\(\int_0^1 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right) d x=\)
  1. \(\pi-\log 2\)
  2. \(\pi+\log 2\)
  3. \(\frac{\pi}{2}-\log 2\)
  4. \(\frac{\pi}{2}+\log 2\)

Solution

\(I=\int_0^1 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right) d x\) When, \(x=\tan \theta \text {, }\) \(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}=\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1+\tan ^2 \theta}=\sin 2 \theta\) Also, \(\quad d x=\sec ^2 \theta d \theta\) and, When \(x=0, \theta=0\) When \(x=1, \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}\) So, \(\begin{aligned} I & =\int_0^{\pi / 4} \sin ^{-1}(\sin 2 \theta) \cdot \sec ^2 \theta \cdot d \theta \\ & =\int_0^{\pi / 4} 2 \theta \cdot \sec ^2 \theta d \theta=2 \int_0^{\pi / 4} \theta \cdot \sec ^2 \theta \cdot d \theta \end{aligned}\) By parts we get, \(I=2[\theta, \tan \theta-\log \sec \theta]_0^{\pi / 4} \Rightarrow I=\frac{\pi}{2}-\log 2\)
