# ∫ 1 Sin X ( 3 + 2 Cos X ) D X - Mathematics

Sum
$\int\frac{1}{\sin x \left( 3 + 2 \cos x \right)} dx$

#### Solution

We have,
$I = \int\frac{dx}{\sin x \left( 3 + 2 \cos x \right)}$
$= \int\frac{\sin x dx}{\sin^2 x \left( 3 + 2 \cos x \right)}$
$= \int\frac{\sin x dx}{\left( 1 - \cos^2 x \right) \left( 3 + 2 \cos x \right)}$
$= \int\frac{\sin x dx}{\left( 1 - \cos x \right) \left( 1 + \cos x \right) \left( 3 + 2 \cos x \right)}$
$\text{Putting }\cos x = t$
$\Rightarrow - \sin x dx = dt$
$\Rightarrow \sin x dx = - dt$
$\therefore I = \int\frac{- dt}{\left( 1 - t \right) \left( 1 + t \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right)}$
$= \int\frac{dt}{\left( t - 1 \right) \left( t + 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right)}$
$\text{Let }\frac{1}{\left( t - 1 \right) \left( t + 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right)} = \frac{A}{t - 1} + \frac{B}{t + 1} + \frac{C}{3 + 2t}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\left( t - 1 \right) \left( t + 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right)} = \frac{A \left( t + 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right) + B \left( t - 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right) + C \left( t + 1 \right) \left( t - 1 \right)}{\left( t - 1 \right) \left( t + 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right)}$
$\Rightarrow 1 = A \left( t + 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right) + B \left( t - 1 \right) \left( 3 + 2t \right) + C \left( t + 1 \right) \left( t - 1 \right)$
$\text{Putting t + 1 = 0}$
$\Rightarrow t = - 1$
$1 = A \times 0 + B \left( - 2 \right) \left( 3 - 2 \right) + C \times 0$
$\Rightarrow 1 = B \left( - 2 \right)$
$\Rightarrow B = - \frac{1}{2}$
$\text{Putting t - 1 = 0}$
$\Rightarrow t = 1$
$1 = A \left( 2 \right) \left( 5 \right) + B \times 0 + C \times 0$
$\Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{10}$
$\text{Putting 3 + 2t = 0}$
$\Rightarrow t = - \frac{3}{2}$
$1 = A \times 0 + B \times 0 + C \left( - \frac{3}{2} + 1 \right) \left( - \frac{3}{2} - 1 \right)$
$\Rightarrow 1 = C \left( - \frac{1}{2} \right) \left( - \frac{5}{2} \right)$
$C = \frac{4}{5}$
Then,
$I = \frac{1}{10}\int\frac{dt}{t - 1} - \frac{1}{2}\int\frac{dt}{t + 1} + \frac{4}{5}\int\frac{dt}{3 + 2t}$
$= \frac{1}{10} \log \left| t - 1 \right| - \frac{1}{2} \log \left| t + 1 \right| + \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{\log \left| 3 + 2t \right|}{2} + C$
$= \frac{1}{10} \log \left| t - 1 \right| - \frac{1}{2} \log \left| t + 1 \right| + \frac{2}{5}\log \left| 3 + 2t \right| + C$
$= \frac{1}{10} \log \left| \cos x - 1 \right| - \frac{1}{2} \log \left| \cos x + 1 \right| + \frac{2}{5} \log \left| 3 + 2 \cos x \right| + C$
