Question
Evaluate the definite integral in Exercise:
$\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\tan\text{x}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

$\text{Let}\ \text{I}=\int\limits_{0}^\frac{\pi}{4}\tan\text{x}\ \text{dx}$ $\int\tan\text{x}\ \text{dx}=-\text{log}|\cos\text{x|}=\text{F}\text{(x)}$By second fundamental theoram of calculus, we obtain
$\text{I}=\text{F}\bigg(\frac{\pi}{4}\bigg)-\text{F}(0)$ $=-\text{log}|\cos\frac{\pi}{4}|+\text{log}|\cos0|$ $=-\text{log}\big|\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\big|+\text{log}|1|$ $=\text{log}(2)^\frac{1}{2}$$=\frac{1}{2}\text{log}2$
