C.43π2
D.63π2
Show answer and solution
Answer:(D) 63π2
Split the numerator. The part x/(2−cos2x) is an odd function integrated over a symmetric interval, so it contributes zero. What remains is 4π∫−π/4π/42−cos2xdx=2π∫0π/42−cos2xdx. Put t=tanx, so cos2x=(1−t2)/(1+t2) and dx=dt/(1+t2): the integrand becomes 2(1+t2)−(1−t2)dt=1+3t2dt. Then ∫011+3t2dt=31tan−13=33π. The integral equals 2π⋅33π=63π2≈0.9497, which a numerical integration confirms. The option with 123 forgets the doubling from symmetry.
