Answers
Answer:
(7) Integral 0 to π x tan x/ sec x cosec x
= Integral 0 to π x (sinx/cosx * sec x * cosec x )
= Integral 0 to π x( sin x/cosec x)
= Integral 0 to π x sin^2 x dx
Let,
I = Integral 0 to π x sin^2 x dx
Now by using the property that
integral a to b f(x) dx = Integral a to b f(a+b-x) dx
So,
I = integral 0 to π x sin^2 x dx
which by property is also equal to
I = Integral 0 to π (π-x) sin^2(π-x) dx
= Integral 0 to π. πsin^2 x dx - Integral 0 to π x sin^2 x dx
Because, sin(π-x) = sin x
But ,on RHS we recognise - Integral 0 to π x sin^2 x dx as - I
so, equation becomes,
I = Integral 0 to π (πsin^2 x dx ) - I
or,
I = 1/2(π) Integral 0 to π sin^2 x dx
Now, we have to evaluate the integral 0 to π sin^2 x dx
So, sin^2 x = 1/2(1-cos 2x)
So,
Integral 0 to π sin^2 x dx = 1/2* Integral 0 to π (1-cos 2x) dx
= 1/2(x - sin2x/2) limits from 0 to π
= 1/2(π -0) = π/2
So, finally
I = π/2(Integral 0 to π sin^2 x dx = (π/2)(π/2) = π^2/4
hope this helps you !
