\(\int_0^1 \frac{8 \log (1+x)}{1+x^2} d x=\)
  1. \(\pi \log 2\)
  2. \(\frac{\pi}{2} \log 2\)
  3. \(\frac{\pi}{4} \log 2\)
  4. \(\log 2\)

Solution

\(I=\int_0^1 \frac{8 \log (1+x)}{1+x^2} d x=8 \int_0^1 \frac{\log (1+x)}{1+x^2} \cdot d x\) Let \(x=\tan \theta d x=\sec ^2 \theta d \theta\) When \(x=0, \theta=0\) and when \(x=1, \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}\) So, \(\begin{aligned} I & =8 \int_0^{\pi / 4} \frac{\log (1+\tan \theta)}{1+\tan ^2 \theta} \cdot \sec ^2 \theta \cdot d \theta \\ & =8 \int_0^\pi \log (1+\tan \theta) d \theta \end{aligned}\) Now using \(I=\int_0^a f(x) d x=\int_0^a f(a-x) d x\) and adding both equations we have, \(\begin{aligned} 2 I & =8 \int_0^\pi \log 2 d x \\ I & =8 \times \frac{\pi}{8} \log 2=\pi \log 2 \end{aligned}\)
