$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{(1+\tan x)(2+\tan x)} d x=$

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sec ^2 x}{(1+\tan x)(2+\tan x)} d x=$
  1. $\log \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  2. $\frac{1}{3} \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
  3. $\quad \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
  4. $\frac{1}{4} \log \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$

Solution

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