The value of the integral $\int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \frac{d x}{1+\tan ^5 x}$ is |
1 $\frac{\pi}{12}$ $\frac{\pi}{6}$ none of these |
$\frac{\pi}{12}$ |
Using the property $\int\limits_a^b f(x) d x=\int\limits_a^b f(a+b-x) d x$, the given integral $I=\int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \frac{d x}{1+\tan ^5 x}=\int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \frac{d x}{1+\tan ^5\left(\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{6}-x\right)}=\int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} \frac{d x}{1+\cot ^5 x}$ Here $2 I=\int\limits_{\pi / 6}^{\pi / 3} d x \Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{\pi}{12}$ Hence (2) is the correct answer. |
