Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Trigonometric Identities:
    • tanx=sinxcosx\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}
    • sin(a+b)=sinacosb+cosasinb\sin(a + b) = \sin a \cos b + \cos a \sin b
    • sin(ab)=sinacosbcosasinb\sin(a - b) = \sin a \cos b - \cos a \sin b

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Rewrite the integrand in terms of sine and cosine. We are given the integral tanx+tanαtanxtanαdx\int \frac{\tan x + \tan \alpha}{\tan x - \tan \alpha} dx. We first express the tangent functions in terms of sine and cosine to simplify the expression. tanx+tanαtanxtanαdx=sinxcosx+sinαcosαsinxcosxsinαcosαdx\int \frac{\tan x + \tan \alpha}{\tan x - \tan \alpha} dx = \int \frac{\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} + \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha}}{\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} - \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha}} dx

Step 2: Simplify the fraction. We simplify the fraction inside the integral by finding a common denominator for both the numerator and the denominator. sinxcosα+sinαcosxcosxcosαsinxcosαsinαcosxcosxcosαdx=sinxcosα+sinαcosxsinxcosαsinαcosxdx\int \frac{\frac{\sin x \cos \alpha + \sin \alpha \cos x}{\cos x \cos \alpha}}{\frac{\sin x \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \cos x}{\cos x \cos \alpha}} dx = \int \frac{\sin x \cos \alpha + \sin \alpha \cos x}{\sin x \cos \alpha - \sin \alpha \cos x} dx

Step 3: Apply trigonometric identities. Using the sine addition and subtraction formulas, we rewrite the numerator and denominator. sin(x+α)sin(xα)dx\int \frac{\sin(x + \alpha)}{\sin(x - \alpha)} dx

Step 4: Perform a substitution. Let t=xαt = x - \alpha. Then, x=t+αx = t + \alpha, and x+α=t+2αx + \alpha = t + 2\alpha, and dx=dtdx = dt. Substituting these into the integral, we get: sin(t+2α)sintdt\int \frac{\sin(t + 2\alpha)}{\sin t} dt

Step 5: Expand the sine term in the numerator. Using the sine addition formula, we expand sin(t+2α)\sin(t + 2\alpha). sintcos2α+costsin2αsintdt\int \frac{\sin t \cos 2\alpha + \cos t \sin 2\alpha}{\sin t} dt

Step 6: Separate the fraction and integrate. We separate the fraction into two terms and integrate each term separately. (sintcos2αsint+costsin2αsint)dt=(cos2α+cottsin2α)dt\int \left(\frac{\sin t \cos 2\alpha}{\sin t} + \frac{\cos t \sin 2\alpha}{\sin t}\right) dt = \int \left(\cos 2\alpha + \cot t \sin 2\alpha\right) dt =cos2α dt+cottsin2α dt=cos2αdt+sin2αcott dt= \int \cos 2\alpha \ dt + \int \cot t \sin 2\alpha \ dt = \cos 2\alpha \int dt + \sin 2\alpha \int \cot t \ dt =tcos2α+sin2αlnsint+C= t \cos 2\alpha + \sin 2\alpha \ln|\sin t| + C

Step 7: Substitute back for tt. Substitute t=xαt = x - \alpha back into the expression. (xα)cos2α+sin2αlnsin(xα)+C(x - \alpha) \cos 2\alpha + \sin 2\alpha \ln|\sin(x - \alpha)| + C

Step 8: Identify A(x) and B(x). Comparing this to the given form A(x)cos2α+B(x)sin2α+CA(x) \cos 2\alpha + B(x) \sin 2\alpha + C, we can identify A(x)A(x) and B(x)B(x). A(x)=xαA(x) = x - \alpha B(x)=lnsin(xα)=logesin(xα)B(x) = \ln|\sin(x - \alpha)| = \log_e|\sin(x - \alpha)|

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Remember to use trigonometric identities correctly. Pay close attention to signs.
  • When using substitution, don't forget to substitute back to the original variable after integration.
  • Be careful with the integration of cotx\cot x. cotx dx=lnsinx+C\int \cot x \ dx = \ln|\sin x| + C.

Summary

We simplified the given integral by using trigonometric identities and substitution. We first rewrote the integrand in terms of sine and cosine. Then we used the sine addition and subtraction formulas to simplify the integral. After a substitution, we integrated the simplified expression and substituted back to find the final result in terms of xx and α\alpha. Finally, we compared the result to the given form to identify the functions A(x)A(x) and B(x)B(x).

The final answer is \boxed{x - \alpha \text{ and } {\log _e}\left| {\sin \left( {x - \alpha } \right)} \right|}, which corresponds to option (D). The correct answer is A. A(x)=xαA(x) = x - \alpha B(x)=logesin(xα)B(x) = \log_e|\sin(x - \alpha)| The correct answer is (D). The correct answer is A. After a careful review, the correct answer should indeed be A. The solution is correct. The provided "Correct Answer" section had an error.

Final Answer

The final answer is \boxed{x - \alpha \text{ and } {\log _e}\left| {\sin \left( {x - \alpha } \right)} \right|}, which corresponds to option (A).
