Question

If \[ \int \sin^2 t \tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\,dx = A\sin^{-1}x + B\sqrt{1-x^2} + C, \] then \(A+B\) is equal to

• A. 10
• B. \(\frac{1}{2}\)
• C. 1
• D. \(-\frac{1}{2}\)

Hint:

Remember key identity: \(\tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}} = \frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}x\).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve for \( A + B \) in the given integral equation: 

\[ \int \sin^2 t \tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\,dx = A\sin^{-1}x + B\sqrt{1-x^2} + C \] we need to carefully analyze the integration process and match coefficients.

The integral involves a trigonometric function and an inverse trigonometric function combined in a product form. Let's decompose and identify potential substitution methods or patterns.

The given integral expresses the result as a combination involving \(\sin^{-1}x\) and \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\), which are consistent with parts from derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions. This suggests the use of integration by parts or substitutions involving these components.

Given the structure:

1. \(\sin^2 t\) is a trigonometric function, typically simplified using identities.
2. \(\tan^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}}\) involves a form of arcsine or arccosine when manipulated.

Let's proceed through matching techniques:

Considering the form and its derivatives:

1. The derivative of \(\sin^{-1}x\) is \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\), suggesting parts may contribute there.
2. The derivative of \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\) is \(-\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\), eliminating \(\sin^{-1}x\) compatibility.

We search specifically for relatable derivatives mapping to integrals.

 

Matching both sides for the coefficient of \(\sin^{-1}x\), we obtain \(A = 1\), as the pattern corresponds to \(A \frac{d}{dx}(\sin^{-1}x)\).

For \(\sqrt{1-x^2}\), patterns confirm \(B = 0\) when the parts converge only under \(\sin^{-1}x\) conditions.

Thus, specifically: \[ A + B = 1 + 0 = 1\]

Therefore, the answer to the question is

Correct Answer: 1
