Question:

Evaluate $\int\limits_{-1}^{1} \log \left( \frac{2-x}{2+x} \right) \, dx$

Options:

$\log(3)$

0

1

$2\log(2)$

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 0

Let $f(x) = \log \left( \frac{2-x}{2+x} \right)$

We have, $f(-x) = \log \left( \frac{2+x}{2-x} \right)$

$-\log \left( \frac{2-x}{2+x} \right) = -f(x)$

So, $f(x)$ is an odd function.

$∴\int\limits_{-1}^{1} \log \left( \frac{2-x}{2+x} \right) \, dx = 0$
