The integral \(\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{3 + 2\sin x + \cos x} \, dx\) is equal to
\(\tan^{-1}(2)\)
\(\tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{\pi}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{\pi}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
\(I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{3 + 2\sin x + \cos x} \, dx\)
\(=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1 + \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}{3\left(1 + \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right) + 2\left(2\tan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right) + \left(1 - \tan^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right)} \, dx\)
Let \(\tan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = t \quad \Rightarrow \quad \sec^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \, dx = 2 \, dt\)
\(I = \int_0^1 \frac{2dt}{4 + 2t^2 + 4t}\)
\(I = \int_0^1 \frac{dt}{t^2 + 2t + 2}\)
\(I = \int_0^1 \frac{dt}{(t+1)^2 + 1}\)
\(I = \tan^{-1}(t+1) \Big|_{0}^{1}\)
\(=I = \tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{\pi}{4}\)
So, the correct option is (B): \(\tan^{-1}(2) - \frac{\pi}{4}\)

Concepts Used:
Methods of Integration
Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:
Integration by Parts:
If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:
∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C
Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.
Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:
The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:
∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx
where
f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and
g(x) = q(x).s(x)
Integration by Substitution Method
Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:
∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du
Integration by Decomposition
Reverse Chain Rule
This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,
∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
