Analyzing the Setup

Welcome, my fellow traveler on the path to JEE excellence. Today, we are not just solving a problem; we are peeling back the layers of a complex integral to reveal the elegant structure hidden beneath.
Look at the expression on your screen:
It looks daunting, doesn't it? But in the world of JEE, complexity is often just a mask for a beautiful, simple path.

The First Spark

The first thing we must do is observe. Notice the in the numerator? That is not a coincidence; it is a beacon.
We know that the derivative of is . This is our golden ticket. Let us perform our first substitution: .
Differentiating both sides gives us . Now, watch as the trigonometric fog lifts:

The Surgical Extraction

Now, we face the core challenge. We have in the denominator and a bracket .
The trick, a classic JEE maneuver, is to force a substitution by extracting the highest power of from inside the bracket. We factor out from .
When leaves the bracket, it carries the exponent with it, becoming . Inside the bracket, we are left with .
So, our denominator becomes , which simplifies beautifully to . Our integral is now:

The Elegant Cancellation

Now, look at the term inside the bracket: . Its derivative is .
Look at our integral again. We have in the numerator and in the denominator, which is exactly . Let us make our second substitution: .
Then , which means . Substituting this into our integral, we get:
This is a standard power rule integral. Integrating gives us . Multiplying by , we get:

The Final Reveal

We are almost there. We must return to our original variable . First, substitute back:
Writing as and simplifying, we get:
Finally, replace with :
Comparing this with the given form , we identify . To find the final answer, we calculate .
Since , then . Thus:
Multiplying by , we get the final result: -2.
