Question:

The value of integral $\int\limits_0^1 \frac{\log (1+x)}{1+x^2} d x$, is

Options:

$\frac{\pi}{8} \log _e 2$

$\frac{\pi}{4} \log _e 2$

$-\frac{\pi}{8} \log _e 2$

$-\frac{\pi}{4} \log _e 2$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{8} \log _e 2$

Explanation:

Let $I=\int\limits_0^1 \frac{\log (1+x)}{1+x^2} d x$

Putting $x=\tan \theta$, we get

$I=\int\limits_0^{\pi / 4} \log (1+\tan \theta) d \theta=\frac{\pi}{8} \log _e 2$
