    The value of \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}\,dx}\] is  [Pb. CET 2000]

    A)            \[\frac{1}{\sin x+\cos x}+c\]

    B)            \[\frac{1}{\sin x-\cos x}+c\]

    C)                    \[\log (\sin x+\cos x)+c\]

    D)                    \[\log \left( \frac{1}{\sin x+\cos x} \right)+c\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       Put \[\sin x+\cos x=t\Rightarrow (\cos x-\sin x)dx=dt\]            \[\Rightarrow \]\[-(\sin x-\cos x)dx=dt\]            \[\therefore \] \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}}\,dx=-\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dt}{t}=-\log t+c=\log \left( \frac{1}{t} \right)+c}\]                    Hence, \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sin x-\cos x}{\sin x+\cos x}dx=\log \left( \frac{1}{\sin x+\cos x} \right)+c}\].
