Question #d811b

1 Answer

πlog2

Explanation:

1) I called initial integral as I.

2) I used x=tany and dx=(secy)2dy transforms.

3) I used tany+coty=2sin2y identity.

4) I called second integral as J.

5) I used z=2y and dz=2dy transformations in J.

6) I used symmetry of the sine function about π2:

π0f(sinz)dz=π202f(sinz)dz

7) I used π20f(z)dz=π20f(π2z)dz identity.

8) I collected 2 J's.

9) I used logm+logn=log(mn) and log(ab)=logalogb identities.

10) I found value of J.

11) I found value of I.

I=0log(x+1x)dx1+x2

After using x=tany and dx=(secy)2dy transforms,

I=π20log(tany+coty)dy

=π20log(2sin2y)dy

=π2log2-π20log(sin2y)dy

I called new integral as J,

J=π20log(sin2y)dy

After using z=2y and dz=2dy transformations,

J=π012log(sinz)dz

After using symmetry of the sine function about π2,

J=π20122log(sinz)dz

=π20log(sinz)dz

=π20log[sin(π2z)]dz

=π20log(cosz)dz

After collecting 2 integrals,

2J=π20log(sinz)dz+π20log(cosz)dz

=π20log(sinzcosz)dz

=π20log(sin2z2)dz

=π20log(sin2z)dz-π2log2

=J-π2log2

Hence J=π2log2

Thus,

I=0log(x+1x)dx1+x2

=π2log2J

=π2log2(π2log2)

=πlog2
