  1. 1
  2. $\frac{\pi}{4}$
  3. 0
  4. $\frac{\pi}{8}$

Solution

$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log \sqrt{\frac{2 \sin ^{2} x}{2 \cos ^{2} x}} d x$ $=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log \left(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right) d x \Rightarrow \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log (\tan x) d x$...(1) $=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2}\left[\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-x\right)\right] d x=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log \cot x d x$...(2) Eq. (1) $+(2)$ gives $\begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{I} &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2}[\log (\tan \mathrm{x})+\log (\cot \mathrm{x})] \mathrm{dx}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log [\tan \mathrm{x} \cot \mathrm{x}] \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x} \\ &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \log 1 \mathrm{dx}=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{I}=0 \end{aligned}$
