    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{{{\sec }^{p}}x\tan x\ dx=}\]

    A)            \[\frac{{{\sec }^{p+1}}x}{p+1}+c\]

    B)            \[\frac{{{\sec }^{p}}x}{p}+c\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{\tan }^{p+1}}x}{p+1}+c\]

    D)            \[\frac{{{\tan }^{p}}x}{p}+c\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Put \[\sec x=t\Rightarrow \sec x\tan x\,dx=dt,\] therefore            \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{{{\sec }^{p}}x\tan x\,dx}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{{{t}^{p-1}}dt=\frac{{{t}^{p}}}{p}+c}=\frac{{{\sec }^{p}}x}{p}+c.\]
