Q111 / 180 · KCET 2010 · Mathematics

$\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \frac{\sin x+\cos x}{3+\sin 2 x} d x$ is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\frac{1}{4} \log 3$
  • B
    $\log 3$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2 \log 3}$
  • D
    $2 \log 3$

Solution

$\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \frac{\sin x+\cos x}{3+\sin 2 x} d x$ $=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \frac{(\sin x+\cos x)}{4-(1-\sin 2 x)} d x$ $=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \frac{(\sin x+\cos x)}{4-(\sin x-\cos x)^{2}} d x$ Put $\quad t=(\sin x-\cos x)$ $d t=(\cos x+\sin x) d x$ $=\int_{-1}^{0} \frac{d t}{\left(4-t^{2}\right)}$ $=\int_{-1}^{0} \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{(2+\mathrm{t})(2-\mathrm{t})}$ $=\frac{1}{4} \int_{-1}^{0}\left[\frac{1}{2+t}+\frac{1}{2-t}\right] d t$ $=\frac{1}{4}[\log (2+t)-\log (2-t)]_{-1}^{0}$ $$ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{4}\left[\log \left(\frac{2+\mathrm{t}}{2-\mathrm{t}}\right)\right]_{-1}^{0} \\ &=\frac{1}{4}\left[\log (1)-\log \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\right] \\ &=\frac{1}{4} \log 3 \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
