The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\int\limits_{-\pi /3}^{\pi /3} \frac{x\, sin\,x}{cos^{2}\,x} dx=2 $ $\int\limits_{0}^{\pi /3} x \left(sec\,x \, tan\,x\right)dx$ $=2\left[\left|x\cdot sec x\right|_{0}^{\pi /3}-\int_{0}^{\pi /3} sec\,x\,dx\right]$ $=2\left[\frac{\pi}{3}\cdot\left(2\right)-\left|log\left(sec\,x+tan\,x\right)\right|_{0}^{\pi /3}\right]$ $=2\left[\frac{2\pi}{3}-log\left(2+\sqrt{3}\right)+0\right]$ $=2\left[\frac{2\pi}{3}-log\, tan \frac{5\pi}{12}\right]$ $\left[\because tan \frac{5\pi}{12}=tan\,75^{\circ}=2+\sqrt{3}\right]$

Integral

The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.

  • The definite integral of a function can be shown as the area of the region bounded by its graph of the given function between two points in the line.
  • The area of a region is found by splitting it into thin vertical rectangles and applying the lower and the upper limits, the area of the region is summarized.
  • An integral of a function over an interval on which the integral is described.

Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.

F'(x) = f(x)

For every value of x = I.

Types of Integrals:

Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:

  1. The problem of getting a function if its derivative is given.
  2. The problem of getting the area bounded by the graph of a function under given situations.
