Yesterday I learned the trick that if E ( x ) is an even function, then ∫ − a a k x + 1 E ( x ) d x = ∫ 0 a E ( x ) d x

Oh nice! It's a really good thing to know. Thanks! I didn't know of that. What are the bounds on a , k ?

@Kartik Sharma – a can be any real. k can be any non-negative real.

First we should kknow that e x + 1 1 + e − x + 1 1 = 1 Assume that I = 2 − π ∫ 2 π e x + 1 x 2 cos ( x ) d x Letting u = − x , you can show that I = ∫ − π / 2 π / 2 e x + 1 x 2 cos x d x = ∫ − π / 2 π / 2 e − x + 1 x 2 cos x d x , hence 2 I = ∫ − π / 2 π / 2 x 2 cos x d x . Since x 2 cos x is even, you have I = ∫ 0 π / 2 x 2 cos x d x I = ∫ 0 π / 2 x 2 cos x d x I = ∫ 0 π / 2 x 2 cos x d x = 2 x cos x + ( x 2 − 2 ) sin x ∣ ∣ 0 π / 2 = 4 π 2 − 8 Hence A + B + C = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8
