Question

$\int {\cfrac{{dx}}{{{{\sin }^2}x{{\cos }^2}x}}}$equals

  • (a) $\tan x + \cot x + C$
  • (b) $\tan x - \cot x + C$
  • (c) $\tan x\cot x + C$
  • (d) $\tan x - \cot 2x + C$
Step-by-step Solution

Option b is correct

Let $I = \int {\cfrac{{dx}}{{{{\sin }^2}x{{\cos }^2}x}}} = \int {\cfrac{{{{\sin }^2}x + {{\cos }^2}x}}{{{{\sin }^2}x{{\cos }^2}x}}} dx$

$= \int {\left( {{{\sec }^2}x + \cos e{c^2}x} \right)} dx = \tan x - \cot x + C$
