As learnt in concept

Integration of trigonometric function of power m -

\int tan^{m}xdx , \int cot^{m}xdx

 

 

- wherein

for m=2

use tan^{2}x=sec^{2}x-1  , cot^{2}x=cosec^{2}x-1

 

 I_{n} =\int \left ( \tan ^{n} \: x\right )dx

I_{4}+I_{6}=\int \left ( \tan ^{4}x+\tan ^{6}x \right )dx

=\int \tan ^{4}x\left ( 1+\tan ^{2}x \right )dx

=\int \tan ^{4}x.\sec ^{2}x\: dx

=\frac{\tan ^{5}x}{5}+C

Here a=\frac{1}{5} 

b = 0

 


Option 1)

\left ( \frac{1}{5} ,0\right )

Correct option

Option 2)

\left ( \frac{1}{5} ,-1\right )

Incorrect option    

Option 3)

\left ( -\frac{1}{5} ,0\right )

Incorrect option
