∫0π/2sin2x log tanx dx is equal to:
(3)
Ans. 0
Explanation :
I=∫0π/2sin2x log tanx dx ⋯(1)
⇒ I=∫0π/2sin2(π2-x)log tan(π2-x)dx
[∵∫0af(x) dx=∫0af(a-x) dx]
=∫0π/2sin2x log cotx dx ⋯(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get
⇒ 2I=∫0π/2sin2x[log tanx+log cotx]dx
=∫0π/2sin2x·log[tanx·cotx]dx
=∫0π/2sin2x·log1 dx [∵ tanx=1cotx]
∴ 2I=0 [∵ log1=0]
⇒ I=0
