#int_0^pi (xsinx)/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx=pi^2/4#

Explanation:

#I=int_0^pi (xsinx)/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx#

After using #x=pi-y# an #dx=-dy# transforms, #I# became

#I=int_pi^0 [(pi-y)*sin(pi-y)(-dy)]/[1+(cos(pi-y))^2]#

=#int_pi^0 (-(pi-y)*siny*dy)/[1+(-cosy)^2]#

=#int_pi^0 (-(pi-y)*siny*dy)/[1+(cosy)^2]#

=#int_0^pi ((pi-y)*siny)/[1+(cosy)^2]*dy#

=#int_0^pi ((pi-x)*sinx)/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx#

After collecting 2 integrals,

#2I=int_0^pi (xsinx)/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx+int_0^pi ((pi-x)*sinx)/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx#

=#pi*int_0^pi sinx/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx#

=#pi*[-arctan(cosx)]_0^(pi)#

=#(-pi)*[arctan(cos(pi))-arctan(cos0)]#

=#(-pi)*[arctan(-1)-arctan(1)]#

=#(-pi)*[(-pi/4)-(pi/4)]#

=#(-pi)*(-pi/2)#

=#pi^2/2#

Thus, #I=int_0^pi (xsinx)/[1+(cosx)^2]*dx=pi^2/4#
