$\int\limits_0^1\tan^{-1}(\frac{2x-1}{1+x-x^2})dx$ is equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 0
$\int_{0}^{1}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x-1}{1+x-x^2}\right)\,dx$
Put $I=\int_{0}^{1}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x-1}{1+x-x^2}\right)\,dx$
Use property
$\tan^{-1}u+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{u}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ for $u>0$
Change variable $x=1-t$
$I=\int_{0}^{1}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1-2t}{1+t-t^2}\right)\,dt$
Add both expressions
$2I=\int_{0}^{1}\left[\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x-1}{1+x-x^2}\right)+\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1-2x}{1+x-x^2}\right)\right]dx$
$=0$
$I=0$
The value of the given integral is $0$.
