Practicing Success
The value of $\int\limits_0^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^n x+\tan ^{n-2} x\right) d\left(x-\frac{[x]}{1 !}+\frac{[x]^2}{2 !}-\frac{[x]^3}{3 !}+... \right)$ where [x] is greatest integer function, is $[x \in[0, \pi / 4]]$ |
$\frac{1}{n}$ $\frac{1}{n+2}$ $\frac{1}{n-1}$ $\frac{1}{n-2}$ |
$\frac{1}{n-1}$ |
For $x \in[0, \pi / 4],[x]=0$ ∴ $\int\limits_0^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^n x+\tan ^{n-2} x\right) d\left(x-\frac{[x]}{1 !}+\frac{[x]^2}{2 !}-\frac{[x]^3}{3 !}+...\right)$ $=\int\limits_0^{\pi / 4} \tan ^{n-2} x \sec ^2 x d x=\left[\frac{\tan ^{n-1} x}{n-1}\right]_0^{\pi / 4}=\frac{1}{n-1}$ |
