    If\[\int{\frac{dx}{x\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}}=a\log \left| \frac{\sqrt{(1-{{x}^{3}})}-1}{\sqrt{(1-{{x}^{3}})}+1} \right|}+b,\]then the value of a is

    A)  \[-\frac{1}{3}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    C)  \[-\frac{2}{3}\]

    D)  \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let\[I=\int{\frac{dx}{x\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}}}=\int{\frac{{{x}^{2}}dx}{{{x}^{3}}\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}}}\] Put \[1-{{x}^{3}}={{t}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-3{{x}^{2}}dx=2t\text{ }dt\] \[\Rightarrow \]         \[{{x}^{2}}dx=-\frac{2t}{3}dt\] \[\therefore \] \[I=-\frac{2}{3}\int{\frac{d\,dt}{(1-{{t}^{2}})\sqrt{{{t}^{2}}}}}\] \[=\frac{2}{3}\int{\frac{dt}{{{t}^{2}}-1}}\] \[=\frac{1}{3}\log \left| \frac{t-1}{t+1} \right|+c\] \[=\frac{1}{3}\log \left| \frac{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}-1}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}+1} \right|+b,\] On comparing with a \[\log \left| \frac{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}-1}{\sqrt{1-{{x}^{3}}}+1} \right|+b,\] We get       \[a=1/3\]
