If cos3xsin11xdx=2Atan9/2x+Btan5/2x+C  then 1A+1B is equal to

Moderate
Solution

We observe that the sum of the exponents of cos x and sinx is32112=4=a ,negative even integer. 

So, we divide numerator and denominator by cos4 x

I=cos3xsin11xdx=cos3/2xsin11/2xdxI=cos3/2x×cos4xsin11/2x×1cos4xdxI=1tan11/2x1+tan2xd(tanx)I=tan11/2x+tan7/2xd(tanx)I=29tan9/2x25tan5/2x+CI=219tan9/2x+15tan5/2x+C

Hence ,A=19 and B=15

1A+1B=14
