    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sec x\ dx}{\sqrt{\cos 2x}}}=\]

    A)            \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(\tan x)\]

    B)            \[\tan x\]

    C)            \[{{\cos }^{-1}}(\tan x)\]

    D)            \[\frac{\sin x}{\sqrt{\cos x}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sec x\,dx}{\sqrt{\cos 2x}}}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{\sec x}{\sqrt{{{\cos }^{2}}x-{{\sin }^{2}}x}}}\,dx\]            \[=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx}{\sqrt{1-{{\tan }^{2}}x}}}\] {Multiplying \[N'r\] and \[D'r\] by \[\sec x\}\]            Now putting \[\tan x=t\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}x\,dx=dt,\] we get the integral \[={{\sin }^{-1}}t={{\sin }^{-1}}(\tan x).\]            Trick : Since \[\frac{d}{dx}\{{{\sin }^{-1}}(\tan x)\}=\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-{{\tan }^{2}}x}}\]                                                               \[=\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}x.\cos x}{\sqrt{{{\cos }^{2}}x-{{\sin }^{2}}x}}=\frac{\sec x}{\sqrt{\cos 2x}}.\]
