$\int_0^\pi \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{4+3 \cos x}=$

$\int_0^\pi \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{4+3 \cos x}=$
  1. $\frac{2 \pi}{7}$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{7}}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{7}}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{7}$

Solution

Let $\mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{4+3 \cos x}$ Put $\tan \frac{x}{2}=\mathrm{t}$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{d} x=\frac{2 \mathrm{dt}}{1+\mathrm{t}^2}$ and $\cos x=\frac{1-\mathrm{t}^2}{1+\mathrm{t}^2}$ $\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \mathrm{I}=\int_0^\pi \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{4+3 \cos x} & =\int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \mathrm{dt}}{7+\mathrm{t}^2} \\ & =\left[\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\sqrt{7}}\right)\right]_0^{\infty} \\ & =\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}}\left[\tan ^{-1} \infty-0\right] \\ & =\frac{2}{\sqrt{7}} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{7}}\end{aligned}$
