integral from 0 to pi/4 of tan(x)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} tan (x) d x

\frac{1}{2} ln (2)

Decimal Notation

0.34657 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} tan (x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{1}^{\frac{2}{2}} - \frac{1}{u} d u

= \int_{1}^{\frac{2}{2}} - \frac{1}{u} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= - \int_{\frac{2}{2}}^{1} - \frac{1}{u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - (- \int_{\frac{2}{2}}^{1} \frac{1}{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - (- [ln ∣ u ∣]_{\frac{2}{2}}^{1})

Simplify

- (- [ln ∣ u ∣]_{\frac{2}{2}}^{1}) : [ln ∣ u ∣]_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1}

= [ln ∣ u ∣]_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{1}{2} ln (2)

= \frac{1}{2} ln (2)

\frac{8}{3 s ^{2} + 12} + \frac{3}{s ^{2} - 49}

\int 1 + 64 x^{2} d x

\int e^{2} cos (x) d x

\frac{4}{s ^{4} + 4}

\int \frac{1}{u + 1} d u
