Q.

The value of the integral -π4π4x+π42-cos2xdx is                 [2023]

1 π2123  
2 π26    
3 π233    
4 π263  

Ans.

(4)

I=-π4π4x+π42-cos2xdx  ...(i)

Replace x by -x, we get

I=-π4π4-x+π42-cos2xdx  ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2I=-π4π4π/22-cos2xdx I=π4·20π4dx2-cos2xdx

I=π4·20π4 (1+tan2x)dx2(1+tan2x)-(1-tan2x)

=π20π4 sec2xdx2(1+tan2x)-(1-tan2x)

Let tanx=tsec2xdx=dt

at x=0,t=0 and x=π4,t=1

I=π201dt3t2+1 I=π601dtt2+(13)2=π63·[tan-13t]01

I=π23tan-13    I=π263
