Question
Evaluate the following definite integrals:
$\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1}{1+\sin\text{x}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1}{1+\sin\text{x}}\text{ dx}$ Then,
$\text{I}=\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1}{1+\sin\text{x}}\times\frac{1-\sin\text{x}}{1-\sin\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\pi}\frac{1-\sin\text{x}}{1-\sin^2\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\pi}\frac{1-\sin\text{x}}{\cos^2\text{x}}\text{ dx}$ 
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\pi}\Big(\frac{1}{\cos^2\text{x}}-\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\cos^2\text{x}}\Big)\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^\limits{\pi}\big(\sec^2\text{x}-\sec\text{x}\tan\text{x}\big)\text{ dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\big[\tan\text{x}-\sec\text{x}\big]^\frac{\pi}{4}_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\big(1-\sqrt{2}\big)-\big(-1-\sqrt{2}\big)$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=2$
