The correct answer is: $-\frac{2}{b^{2}}$
$\int \frac{\sin 2 x}{(a+b \cos x)^{2}} d x$
Put $a+b \cos x=t$
$-b \sin x d x=d t$
$=\int \frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{t^{2}} \cdot \frac{d t}{-b \sin x}=\int \frac{-2}{b} \cdot\left(\frac{t-a}{b}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{t^{2}} d t=\frac{-2}{b^{2}} \int\left(\frac{1}{t}-\frac{a}{t^{2}}\right) d t \quad \therefore \alpha=\frac{-2}{b^{2}}$
$=-\frac{2}{b^{2}}\left[\ln |t|+\frac{a}{t}\right]+c$
$=\frac{-2}{b^{2}}\left[\ln |a+b \cos x|+\frac{a}{a+b \cos x}\right]+c$
