The integral $\int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}}\left([x]+\log _c\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)\right)…
The integral $\int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}}\left([x]+\log _c\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)\right) \mathrm{d} x$, where $[x]$ represent greatest integer function, equals
$-\frac{1}{2}$ $\log _e\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $2 \log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
Solution
Let $\mathrm{I}=\int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}}\left([x]+\log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)\right) \mathrm{d} x$
$=\int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^0[x] \mathrm{d} x+\int_0^{\frac{1}{2}}[x] \mathrm{d} x+\int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}} \log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) \mathrm{d} x$
Let $g(x)=\log \left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)$
$g(-x)=\log \left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)=-\log \left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)=-g(x)$
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{g}(x)$ is a odd function.
$\therefore \quad \int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^{\frac{1}{2}} \mathrm{~g}(x) \mathrm{d} x=0$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \mathrm{I} & =\int_{\frac{-1}{2}}^0(-1) \mathrm{d} x+\int_0^{\frac{1}{2}}(0) \mathrm{d} x+0 \\ & =[-x]_{\frac{-1}{2}}^0+0 \\ & =\frac{-1}{2}\end{aligned}$
