MCQ
$\int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin x}{1+\cos ^2 x} d x$ has the value
  • A
  • B
    $\pi / 2$
  • C
    $\pi / 4$
  • D
    $-\pi / 4$

Answer

(c) : Let $I=\int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin x}{1+\cos ^2 x} d x$
Let $\cos x=t \Rightarrow-\sin x d x=d t$, when $x=0, t=1, x=\pi / 2$, $t=0$
$\Rightarrow I=-\int_1^0 \frac{d t}{1+t^2}=\left[-\tan ^{-1} t\right]_1^0=\tan ^{-1} 1=\frac{\pi}{4}$
