Analyzing the Setup
Imagine you are standing before a complex integral:
It looks intimidating, but in the world of JEE Advanced, every problem is a puzzle waiting to be solved. The first step is to look for the 'hidden key.'
Notice that cos2θ1 is a massive neon sign pointing towards a specific substitution. Since cos2θ1=sec2θ and sec2θ is the derivative of tanθ, we have our roadmap. We rewrite the integral as:
The Trigonometric Bridge
Double Angle Identities
Now, look at the denominator. We have tan2θ and sec2θ, which are double-angle terms currently blocking our path. To clear the way, we bring them into the world of tanθ using the classic identities:
tan2θ=1−tan2θ2tanθandsec2θ=1−tan2θ1+tan2θ
By substituting these into our denominator D, we get:
D=1−tan2θ2tanθ+1−tan2θ1+tan2θ=1−tan2θ1+tan2θ+2tanθ
The Algebraic Transformation
Notice that the numerator of our new denominator, 1+tan2θ+2tanθ, is the perfect square expansion of (1+tanθ)2. Thus, the denominator becomes:
Substituting this back into our integral, we obtain:
I=∫(1+tanθ)2sec2θ(1−tan2θ)dθ
Now, let t=tanθ, which implies dt=sec2θdθ. Our integral transforms into a simple algebraic rational function:
The Final Integration
Factor the numerator as 1−t2=(1−t)(1+t). Our integral becomes:
I=∫(1+t)2(1−t)(1+t)dt=∫1+t1−tdt
To integrate this, we perform a clever manipulation:
1+t1−t=1+t−(t+1)+2=−1+1+t2
Integrating term by term, we find:
Finally, substituting t=tanθ back into the expression, we get:
Comparing this to the form λtanθ+2ln∣f(θ)∣+C, we identify λ=−1 and f(θ)=1+tanθ. The final result is (λ,f(θ))=(−1,1+tanθ).
