Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Trigonometric Identity: sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)
  • Trigonometric Identity: 1cos(x)=2sin2(x2)1 - \cos(x) = 2\sin^2(\frac{x}{2}) and 1+cos(x)=2cos2(x2)1 + \cos(x) = 2\cos^2(\frac{x}{2})
  • Integral of tangent: tan(x)dx=lnsec(x)+C\int \tan(x) \, dx = \ln|\sec(x)| + C
  • Chain Rule for Integration (Substitution): f(g(x))g(x)dx=f(u)du\int f(g(x))g'(x) \, dx = \int f(u) \, du, where u=g(x)u = g(x).

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Rewrite the integrand using the double angle formula.

We are given the integral: I=x2sin(x21)sin2(x21)2sin(x21)+sin2(x21)dxI = \int {x\sqrt {{{2\sin ({x^2} - 1) - \sin 2({x^2} - 1)} \over {2\sin ({x^2} - 1) + \sin 2({x^2} - 1)}}} dx} Using the double angle formula sin(2θ)=2sin(θ)cos(θ)\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta), we rewrite the integrand: I=x2sin(x21)2sin(x21)cos(x21)2sin(x21)+2sin(x21)cos(x21)dxI = \int {x\sqrt {{{2\sin ({x^2} - 1) - 2\sin ({x^2} - 1)\cos ({x^2} - 1)} \over {2\sin ({x^2} - 1) + 2\sin ({x^2} - 1)\cos ({x^2} - 1)}}} dx}

Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the square root.

We factor out 2sin(x21)2\sin(x^2 - 1) from the numerator and the denominator: I=x2sin(x21)(1cos(x21))2sin(x21)(1+cos(x21))dxI = \int {x\sqrt {{{2\sin ({x^2} - 1)(1 - \cos ({x^2} - 1))} \over {2\sin ({x^2} - 1)(1 + \cos ({x^2} - 1))}}} dx} Canceling the common factor, we get: I=x1cos(x21)1+cos(x21)dxI = \int {x\sqrt {{{1 - \cos ({x^2} - 1)} \over {1 + \cos ({x^2} - 1)}}} dx}

Step 3: Use half-angle identities to further simplify.

We use the identities 1cos(x)=2sin2(x2)1 - \cos(x) = 2\sin^2(\frac{x}{2}) and 1+cos(x)=2cos2(x2)1 + \cos(x) = 2\cos^2(\frac{x}{2}): I=x2sin2(x212)2cos2(x212)dxI = \int {x\sqrt {{{2\sin^2 ({{{x^2} - 1} \over 2})} \over {2\cos^2 ({{{x^2} - 1} \over 2})}}} dx} I=xtan2(x212)dxI = \int {x\sqrt {{\tan^2 ({{{x^2} - 1} \over 2})}} dx} I=xtan(x212)dxI = \int {x\left| {\tan \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)} \right|dx} Since we are dealing with indefinite integrals, we can assume tan(x212)\tan \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right) is positive. Thus, I=xtan(x212)dxI = \int {x\tan \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)dx}

Step 4: Use substitution to solve the integral.

Let t=x212t = \frac{x^2 - 1}{2}. Then, dtdx=2x2=x\frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{2x}{2} = x, which implies dt=xdxdt = x\, dx. Substituting, we have: I=tan(t)dtI = \int {\tan (t)dt}

Step 5: Evaluate the integral.

We know that tan(t)dt=lnsec(t)+C\int \tan(t) \, dt = \ln|\sec(t)| + C. Therefore, I=lnsec(t)+CI = \ln|\sec(t)| + C

Step 6: Substitute back to get the final answer.

Substituting t=x212t = \frac{x^2 - 1}{2} back into the expression, we have: I=lnsec(x212)+CI = \ln\left| {\sec \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)} \right| + C

However, the correct answer is given as loge12sec2(x21)+c{\log _e}\left| {{1 \over 2}{{\sec }^2}\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)} \right| + c. Let's manipulate our answer to match the given correct answer.

Let's analyze the given correct answer: loge12sec2(x21)+c=ln12sec2(x21)+c=ln121cos2(x21)+c{\log _e}\left| {{1 \over 2}{{\sec }^2}\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)} \right| + c = \ln \left| \frac{1}{2} \sec^2(x^2 - 1) \right| + c = \ln \left| \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{\cos^2(x^2 - 1)} \right| + c =ln121cos2(x21)+c=ln12+lnsec2(x21)+c=ln12+2lnsec(x21)+c= \ln \left| \frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{\cos^2(x^2 - 1)} \right| + c = \ln \left| \frac{1}{2} \right| + \ln \left| \sec^2(x^2 - 1) \right| + c = \ln \left| \frac{1}{2} \right| + 2\ln \left| \sec(x^2 - 1) \right| + c

There seems to be an error in the provided "Correct Answer". Let's review our steps.

We have: I=xtan(x212)dxI = \int {x\tan \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)dx} Let t=x212t = \frac{x^2 - 1}{2}. Then, dt=xdxdt = x\, dx. Substituting, we have: I=tan(t)dt=lnsec(t)+C=lnsec(x212)+CI = \int {\tan (t)dt} = \ln|\sec(t)| + C = \ln \left| {\sec \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)} \right| + C

Now, let's try to find an error in the problem statement or options.

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Remember to use the correct trigonometric identities.
  • Don't forget the constant of integration.
  • Double-check the substitution to ensure it is done correctly.
  • Be careful about signs and simplifying the expression.

Summary

We simplified the integrand using trigonometric identities and then used substitution to evaluate the integral. The final result is lnsec(x212)+C\ln\left| {\sec \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)} \right| + C. Given the ground truth, there must be an error in the options. However, based on our calculation, the most probable answer is (D).

Final Answer

The final answer is \boxed{{\log _e}\left| {\sec \left( {{{{x^2} - 1} \over 2}} \right)} \right| + c}, which corresponds to option (D).
