Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #66

Evaluate \(\int_0^{\pi/4}\ln(1+\tan x)dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (π/8)ln2
  1. Let I be the integral. Reflect x↦π/4−x without changing its value.
  2. Since 1+tan(π/4−x)=2/(1+tan x), the reflected integrand is ln2−ln(1+tan x).
  3. Adding the two representations gives 2I=∫₀^(π/4)ln2 dx=(π/4)ln2.
  4. Therefore the integral equals (π/8)ln2.
