Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #93

Evaluate \(\int_0^\pi4x\sin x/(1+\cos^2x)dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: π²
  1. Let I be the integral. Reflect x↦π−x; sine and cos² are unchanged, giving I=∫₀^π4(π−x)sin x/(1+cos²x)dx.
  2. Add the equations: 2I=4π∫₀^πsin x/(1+cos²x)dx.
  3. With u=cos x, the remaining integral is ∫₋₁¹du/(1+u²)=π/2, so I=π².
  4. Therefore the integral equals π².

  • [0.5 marks] Let I be the integral. Reflect x↦π−x; sine and cos² are unchanged, giving I=∫₀^π4(π−x)sin x/(1+cos²x)dx.
  • [1 mark] Add the equations: 2I=4π∫₀^πsin x/(1+cos²x)dx.
  • [1 mark] With u=cos x, the remaining integral is ∫₋₁¹du/(1+u²)=π/2, so I=π².
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the integral equals π².
