Question
$\int_{ - \pi /2}^{\pi /2} {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}\,dx = } $

Answer

a
(a) $I = \int_{ - \pi /2}^{\pi /2} {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx = \int_{ - \pi /2}^0 {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx + \int_0^{\pi /2} {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx} } } $
....$(i)$

Putting $x = - t$ in $\int_{ - \pi /2}^0 {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx} $, we get

$I = \int_{ - \pi /2}^0 {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx = \int_0^{\pi /2} {\frac{{{e^x}\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx} } $

$I = \int_0^{\pi /2} {\frac{{{e^x}\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx + \int_0^{\pi /2} {\frac{{\cos x}}{{1 + {e^x}}}dx} } $

$ = \int_{\,0}^{\,\pi /2} {\frac{{(1 + {e^x})\cos x\,dx}}{{(1 + {e^x})}}} $

$ = \int_0^{\pi /2} {\cos x\,dx = [\sin x]_0^{\pi /2} = 1} $.

Water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base of the tank. It is known that the rate at which the water level drops is proportional to the square root of water depth $y$, where the constant of proportionality $k$ $>$ $0$ depends on the acceleration due to gravity and the geometry of the hole. If t is measured in minutes and $k$ = $\frac{1}{15}$ then the time to drain the tank if the water is $4$ meter deep to start with is .......... $\min.$
