CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Supplementary Paper 65/7/3 · Question 32 (Integrals)

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

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: π².
  1. The term 2x/(1+cos²x) is odd. The remainder is even, giving 4∫₀^π x sin x/(1+cos²x) dx.
  2. The factor sin x/(1+cos²x) is invariant under x↦π−x, so replace x by its paired average π/2.
  3. The result is 2π∫₋₁¹ dt/(1+t²) after t=cos x, giving 2π·π/2=π².
