Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #170

Evaluate \(\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}2x(1+\sin x)/(1+\cos^2x)dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: π²
  1. Expand into 2x/(1+cos²x)+2x sin x/(1+cos²x). The first term is odd and integrates to zero.
  2. The second is even, so I=4K with K=∫₀^πx sin x/(1+cos²x)dx. Reflection gives K=(π/2)∫₀^πsin x/(1+cos²x)dx.
  3. The last integral is ∫₋₁¹du/(1+u²)=π/2. Hence K=π²/4 and I=π².
  4. Therefore the integral equals π².
