Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #169

Evaluate \(\int_0^\pi x\sin x/(1+3\cos^2x)dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: π²/(3√3)
  1. Reflection gives I=(π/2)J, where J=∫₀^πsin x/(1+3cos²x)dx.
  2. Set u=cos x, obtaining J=∫₋₁¹du/(1+3u²)=[arctan(√3u)/√3]₋₁¹.
  3. Thus J=2π/(3√3), so I=π²/(3√3)=√3π²/9.
  4. Therefore the integral equals π²/(3√3).

  • [0.5 marks] Reflection gives I=(π/2)J, where J=∫₀^πsin x/(1+3cos²x)dx.
  • [1 mark] Set u=cos x, obtaining J=∫₋₁¹du/(1+3u²)=[arctan(√3u)/√3]₋₁¹.
  • [1 mark] Thus J=2π/(3√3), so I=π²/(3√3)=√3π²/9.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the integral equals π²/(3√3).
