Definite Integrals — Maths STD 12 Science — Question

 $\int_\limits{a}^{b}\text{f}\text{(x)}\text{dx}=\int_\limits{a}^{b} \text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x}) \text{dx}$

Hence,

$\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{(-x)}}{1-\text{e}^\text{-x}}\text{dx}$

$\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{1-\text{e}^\text{-x}}\text{dx}$

If,

$\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}$

Then

$\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{-x}}\text{dx}$ 

So,

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{x}}+\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{-x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{x}}+\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{-x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{{1}+\text{e}^\text{x}}+\frac{\text{e}^x\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{x}}+\frac{\text{e}^\text{x}\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^2}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}+\text{e}^\text{x}\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{(1+\text{e}^\text{x})\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{\tan^2\text{x}+\text{e}^\text{x}\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{(1+\text{e}^\text{x})\tan^2\text{x}}{1+\text{e}^\text{x}}\text{dx}$

$2\text{I}=\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\tan^2\text{x}\text{dx}$.

$\text{I}=\frac{1}{2}\int_\limits{-\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\tan^2\text{x}\text{dx}$

We know 

If f(x)is even

$\int_\limits{-a}^{a} \text{f}\text{(x)}\text{dx}=2\int_\limits{0}^{a}\text{f}\text{(x)}\text{dx}$

If f(x)is odd

$\int_\limits{-a}^{a} \text{f}\text{(x)}\text{dx}=0$

Here

$\text{f}\text{(x)}=\tan^2\text{x}$

f(x)is even,hence

$\text{I}=\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\tan^2\text{x}\text{dx}$

$\text{I}=\int\limits_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\sec^2\text{x}-1\text{dx}$.

$\text{I}=\big\{\tan\text{x}-\text{x}\big\}\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}}{0 }$

$\text{I}=1-\frac{\pi}{4}$
