    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sin 2x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}dx=}\] [RPET 1995]

    A)            \[{{\cot }^{-1}}({{\tan }^{2}}x)+c\]

    B)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}({{\tan }^{2}}x)+c\]

    C)            \[{{\cot }^{-1}}({{\cot }^{2}}x)+c\]

    D)            \[{{\tan }^{-1}}({{\cot }^{2}}x)+c\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sin 2x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}\,dx}\]                    \[=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{2\sin x\cos x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}\,dx=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{2\tan x{{\sec }^{2}}x}{1+{{\tan }^{4}}x}\,dx}}\]            Put \[{{\tan }^{2}}x=t\Rightarrow 2\tan x{{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx=dt,\] then it reduced to \[\Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3}+5x+c\].            Trick : By inspection,                    \[\frac{d}{dx}\left\{ {{\cot }^{-1}}({{\tan }^{2}}x) \right\}=-\frac{1(2\tan x\,.\,{{\sec }^{2}}x)}{1+{{\tan }^{4}}x}=-\frac{\sin 2x}{{{\cos }^{4}}x+{{\sin }^{4}}x}\]            \[\Rightarrow \frac{d}{dx}\left\{ {{\tan }^{-1}}({{\tan }^{2}}x) \right\}=\frac{\sin 2x}{{{\sin }^{4}}x+{{\cos }^{4}}x}\].
