Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}\log\Big(\frac{\text{a}-\sin\theta}{\text{a}+\sin\theta}\Big)\text{d}\theta$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}\log\Big(\frac{\text{a}-\sin\theta}{\text{a}+\sin\theta}\Big)\text{d}\theta$
Here, $\text{f}(\theta)=\log\Big(\frac{\text{a}-\sin\theta}{\text{a}+\sin\theta}\Big)$
Consider, $\text{f}(-\theta)=\log\bigg[\frac{\text{a}-\sin(-\theta)}{\text{a}+\sin(-\theta)}\bigg]$
 $=-\log\Big(\frac{\text{a}-\sin\theta}{\text{a}+\sin\theta}\Big)=-\text{f}(\theta)$
i.e., $\text{f}(\theta)$ is odd function.
Therefore, $\text{I}=0$
