Solve any one of the following.

Evaluate: ∫ (cos x)/(3cos x - 5) dx

Evaluate: $\int \frac{\cos x}{3\cos x - 5}\,dx$

Answer

Answer

Integral: $\int \left(cos(x)/(3cos(x)-5)\right) dx$

$\frac{\cos x}{3\cos x-5}=\frac13+\frac{5}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{3\cos x-5}$. Put $t=\tan\frac x2$: $\cos x=\frac{1-t^2}{1+t^2}$, $dx=\frac{2\,dt}{1+t^2}$, $3\cos x-5=-\frac{2+8t^2}{1+t^2}$. $\int\frac{dx}{3\cos x-5}=-\int\frac{dt}{1+4t^2}=-\frac12\tan^{-1}(2t)$.

Final answer: $\frac x3-\frac56\tan^{-1}\left(2\tan\frac x2\right)+C$
