Correct answer: D

We need to interpret the given integral carefully.

The expression appears to mean

∫esec⁡x(sec⁡xtan⁡x f(x)+sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x) dx=esec⁡xf(x)+C.\int e^{\sec x}\Big(\sec x\tan x\,f(x)+\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 x\Big)\,dx = e^{\sec x}f(x)+C.∫esecx(secxtanxf(x)+secxtanx+sec2x)dx=esecxf(x)+C.

So the integrand must be the derivative of esec⁡xf(x)e^{\sec x}f(x)esecxf(x).


1. Differentiate the RHS

Using the product rule,

ddx(esec⁡xf(x))=esec⁡x⋅ddx(sec⁡x) f(x)+esec⁡xf′(x).\frac{d}{dx}\big(e^{\sec x}f(x)\big) = e^{\sec x}\cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sec x)\,f(x)+e^{\sec x}f'(x).dxd​(esecxf(x))=esecx⋅dxd​(secx)f(x)+esecxf′(x).

Since

ddx(sec⁡x)=sec⁡xtan⁡x,\frac{d}{dx}(\sec x)=\sec x\tan x,dxd​(secx)=secxtanx,

we get

ddx(esec⁡xf(x))=esec⁡x(sec⁡xtan⁡x f(x)+f′(x)).\frac{d}{dx}\big(e^{\sec x}f(x)\big) = e^{\sec x}\Big(\sec x\tan x\,f(x)+f'(x)\Big).dxd​(esecxf(x))=esecx(secxtanxf(x)+f′(x)).

This must equal the given integrand:

esec⁡x(sec⁡xtan⁡x f(x)+sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x).e^{\sec x}\Big(\sec x\tan x\,f(x)+\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 x\Big).esecx(secxtanxf(x)+secxtanx+sec2x).

Hence,

f′(x)=sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x.f'(x)=\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 x.f′(x)=secxtanx+sec2x.

2. Integrate to find f(x)f(x)f(x)

Now,

f(x)=∫(sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x) dx.f(x)=\int (\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 x)\,dx.f(x)=∫(secxtanx+sec2x)dx.

Using standard results,

∫sec⁡xtan⁡x dx=sec⁡x,∫sec⁡2x dx=tan⁡x.\int \sec x\tan x\,dx=\sec x, \qquad \int \sec^2 x\,dx=\tan x.∫secxtanxdx=secx,∫sec2xdx=tanx.

Therefore,

f(x)=sec⁡x+tan⁡x+C.f(x)=\sec x+\tan x+C.f(x)=secx+tanx+C.

So a possible choice is any function of the form

sec⁡x+tan⁡x+constant.\sec x+\tan x+\text{constant}.secx+tanx+constant.

3. Match with the options

Check the options:

  • A: xsec⁡x+tan⁡x+12x\sec x+\tan x+\frac12xsecx+tanx+21​
    Derivative is not sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 xsecxtanx+sec2x.

  • B: sec⁡x+xtan⁡x−12\sec x+x\tan x-\frac12secx+xtanx−21​
    Derivative is not sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 xsecxtanx+sec2x.

  • C: sec⁡x−tan⁡x−12\sec x-\tan x-\frac12secx−tanx−21​
    Derivative is sec⁡xtan⁡x−sec⁡2x\sec x\tan x-\sec^2 xsecxtanx−sec2x, not correct.

  • D: sec⁡x+tan⁡x+12\sec x+\tan x+\frac12secx+tanx+21​
    Derivative is

    sec⁡xtan⁡x+sec⁡2x,\sec x\tan x+\sec^2 x,secxtanx+sec2x,

    which matches.

Hence the possible choice is

sec⁡x+tan⁡x+12.\boxed{\sec x+\tan x+\frac12}.secx+tanx+21​​.

So Option D is correct.


4. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D
Derived answer: D

They agree.
