Question
$\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\frac{1}{1+\tan\text{x}}\text{dx}$ is equal to:
  1. $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  4. $\pi$

Answer

  1. $\frac{\pi}{4}$
Solution:
Let, $\text{I}=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\frac{1}{1+\tan\text{x}}\text{dx}\ ...(\text{i})$
$=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\frac{1}{1+\tan\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{x}\big)}\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\frac{1}{1+\cot\text{x}}\text{dx}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\Big[\frac{1}{1+\tan\text{x}}+\frac{1}{1+\cot\text{x}}\Big]\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\bigg[\frac{(1+\cot\text{x})+(1+\tan\text{x})}{(1+\tan\text{x})(1+\cot\text{x})}\bigg]\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\Big[\frac{2+\tan\text{x}+\cot\text{x}}{1+\tan\text{x}+\cot\text{x}+\tan\text{x}\cot\text{x}}\Big]\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\Big[\frac{2+\tan\text{x}+\cot\text{x}}{2+\tan\text{x}+\cot\text{x}}\Big]\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\text{dx}$
$=\big[\text{x}\big]^\frac{\pi}{2}_0=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Hence, $\text{I}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
