The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$\int\limits_{1}^{x} \frac{d t}{|t| \sqrt{t^{2}-1}}=\frac{\pi}{6}$
$\Rightarrow \left[\sec ^{-1} t\right]_{1}^{x}=\frac{\pi}{6}$
$\Rightarrow \sec ^{-1} x-\sec ^{-1} 1=\frac{\pi}{6}$
$\Rightarrow \sec ^{-1} x- 0=\frac{\pi}{6}$
$\Rightarrow x=\sec \frac{\pi}{6}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
