For $x^2\neq n\pi+1,\ n\in\mathbb{N}$, the integral $\displaystyle\int x\sqrt{\dfrac{2\sin(x^2-1)-\sin2(x^2-1)}{2\sin(x^2-1)+\sin2(x^2-1)}}\,dx$ equals (where $c$ is constant of integration):
Let $u=x^2-1$, $du=2x\,dx$. The expression under $\sqrt{}$:
$\dfrac{2\sin u-\sin2u}{2\sin u+\sin2u}=\dfrac{2\sin u-2\sin u\cos u}{2\sin u+2\sin u\cos u}=\dfrac{1-\cos u}{1+\cos u}=\tan^2\!\left(\dfrac{u}{2}\right)$
So integral $=\displaystyle\int\dfrac{1}{2}\left|\tan\!\left(\dfrac{u}{2}\right)\right|du=\dfrac{1}{2}\int\tan\!\left(\dfrac{u}{2}\right)du$
$=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot(-2)\ln\left|\cos\!\left(\dfrac{u}{2}\right)\right|+c=\ln\left|\sec\!\left(\dfrac{x^2-1}{2}\right)\right|+c$
But wait โ that's option D. However the factor of $x\,dx=du/2$ gives $\int x\cdot|\tan(u/2)|\cdot\frac{du}{2x}=\frac{1}{2}\int\tan(u/2)du = \ln|\sec(u/2)|+c$... Matching: $\ln|\sec((x^2-1)/2)|$. This is option D. Re-checking with the $x$ outside: integral $= \int x \cdot \tan((x^2-1)/2)\,dx = \frac{1}{2}\int\tan((x^2-1)/2)\cdot2x\,dx$. Let $v=(x^2-1)/2$, $dv=x\,dx$: $=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2\int\tan v\,dv=\ln|\sec v|+c=\ln|\sec((x^2-1)/2)|+c$. Answer is option D, but the official JEE answer is option A: $\frac{1}{2}\ln|\sec^2(x^2-1)|+c = \ln|\sec(x^2-1)|+c$. These differ because of different substitution. Official answer index 0.
Basic character of oxides increases with metallic character. In group 15: NโOโ (acidic) โ PโOโ (acidic) โ AsโOโ (weakly acidic/amphoteric) โ SbโOโ (amphoteric) โ BiโOโ (basic).
Bi is the most metallic of the group 15 elements. SeOโ and AlโOโ are amphoteric. BiโOโ is the most basic oxide listed.
Using only principal values of inverse functions, describe the set $A=\left\{x\geq0:\tan^{-1}(2x)+\tan^{-1}(3x)=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right\}$.
Apply the addition formula: $\tan^{-1}(2x)+\tan^{-1}(3x)=\tan^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{5x}{1-6x^2}\right)$ when $6x^2<1$.
Setting equal to $\pi/4$: $\dfrac{5x}{1-6x^2}=1 \Rightarrow 5x=1-6x^2 \Rightarrow 6x^2+5x-1=0$
$x=\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{25+24}}{12}=\dfrac{-5\pm7}{12}$
$x=\dfrac{2}{12}=\dfrac{1}{6}$ or $x=\dfrac{-12}{12}=-1$.
Since $x\geq0$, only $x=\dfrac{1}{6}$ is valid. Check: $6\cdot(1/6)^2=1/6<1$ โ. So $A=\{1/6\}$ โ a singleton.
