Analyzing the Setup
The integral we are tasked to solve is:
In JEE Advanced, intimidation is often a sign that you need a better perspective. Our goal is to reach the target form λtanθ+2loge∣f(θ)∣+C.
The Bridge
Double Angle Identities
The integrand contains tan2θ and sec2θ. To simplify these, we apply the standard double angle identities:
tan2θ=1−tan2θ2tanθ,sec2θ=1−tan2θ1+tan2θ
Notice that both expressions share the same denominator, 1−tan2θ. Adding them together yields:
tan2θ+sec2θ=1−tan2θ2tanθ+1+tan2θ=1−tan2θ(1+tanθ)2
The Magic of Substitution
Recalling that cos2θ1=sec2θ, we substitute our simplified expression back into the integral:
I=∫(1+tanθ)2sec2θ(1−tan2θ)dθ
We now perform the substitution t=tanθ, which implies dt=sec2θdθ. The integral transforms into a purely algebraic form:
The Algebraic Cleanup
The numerator 1−t2 is a difference of squares, (1−t)(1+t). Canceling the common (1+t) term, we obtain:
To integrate this, we rewrite the numerator as 2−(1+t):
I=∫(1+t2−1)dt=2loge∣1+t∣−t+C
The Final Victory
Substituting t=tanθ back into the expression, we get:
Comparing this to the target form λtanθ+2loge∣f(θ)∣+C, we identify the parameters:
λ=−1 and f(θ)=1+tanθ.
The final result is the ordered pair (−1,1+tanθ).
