    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}}\ dx=\]

    A)            \[-\frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}{x}+c\]

    B)            \[\frac{\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}{x}+c\]

    C)            \[-\frac{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}}}{x}+c\]

    D)            \[-\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}-1}}{x}+c\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Put \[x=\tan \theta \Rightarrow dx={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \,d\theta ,\] then            \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}\sqrt{1+{{x}^{2}}}}\,dx=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{\sec }^{2}}\theta \,d\theta }{{{\tan }^{2}}\theta \sec \theta }=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\text{cosec}\,\theta \,\text{cot}\theta \,d\theta }}}\]            \[=-\text{cosec}\,\theta +\text{c}=\frac{\text{--}\sqrt{{{x}^{\text{2}}}+1}}{x}+c.\]
