The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Required area
$=\int_\limits{0}^{\pi / 4}(\cos x-\sin x) d x+\int_{\pi / 4}^{5 \pi / 4}(\sin x-\cos x) d x$
$\int_\limits{5 \pi / 4}^{3 \pi / 2}(\cos x-\sin x) d x$
$=[\sin x-\cos x]_{0}^{\pi / 4}+[-\cos x-\sin x]_{\pi / 4}^{5 \pi / 4}$
$+[\sin x-\cos x]_{5 x / 4}^{3 \pi / 4}$
$=(4 \sqrt{2}-2)$ sq unitsa

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
