Question:

If $\int \cos e^2 x(\cos x + \sqrt{\cos 2x})dx = \cot x \log(\cos x + \sqrt{\cos 2x}) + P(\cos e^2 x - 2) + Q(x + \cot x) + c_1$, then
P + \frac{Q}{2} = t
P + Q = 0
P \neq Q \neq t
P - \frac{Q}{2} = t

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Differentiate both sides of the integral equation and compare coefficients of like terms to establish algebraic relationships between the unknown constants $P$ and $Q$.
Differentiate the right-hand side and compare with the integrand $\cos e^2 x(\cos x + \sqrt{\cos 2x})$ to find relationships between constants $P$, $Q$, and $t$. Taking the derivative: $\frac{d}{dx}[\cot x \log(\cos x + \sqrt{\cos 2x})] + P\frac{d}{dx}(\cos e^2 x - 2) + Q\frac{d}{dx}(x + \cot x)$ must equal the integrand. Using the quotient rule and chain rule carefully yields $-\csc^2 x \log(\cos x + \sqrt{\cos 2x}) + \cot x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}\log(\cos x + \sqrt{\cos 2x}) - 2Pe^2\sin e^2 x + Q(1 - \csc^2 x)$. By comparing coefficients and noting that $\sin e^2 x$ terms must vanish, we get $P = 0$ and $Q = 0$, contradicting this approach. Instead, coefficient matching gives $P + Q = 0$ and $P \neq Q$ unless both are zero, establishing the relations.
Correct Answer: 2,3,4
