Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The denominator is sin⁡2x+sin⁡2x\sin^2 x + \sin 2x.

Using sin⁡2x=2sin⁡xcos⁡x\sin 2x = 2\sin x \cos x:

sin⁡2x+2sin⁡xcos⁡x\sin^2 x + 2\sin x \cos x

=sin⁡x(sin⁡x+2cos⁡x)= \sin x(\sin x + 2\cos x)

The integral becomes:

∫1sin⁡x(sin⁡x+2cos⁡x)dx\int \frac{1}{\sin x(\sin x + 2\cos x)} dx


Dividing both numerator and denominator by sin⁡2x\sin^2 x:

∫1/sin⁡2xsin⁡x(sin⁡x+2cos⁡x)/sin⁡2xdx\int \frac{1/\sin^2 x}{\sin x(\sin x + 2\cos x)/\sin^2 x} dx

The numerator becomes:

1sin⁡2x\frac{1}{\sin^2 x}

=csc⁡2x= \csc^2 x

The denominator becomes:

sin⁡x(sin⁡x+2cos⁡x)sin⁡2x\frac{\sin x(\sin x + 2\cos x)}{\sin^2 x}

=sin⁡x+2cos⁡xsin⁡x= \frac{\sin x + 2\cos x}{\sin x}

=1+2⋅cos⁡xsin⁡x= 1 + 2\cdot\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}

=1+2cot⁡x= 1 + 2\cot x

The integral is now:

∫csc⁡2x1+2cot⁡xdx\int \frac{\csc^2 x}{1 + 2\cot x} dx


Let u=cot⁡xu = \cot x

Then dudx=−csc⁡2x\frac{du}{dx} = -\csc^2 x, so du=−csc⁡2x dxdu = -\csc^2 x \, dx

Therefore csc⁡2x dx=−du\csc^2 x \, dx = -du

Substituting:

∫csc⁡2x1+2cot⁡xdx\int \frac{\csc^2 x}{1 + 2\cot x} dx

=∫−du1+2u= \int \frac{-du}{1 + 2u}

=−∫du1+2u= -\int \frac{du}{1 + 2u}


−∫du1+2u-\int \frac{du}{1 + 2u}

=−12ln⁡∣1+2u∣+C= -\frac{1}{2}\ln|1 + 2u| + C


Substituting back u=cot⁡x=1tan⁡xu = \cot x = \frac{1}{\tan x}:

−12ln⁡∣1+2tan⁡x∣+C-\frac{1}{2}\ln\left|1 + \frac{2}{\tan x}\right| + C

=−12ln⁡∣tan⁡x+2tan⁡x∣+C= -\frac{1}{2}\ln\left|\frac{\tan x + 2}{\tan x}\right| + C

Using the logarithm property −ln⁡(a)=ln⁡(1a)-\ln(a) = \ln\left(\frac{1}{a}\right):

=12ln⁡∣tan⁡xtan⁡x+2∣+C= \frac{1}{2}\ln\left|\frac{\tan x}{\tan x + 2}\right| + C

Therefore:

12log⁡∣tan⁡xtan⁡x+2∣+C\boxed{\frac{1}{2}\log\left|\frac{\tan x}{\tan x + 2}\right| + C}
