=\int \frac{x^2 x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} d x\)
Put \(\sqrt{1+\mathrm{x}^2}=\mathrm{t} \Rightarrow 1+\mathrm{x}^2=\mathrm{t}^2 \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{xdx}=2 \mathrm{t} d \mathrm{t}\)
\(
\therefore \mathrm{I}=\int \frac{\left(\mathrm{t}^2-1\right) \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}}=\int\left(\mathrm{t}^2-1\right) \mathrm{dt}=\frac{\mathrm{t}^3}{3}-\mathrm{t}+\mathrm{c}=\) \(\frac{\left(1+\mathrm{x}^2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-\sqrt{1-\mathrm{x}^2}+\mathrm{c}
\)
Comparing with given data, \(\mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{3}, \mathrm{~b}=-1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=\frac{-2}{3}\)
