### Related Formula textWhen powers of sine and cosine add up to a negative even integer, extract sec^2 x text and substitute tan x = t ### Core Logic Integral: I = int sin^-11/2 x cos^-5/2 x \, dx The sum of powers is -frac112 - frac52 = -8. Convert the integrand entirely into terms of tan x and sec x by dividing and multiplying by cos^-11/2 x. I = int left(fracsin xcos xright)^-11/2 cos^-11/2 x cos^-5/2 x \, dx I = int (tan x)^-11/2 (cos x)^-8 \, dx I = int (tan x)^-11/2 sec^8 x \, dx ### Step 1: Integration by Substitution Rewrite sec^8 x = (sec^2 x)^3 sec^2 x = (1 + tan^2 x)^3 sec^2 x. I = int (tan x)^-11/2 (1 + tan^2 x)^3 sec^2 x \, dx Substitute t = tan x implies dt = sec^2 x \, dx. I = int t^-11/2 (1 + t^2)^3 \, dt Expand (1 + t^2)^3 = 1 + 3t^2 + 3t^4 + t^6. I = int t^-11/2 (1 + 3t^2 + 3t^4 + t^6) \, dt I = int (t^-11/2 + 3t^-7/2 + 3t^-3/2 + t^1/2) \, dt ### Step 2: Evaluating the Anti-derivatives Integrate term by term: I = fract^-9/2-9/2 + 3fract^-5/2-5/2 + 3fract^-1/2-1/2 + fract^3/23/2 + C I = -frac29t^-9/2 - frac65t^-5/2 - 6t^-1/2 + frac23t^3/2 + C Substitute back t = tan x = frac1cot x, which implies t^-a = (cot x)^a. I = -frac29(cot x)^9/2 - frac65(cot x)^5/2 - frac61(cot x)^1/2 + frac23(cot x)^-3/2 + C ### Step 3: Variable Assignment Comparing with -fracp_1q_1(cot x)^9/2 - fracp_2q_2(cot x)^5/2 - fracp_3q_3(cot x)^1/2 + fracp_4q_4(cot x)^-3/2: p_1 = 2, q_1 = 9 p_2 = 6, q_2 = 5 p_3 = 6, q_3 = 1 p_4 = 2, q_4 = 3 Calculate frac15 p_1 p_2 p_3 p_4q_1 q_2 q_3 q_4: = frac15(2)(6)(6)(2)(9)(5)(1)(3) = frac15 times 144135 = frac2160135 = 16 ### Pattern Recognition If int sin^m x cos^n x \,dx has m+n as a negative even integer, unconditionally extract sec^|m+n|x and set tan x = t. The expansion expands gracefully into polynomial power rules without any trig substitution hassle. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Indefinite Integration

Let (a, b) be the point of intersection of the curve x^2 = 2y and the straight line y - 2x - 6 = 0 in the second quadrant. Then the integral I = int_a^b frac9x^21 + 5^x \, dx is equal to:
  • A. 24
  • B. 27
  • C. 18
  • D. 21

Solution

### Related Formula textKing's Property: int_a^b f(x) dx = int_a^b f(a+b-x) dx ### Core Logic First, we find the coordinates of intersection in the second quadrant to determine the integration limits a and b. ### Step 1: Find points of intersection Substitute y = fracx^22 into the line equation y - 2x - 6 = 0: fracx^22 - 2x - 6 = 0 implies x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0 (x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 implies x = 6 quad textor quad x = -2 Since the point (a, b) lies in the second quadrant, x must be negative: a = -2 b = 2(a) + 6 = 2(-2) + 6 = 2 Thus, the integration limits are a = -2 and b = 2. ### Step 2: Solve the Integral using King's Property The integral is: I = int_-2^2 frac9x^21 + 5^x dx quad text--- (1) Apply King's property, substituting x to -x (since -2 + 2 - x = -x): I = int_-2^2 frac9(-x)^21 + 5^-x dx = int_-2^2 frac9x^2 cdot 5^x1 + 5^x dx quad text--- (2) Adding equations (1) and (2): 2I = int_-2^2 9x^2 left( frac1 + 5^x1 + 5^x right) dx = int_-2^2 9x^2 dx Since 9x^2 is an even function: 2I = 2 int_0^2 9x^2 dx implies I = left[ 3x^3 right]_0^2 = 3(8) - 0 = 24 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see an exponential denominator like 1 + c^x inside a symmetric interval definite integral [-a, a], applying King's property will almost always cancel the exponential factor cleanly when the remaining numerator is even. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus
