Q85 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2003 · Mathematics

$\int_0^1 \sin \left(2 \tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}\right) d x$ is equal to :

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • D
    $\pi$

Solution

Let $I=\int_0^1 \sin \left(2 \tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}\right) d x$ Put $x=\cos \theta \Rightarrow d x=-\sin \theta d \theta$ $\therefore \quad I=\int_{\pi / 2}^0 \sin \left(2 \tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1+\cos \theta}{1-\cos \theta}}\right)(-\sin \theta) d \theta$ $=\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin \left(2 \tan ^{-1} \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\theta}{2}\right)\right) \sin \theta d \theta$ $=\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin (\pi-\theta) \sin \theta d \theta=\int_0^{\pi / 2} \sin ^2 \theta d \theta$ $=\int_0^{\pi / 2}\left[\frac{1-\cos 2 \theta}{2}\right] d \theta=\frac{1}{2}\left[\theta-\frac{\sin 2 \theta}{2}\right]_0^{\pi / 2}$ $=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{\pi}{2}-0\right\rceil=\frac{\pi}{4}$

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