Question:

The area of the region bounded by the curve $C:y=\frac{x+1}{x^2+1}$ and the line $y = 1$, is 

Options:

$m1-\frac{1}{2}ln\,2+\frac{π}{4}$

$ln\,2-\frac{π}{4}+1$

$\frac{1}{2}ln\,2+\frac{π}{4}-1$

$ln\,2-\frac{π}{2}+1$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}ln\,2+\frac{π}{4}-1$

Explanation:

Let A be the required area. Then,

$A=\int\limits_0^1(y-1)dx=\int\limits_0^1\left(\frac{x+1}{x^2+1}-1\right)dx$

$⇒A=\int\limits_0^1\left[\frac{1}{2}\log(x^2+1)+\tan^2x-x\right]_0^1=\frac{1}{2}ln\,2+\frac{π}{4}-1$
