If $\mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{\sin ^2 \pi x}{1+\pi^x}$, then
$\int(\mathrm{f}(x)+\mathrm{f}(-x)) \mathrm{d} x$ is equal to
- $\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\sin \pi x}{2 \pi}+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
- $\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{\sin 2 \pi x}{4 \pi}+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
- $\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\cos \pi x}{2 \pi}+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
- $\frac{1}{1+\pi^x}+\frac{\cos ^2 \pi x}{2 \pi}+\mathrm{c}$, (where c is a constant of integration)
Solution
$\begin{aligned} & \int(\mathrm{f}(x)+\mathrm{f}(-x)) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\int\left[\frac{\sin ^2 \pi x}{1+\pi^x}+\frac{\sin ^2(-\pi x)}{1+\pi^{-x}}\right] \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\int\left(\frac{\sin ^2 \pi x}{1+\pi^x}+\frac{\pi^x \sin ^2 \pi x}{\pi^x+1}\right) \mathrm{d} x\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & =\int \sin ^2 \pi x\left(\frac{1+\pi^x}{1+\pi^x}\right) d x \\ & =\int \sin ^2 \pi x \mathrm{~d} x \\ & =\int\left(\frac{1-\cos 2 \pi x}{2}\right) \mathrm{d} x \\ & =\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sin 2 \pi x}{2 \pi}+c=\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\sin 2 \pi x}{4 \pi}+c\end{aligned}$
