\( = \log t + \frac{6}{t} - \frac{6}{t^2} + \frac{8}{3t^3} + C \)
\( = \log|x+2| + \frac{6}{x+2} - \frac{6}{(x+2)^2} + \frac{8}{3(x+2)^3} + C \)

Answer: Let \( I = \int \frac{\tan^2 x \cdot \sec^2 x}{1 - \tan^6 x} \, dx \)
Let \( \tan^3 x = t \)
\( \Rightarrow 3\tan^2 x \sec^2 x \, dx = dt \Rightarrow \tan^2 x \sec^2 x \, dx = \frac{1}{3} \, dt \)

Let \( \frac{1}{(1+t)(2+t)} = \frac{A}{1+t} + \frac{B}{2+t} \)      ...(i)
\( \dots \frac{1}{(1+t)(2+t)} = \frac{A(2+t) + B(1+t)}{(1+t)(2+t)} \)
\( \Rightarrow 1 = 2A + tA + B + tB \Rightarrow 1 = (2A + B) + t(A + B) \)
On comparing the coefficients of \( t \) and constant terms from both sides, we get:
\( 2A + B = 1 \) and \( A + B = 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow A = 1 \) and \( B = -1 \)
\( \dots I = \int \left( \frac{1}{1+t} - \frac{1}{2+t} \right) \, dt \)

Again, let \( \frac{4}{(x-2)(x^2 + 4)} = \frac{A}{x-2} + \frac{Bx + C}{x^2 + 4} \)
\( \Rightarrow 4 = A(x^2 + 4) + (Bx + C)(x - 2) \)
\( \Rightarrow 4 = x^2(A + B) + x(-2B + C) + 4A - 2C \)
On equating the coefficients of \( x^2, x \) and constant terms from both sides, we get:
\( A + B = 0 \)      ...(i)
\( -2B + C = 0 \)      ...(ii)
\( 4A - 2C = 4 \)      ...(iii)

Long Answer Type Questions

Question. Evaluate \(\int \cos 2x \cos 4x \cos 6x dx\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int \cos 2x \cos 4x \cos 6x \, dx\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} \int (2 \cos 4x \cos 2x) \cos 6x \, dx\)
Using \(2 \cos A \cos B = \cos(A+B) + \cos(A-B)\):
\(I = \frac{1}{2} \int [\cos(4x+2x) + \cos(4x-2x)] \cos 6x \, dx\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} \int (\cos 6x + \cos 2x) \cos 6x \, dx\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} \int (\cos^2 6x + \cos 6x \cos 2x) \, dx\)
\(= \frac{1}{4} \int (2\cos^2 6x + 2\cos 6x \cos 2x) \, dx\)
Using \(2\cos^2 \theta = 1 + \cos 2\theta\) and \(2\cos A \cos B = \cos(A+B) + \cos(A-B)\):
\(I = \frac{1}{4} \int (1 + \cos 12x + \cos 8x + \cos 4x) \, dx\)
\(= \frac{1}{4} \left[ x + \frac{\sin 12x}{12} + \frac{\sin 8x}{8} + \frac{\sin 4x}{4} \right] + C\)
\(= \frac{x}{4} + \frac{\sin 12x}{48} + \frac{\sin 8x}{32} + \frac{\sin 4x}{16} + C\)

Question. Evaluate \(\int \frac{\sin^6 x + \cos^6 x}{\sin^2 x \cos^2 x} dx\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int \frac{\sin^6 x + \cos^6 x}{\sin^2 x \cos^2 x} dx\)
Since \(\sin^6 x + \cos^6 x = (\sin^2 x)^3 + (\cos^2 x)^3 = (\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x)^3 - 3 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x (\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x)\)
Using \(\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1\), we have:
\(\sin^6 x + \cos^6 x = 1 - 3 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x\)
Therefore, \(I = \int \frac{1 - 3 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x \cos^2 x} dx\)
\(= \int \frac{1}{\sin^2 x \cos^2 x} dx - 3 \int 1 \, dx\)
\(= \int \frac{\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x \cos^2 x} dx - 3x\)
\(= \int (\sec^2 x + \csc^2 x) dx - 3x\)
\(= \tan x - \cot x - 3x + C\)

Question. Evaluate \(\int \frac{dx}{a^2 \sin^2 x + b^2 \cos^2 x}\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int \frac{dx}{a^2 \sin^2 x + b^2 \cos^2 x}\).
Dividing the numerator and the denominator by \(\cos^2 x\), we get:
\(I = \int \frac{\sec^2 x}{a^2 \tan^2 x + b^2} dx = \int \frac{\sec^2 x}{(a \tan x)^2 + b^2} dx\)
Put \(a \tan x = t \Rightarrow a \sec^2 x \, dx = dt \Rightarrow \sec^2 x \, dx = \frac{dt}{a}\).
Now, \(I = \frac{1}{a} \int \frac{dt}{t^2 + b^2} = \frac{1}{ab} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{b}\right) + C = \frac{1}{ab} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{a \tan x}{b}\right) + C\)

Question. Find \(\int \frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+2)(x^2+1)} dx\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int \frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+2)(x^2+1)} dx\).
Using partial fractions:
\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+2)(x^2+1)} = \frac{A}{x+2} + \frac{Bx+C}{x^2+1}\)
\(\Rightarrow x^2 + x + 1 = A(x^2+1) + (Bx+C)(x+2)\)
Putting \(x = -2\) in this identity:
\(4 - 2 + 1 = A(5) \Rightarrow 5A = 3 \Rightarrow A = \frac{3}{5}\).
Putting \(x = 0\):
\(1 = A + 2C \Rightarrow 1 = \frac{3}{5} + 2C \Rightarrow 2C = \frac{2}{5} \Rightarrow C = \frac{1}{5}\).
Putting \(x = 1\):
\(3 = 2A + 3(B+C) \Rightarrow 3 = 2\left(\frac{3}{5}\right) + 3\left(B + \frac{1}{5}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow 3 = \frac{6}{5} + 3B + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{9}{5} + 3B \Rightarrow 3B = \frac{6}{5} \Rightarrow B = \frac{2}{5}\).
Thus, \(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+2)(x^2+1)} = \frac{3}{5(x+2)} + \frac{2x+1}{5(x^2+1)}\).
Therefore, \(I = \frac{3}{5} \int \frac{dx}{x+2} + \frac{1}{5} \int \frac{2x}{x^2+1} dx + \frac{1}{5} \int \frac{dx}{x^2+1}\)
\(= \frac{3}{5} \log|x+2| + \frac{1}{5} \log(x^2+1) + \frac{1}{5} \tan^{-1} x + C\)

Question. Evaluate \(\int \frac{x}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} dx\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int \frac{x}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} dx\).
Using partial fractions:
\(\frac{x}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} = \frac{A}{x-1} + \frac{Bx+C}{x^2+1}\)
\(\Rightarrow x = A(x^2+1) + (Bx+C)(x-1)\)
Putting \(x = 1\):
\(1 = 2A \Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{2}\).
Equating the coefficients of \(x^2\) and constant terms:
\(0 = A + B \Rightarrow B = -A = -\frac{1}{2}\).
\(0 = A - C \Rightarrow C = A = \frac{1}{2}\).
Thus, \(\frac{x}{(x^2+1)(x-1)} = \frac{1}{2(x-1)} + \frac{-x+1}{2(x^2+1)}\).
Therefore, \(I = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{dx}{x-1} - \frac{1}{4} \int \frac{2x}{x^2+1} dx + \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{dx}{x^2+1}\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} \log|x-1| - \frac{1}{4} \log(x^2+1) + \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1} x + C\)

Question. Find \(\int \frac{\sec x}{1 + \csc x} dx\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int \frac{\sec x}{1 + \csc x} dx = \int \frac{\frac{1}{\cos x}}{1 + \frac{1}{\sin x}} dx = \int \frac{\sin x}{\cos x (1 + \sin x)} dx\)
Multiplying the numerator and the denominator by \(\cos x\):
\(I = \int \frac{\sin x \cos x}{\cos^2 x (1+\sin x)} dx = \int \frac{\sin x \cos x}{(1-\sin^2 x)(1+\sin x)} dx = \int \frac{\sin x \cos x}{(1-\sin x)(1+\sin x)^2} dx\)
Put \(\sin x = t \Rightarrow \cos x \, dx = dt\).
So, \(I = \int \frac{t}{(1-t)(1+t)^2} dt\).
Using partial fractions:
\(\frac{t}{(1-t)(1+t)^2} = \frac{A}{1+t} + \frac{B}{(1+t)^2} + \frac{C}{1-t}\)
\(\Rightarrow t = A(1+t)(1-t) + B(1-t) + C(1+t)^2\)
Putting \(t = -1\):
\(-1 = 2B \Rightarrow B = -\frac{1}{2}\).
Putting \(t = 1\):
\(1 = 4C \Rightarrow C = \frac{1}{4}\).
Putting \(t = 0\):
\(0 = A + B + C \Rightarrow A = -B - C = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\).
Thus, \(I = \frac{1}{4} \int \frac{dt}{1+t} - \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{dt}{(1+t)^2} + \frac{1}{4} \int \frac{dt}{1-t}\)
\(= \frac{1}{4} \log|1+t| + \frac{1}{2(1+t)} - \frac{1}{4} \log|1-t| + C\)
Replacing \(t = \sin x\):
\(I = \frac{1}{4} \log|1+\sin x| + \frac{1}{2(1+\sin x)} - \frac{1}{4} \log|1-\sin x| + C\)

Question. Evaluate \(\int e^{ax} \sin bx \, dx\)
Answer: Let \(I = \int e^{ax} \sin bx \, dx\) — (i)
Integrating by parts taking \(\sin bx\) as the first function:
\(I = \sin bx \left( \frac{e^{ax}}{a} \right) - \int b \cos bx \left( \frac{e^{ax}}{a} \right) dx\)
\(I = \frac{e^{ax} \sin bx}{a} - \frac{b}{a} \int e^{ax} \cos bx \, dx\)
Integrating by parts again:
\(\int e^{ax} \cos bx \, dx = \cos bx \left( \frac{e^{ax}}{a} \right) - \int -b \sin bx \left( \frac{e^{ax}}{a} \right) dx = \frac{e^{ax} \cos bx}{a} + \frac{b}{a} I\)
Substituting this back into the expression for \(I\):
\(I = \frac{e^{ax} \sin bx}{a} - \frac{b}{a} \left[ \frac{e^{ax} \cos bx}{a} + \frac{b}{a} I \right]\)
\(I = \frac{e^{ax} \sin bx}{a} - \frac{b e^{ax} \cos bx}{a^2} - \frac{b^2}{a^2} I\)
\(I \left(1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}\right) = \frac{e^{ax}}{a^2} [a\sin bx - b\cos bx]\)
\(I \left( \frac{a^2+b^2}{a^2} \right) = \frac{e^{ax}}{a^2} [a\sin bx - b\cos bx]\)
\(I = \frac{e^{ax}}{a^2+b^2} [a\sin bx - b\cos bx] + C\)
