^{99}(\cos x)^{-101} d x=_{-} \ldots-C_{ } \)

\( \int(\sin x)^{99}(\cos x)^{-101} d x=_{-} \ldots-C_{ } \)

  • A. \( \frac{(\tan x)^{100}}{100} \)
  • B. \( \frac{(\tan x)^{2}}{2} \)
  • C. \( \frac{(\tan x)^{98}}{98} \)
  • D. \( \frac{(\tan x)^{97}}{97} \)

Step-by-step solution

Rewrite the integrand as \(\tan^{99} x \sec^2 x\). Substitute \(u = \tan x\), \(du = \sec^2 x\,dx\), giving \(\int u^{99} du = \frac{u^{100}}{100} + C = \frac{(\tan x)^{100}}{100} + C\).
