Answer»

Correct option is: (B) \(k+\frac{tan3x}{3}\)

Use Integration by Substitution.
Let u=3x, du=3 dx , then \(\rm dx=\dfrac{1}{3} \)

Using u and du above, rewrite ∫ sec2(3x) dx.

\(\\\displaystyle \implies\rm\int \dfrac{\sec^{2}u}{3} \, du\)



\(\\\displaystyle \implies \rm\dfrac{1}{3}\int \sec^{2}u \, du\)


\(\\ \implies \rm \dfrac{\tan u}{3}\)


Substitute u=3x back into the original integral.


\(\\ \implies \rm\dfrac{\tan{3x}}{3}\)

\(\\ \bigstar\quad\boxed{\rm\dfrac{\tan{3x}}{3}+k}\quad\bigstar\)
Hence,Correct option is (B)

Write the number of all possible matrices of order `2xx2`with each entry `1,2,or3.`

Answer» A `2xx2` order matrix will contain `4` elements.
We have to create these matrices using `3` numbers that are `1`,`2` or `3`.
So, total number of all possible matrices are `3^4 = 81`.
Some of the examples of such matrices are,
`[[1,2],[2,3]],[[1,1],[2,2]],[[3,3],[1,1]],`
`[[1,1],[1,1]],[[2,2],[2,2]],[[3,3],[3,3]].`
Similarly, we can create `81` matrices with these three numbers.

Find the general solution of 2cos2x + 3sinx = 0.

Answer»

2cos22x + 3sinx = 0 

2(1 – sin22x) + 3sinx = 0 

2 – 2sin22x + 3sinx = 0 

2sin22x – 3sinx – 2 = 0 

2sin22x – 4sinx + sinx – 2 = 0 

2sin x(sin x – 2)+1 (sinx – 2) = 0 

(sin x – 2)(2sin x + 1) = 0 

sin x – 2 = 0 or 2 sin x + 1 = 0 

sin x = 2 or sin x = -1/2
