Question 67

The integral $$\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \tan^3 x \cdot \sin^2 3x(2\sec^2 x \cdot \sin^2 3x + 3\tan x \cdot \sin 6x)dx$$ is equal to:

We have to evaluate the definite integral

$$I=\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\tan^{3}x\;\sin^{2}3x\;\bigl(2\sec^{2}x\;\sin^{2}3x+3\tan x\;\sin 6x\bigr)\;dx.$$

The expression inside the integral looks as if it might be the product of some function and its derivative. So we try to create a single simple function whose derivative reproduces the bracket.

Let us define

$$u=\tan^{2}x\;\sin^{2}3x.$$

Before using this substitution, we carefully find its derivative with respect to $$x$$. We use the product rule and the standard derivatives

$$\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(\tan x\bigr)=\sec^{2}x, \qquad \frac{d}{dx}\bigl(\sin^{2}3x\bigr)=2\sin 3x\;\cos 3x\;(3)=6\sin 3x\cos 3x=3\sin 6x,$$

because $$\sin 6x=2\sin 3x\cos 3x$$.

Applying the product rule, we get

$$\frac{du}{dx} =\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(\tan^{2}x\bigr)\;\sin^{2}3x+\tan^{2}x\;\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(\sin^{2}3x\bigr) =2\tan x\;\sec^{2}x\;\sin^{2}3x+\tan^{2}x\;(3\sin 6x).$$

So

$$\frac{du}{dx}=2\tan x\sec^{2}x\sin^{2}3x+3\tan^{2}x\sin 6x.$$

Now multiply both sides by $$u=\tan^{2}x\sin^{2}3x$$:

$$u\;\frac{du}{dx} =\bigl(\tan^{2}x\sin^{2}3x\bigr)\Bigl(2\tan x\sec^{2}x\sin^{2}3x+3\tan^{2}x\sin 6x\Bigr).$$

Carry out the multiplication term by term:

$$\displaystyle u\;\frac{du}{dx} =2\tan^{3}x\;\sec^{2}x\;\sin^{4}3x +3\tan^{4}x\;\sin^{2}3x\;\sin 6x. $$

Compare this with the integrand:

$$\tan^{3}x\;\sin^{2}3x\;\bigl(2\sec^{2}x\;\sin^{2}3x+3\tan x\;\sin 6x\bigr) =2\tan^{3}x\;\sec^{2}x\;\sin^{4}3x +3\tan^{4}x\;\sin^{2}3x\;\sin 6x.$$

The two expressions are exactly the same. Therefore

$$\tan^{3}x\;\sin^{2}3x\;\bigl(2\sec^{2}x\;\sin^{2}3x+3\tan x\;\sin 6x\bigr)=u\;\frac{du}{dx}.$$

Hence, inside our integral, $$dx$$ times the integrand becomes $$u\,du$$:

$$I=\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}u\;\frac{du}{dx}\;dx=\int_{u(x=\frac{\pi}{6})}^{u(x=\frac{\pi}{3})}u\;du.$$

We now evaluate the new limits. First for $$x=\frac{\pi}{6}$$:

$$\tan\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3},\qquad \tan^{2}\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac13,\qquad \sin 3\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\sin\frac{\pi}{2}=1,\qquad \sin^{2}\frac{\pi}{2}=1.$$

Thus

$$u\Bigl(\tfrac{\pi}{6}\Bigr)=\frac13\cdot1=\frac13.$$

Next for $$x=\frac{\pi}{3}$$:

$$\tan\frac{\pi}{3}=\sqrt3,\qquad \tan^{2}\frac{\pi}{3}=3,\qquad \sin 3\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\sin\pi=0,\qquad \sin^{2}\pi=0.$$

Hence

$$u\Bigl(\tfrac{\pi}{3}\Bigr)=3\cdot0=0.$$

So the integral becomes

$$I=\int_{\frac13}^{0}u\;du.$$

We know the elementary integral

$$\int u\;du=\frac{u^{2}}{2}.$$

Applying the limits:

$$I=\left.\frac{u^{2}}{2}\right|_{u=\frac13}^{u=0} =\frac{0^{2}}{2}-\frac{\left(\frac13\right)^{2}}{2} =0-\frac{\frac19}{2} =-\frac{1}{18}.$$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
