The integral $\int_0^\pi \frac{8 x d x}{4 \cos ^2 x+\sin ^2 x}$ is equal to
Solution
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& I=\int_0^\pi \frac{8 x}{4 \cos ^2 x+\sin ^2 x} d x \ldots(1) \\
& I=\int_0^\pi \frac{8(\pi-x)}{4 \cos ^2(\pi-x)+\sin ^2(\pi-x)} d x \\
& I=\int_0^\pi \frac{8(\pi-x)}{4 \cos ^2 x+\sin ^2 x} d x \ldots(2)
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Adding (1) and (2)</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& 2 I=8 \pi \int_0^\pi \frac{1}{4 \cos ^2 x+\sin ^2 x} d x \\
& I=4 \pi \times 2 \int_0^\pi \frac{\sec ^2 x}{4 \tan ^2 x} d x
\end{aligned}$$</p>
<p>Put $\tan x=t$</p>
<p>$\sec ^2 x d x=d t$</p>
<p>$I=8 \pi \int_0^{\infty} \frac{d t}{4+t^2}$</p>
<p>$$\begin{aligned}
& I=8 \pi \frac{1}{2}\left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{t}{2}\right)_0^{\infty} \\
& I=4 \pi\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\
& I=2 \pi^2
\end{aligned}$$</p>
