$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{(1+\tan x)(2+\tan x)} d x=$
$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{(1+\tan x)(2+\tan x)} d x=$
- $\log \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
- $\frac{1}{3} \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
- $\quad \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
- $\frac{1}{4} \log \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
Solution
Put $1+\tan x=\mathrm{t} \Rightarrow \sec ^2 x \mathrm{~d} x=\mathrm{dt}$
When $x=0, \mathrm{t}=1$ and when $x=\frac{\pi}{4}, \mathrm{t}=2$
$\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad & \int_0^{\pi / 4} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{(1+\tan x)(2+\tan x)} \mathrm{d} x \\
& =\int_1^2 \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}(1+\mathrm{t})} \\
& =\int_1^2 \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}}-\int_1^2 \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{1+\mathrm{t}} \\
& =\left[\log \mathrm{t}-\log _{(1+\mathrm{t}}(1)\right]_1^2 \\
& =\log _{\mathrm{e}} 2-\log _{\mathrm{e}} 3+\log _{\mathrm{e}} 2 \\
& =\log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)
\end{aligned}$
