NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.8 Question 7
Evaluate \(\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \tan{\left(x \right)}\, dx\).
💡 Concept Hints
- Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
- Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: \(\frac{\log{\left(2 \right)}}{2}\)
- Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
- Use linearity and the elementary power, logarithm, trigonometric and exponential rules. Where a product x eˣ occurs use integration by parts; for rational terms split off the denominator derivative.
- An antiderivative is F(x)=\(- \log{\left(\left|{\cos{\left(x \right)}}\right| \right)}\).
- At the upper and lower limits, F(b)=\(- \log{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right)}\) and F(a)=\(0\).
- By the fundamental theorem (using one-sided limits for any integrable endpoint), I=F(b)−F(a)=\(\frac{\log{\left(2 \right)}}{2}\).
