    \[\int{\frac{dx}{{{({{a}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}})}^{3/2}}}}\] is equal to       [RPET 2000]

    A)            \[\frac{x}{{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}} \right)}^{1/2}}}\]

    B)            \[\frac{x}{{{a}^{2}}{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}} \right)}^{1/2}}}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}{{\left( {{a}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}} \right)}^{1/2}}}\]

    D)   None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[I=\frac{1}{2}\log \left| \frac{1+\tan x}{1-\tan x} \right|+C\]            Put \[x=a\tan \theta \,\,\Rightarrow dx=a{{\sec }^{2}}\theta \,d\theta \]            \[\therefore \,I=\int{\frac{a{{\sec }^{2}}\theta }{{{({{a}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}{{\tan }^{2}}\theta )}^{3/2}}}d\theta }=\int{\frac{a{{\sec }^{2}}\theta }{{{a}^{3}}{{({{\sec }^{2}}\theta )}^{3/2}}}d\theta }\]            Þ  \[I=\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}\int{\frac{d\theta }{\sec \theta }}\] \[=\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}\int{\cos \theta \,d\theta =\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}\sin \theta +c}\]            Þ  \[I=\frac{x}{{{a}^{2}}{{({{x}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}})}^{1/2}}}+c\].
