    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

If e∫tan⁡dxx=eln⁡(sec⁡x)=sec⁡x\mathrm{e}^{\int \tan \mathrm{dx} x}=\mathrm{e}^{\ln (\sec \mathrm{x})}=\sec \mathrm{x}

∴y⋅sec⁡x=∫{2+sec⁡x(1+2sec⁡x)2}sec⁡xdx\therefore \mathbf{y} \cdot \sec x=\int\left\{\frac{2+\sec x}{(1+2 \sec x)^{2}}\right\} \sec x d x

=∫2cos⁡x+1(cos⁡x+2)2dx=\int \frac{2 \cos x+1}{(\cos x+2)^{2}} d x Let cos⁡x=1−t21+t2\cos x=\frac{1-t^{2}}{1+t^{2}}

=∫2(1−t21+t2)+1(1−t21+t2+2)22dt=\int \frac{2\left(\frac{1-t^{2}}{1+t^{2}}\right)+1}{\left(\frac{1-t^{2}}{1+t^{2}}+2\right)^{2}} 2 d t

=∫2−2t2+1+t2(1−t2+2+2t2)2×2dt=\int \frac{2-2 t^{2}+1+t^{2}}{\left(1-t^{2}+2+2 t^{2}\right)^{2}} \times 2 d t

=2∫3−t2(t2+3)2dt=2 \int \frac{3-t^{2}}{\left(t^{2}+3\right)^{2}} d t

Let t+3t=u\mathrm{t}+\frac{3}{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{u}

(1−3t2)dt=du\left(1-\frac{3}{\mathrm{t}^{2}}\right) \mathrm{dt}=\mathrm{du}

=−2∫duu2=-2 \int \frac{\mathrm{du}}{\mathrm{u}^{2}} y⋅(sec⁡x)=2u+cy⋅sec⁡x=2t+3t+c\begin{aligned} & y \cdot(\sec x)=\frac{2}{u}+c \\ & y \cdot \sec x=\frac{2}{t+\frac{3}{t}}+c \end{aligned} At x=π3,t=tan⁡x2=13\mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{3}, \mathrm{t}=\tan \frac{\mathrm{x}}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}

  1. 310=213+33+c\frac{\sqrt{3}}{10}=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+3 \sqrt{3}}+c

  2. 310=2310+c⇒C=0\frac{\sqrt{3}}{10}=\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{10}+\mathrm{c} \Rightarrow \mathrm{C}=0

At x=π4,t=tan⁡x2=2−1x=\frac{\pi}{4}, t=\tan \frac{x}{2}=\sqrt{2}-1

∴y⋅2=22−1+32−1\therefore \mathrm{y} \cdot \sqrt{2}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}-1+\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}-1}}

y. 2=2(2−1)6−22\sqrt{2}=\frac{2(\sqrt{2}-1)}{6-2 \sqrt{2}}

y=2(2−1)2(3−2)=12×22−17y=\frac{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1)}{2(3-\sqrt{2})}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{2 \sqrt{2}-1}{7}

=4−214=\frac{4-\sqrt{2}}{14}
