∫ 0 π / 2 1 + sin 2 x x cos ( x ) d x
If the above integral can be stated in the form D ln A ( B + C ) , find A + B + C + D where A , B , C , D are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) and C not an even perfect power.

@Shivang Jindal – you are really genius. I fan of your problem solving skills. :)
what do you mean with the feymann way!

Feynman was a pioneer of introducing parameters and integrating it using Leibnitz Rule.

Well, really nice problem.
I = ∫ 0 π / 2 1 + s i n 2 x x c o s ( x ) d x
Now we will consider the series n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( − 1 ) n a n = 1 + a 1
Substituting a = s i n ( x ) , we can write I as
∫ 0 π / 2 x c o s ( x ) n = 0 ∑ ∞ s i n 2 n x ( − 1 ) n
n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( − 1 ) n ( ∫ 0 π / 2 x c o s ( x ) s i n 2 n x
Using IBP with x = u , c o s ( x ) s i n 2 n x d x = d v ⇒ 2 n + 1 s i n 2 n + 1 x = v ,
We will just do the integration first,
2 n + 1 x ( s i n 2 n + 1 x ) − ∫ 2 n + 1 s i n 2 n + 1 x from 0 to π / 2
2 n + 1 2 π − 2 n + 1 1 ∫ 0 π / 2 s i n 2 n + 1 x
Now substituting in the sum,
n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( − 1 ) n 2 n + 1 2 π − n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( − 1 ) n 2 n + 1 1 ∫ 0 π / 2 s i n 2 n + 1 x
First sum is just 2 π ∗ t a n − 1 ( 1 ) = 8 π 2
Second will be ∫ 0 π / 2 n = 0 ∑ ∞ 2 n + 1 ( − 1 ) n s i n 2 n + 1 x
∫ 0 π / 2 t a n − 1 ( s i n x )
Now using a = s i n x and IBP,
= s i n − 1 a ( t a n − 1 a ) − ∫ 0 1 1 + a 2 s i n − 1 a
= 8 π 2 − ∫ 0 1 1 + a 2 s i n − 1 a
Hence, our answer suffices to = 8 π 2 − 8 π 2 + ∫ 0 1 1 + a 2 s i n − 1 a = ∫ 0 1 1 + a 2 s i n − 1 a
Any help with this integral would be appreciated! Thanks!
Integral's value is the answer - 2 l o g 2 ( 1 + 2 )
Anybody can please help me with that sum? @Ronak Agarwal

you can get the same situation on this thread from Pratik Shastri-- https://brilliant.org/discussions/thread/a-series-that-came-up-while-solving-an-integral/
@Kartik Sharma You could evaluate it by using Shivang's method.

Well, yeah! I wasn't well enlightened in "differentiating under integral sign" method back when I posted this solution. Now, the question even can be done using complex analysis, I guess but I am not sure.

@Kartik Sharma – By Complex Analysis, do you mean Contour Integration?
Log in to reply
@User 123 – Yep, you're right.
Log in to reply
@Kartik Sharma – Kartik I also wish to learn Contour Integration. But for that, presumably I would have to know many other things. Could you please tell me how and from where to learn whatever all I must learn?
Log in to reply
@User 123 – Well, I had some random college lecture pdf's and they were really very useful, I must say. Also, Wikipedia is a great source as well. There are some books out there as well(which you might get names of on MSE) but I just didn't like them because they are just not written in my style of learning(well, "they" here means the books which I saw, not all). The lecture notes were one of the best things I've ever read(and still reading). Well, is this original? It seems to me I've seen it before. Also, it reminds me of contour(though I am unable to complete it fully).
Log in to reply
@Kartik Sharma – Alright, thanks! Sorry, but I couldn't understand what you meant by "Well, is this." Actually, my Uncle gave me that problem (he said it was quite a common problem) and asked me to try and evaluate it (he knows I have a fascination for Integrals). And yeah, he did say that it was to be done through Contour. Since yesterday, I've been trying to do it using Real methods, but have so far failed.

@User 123 – Sorry, now edited. I just missed it. Well, all what I can say is you are really lucky to have such an Uncle. I am really jealous of you. :P Oh, and I just saw that I forgot to re-share it.

@Kartik Sharma – Yeah I am very lucky to have him! And thanks a lot for re-sharing it:)
@Ronak Agarwal Can you please help me with that final integral?
The answer is = 2 l o g 2 ( 1 + 2 )

First off all its, quite obvious to have substitution sin ( x ) → x I = ∫ 0 1 1 + x 2 arcsin ( x ) Now using integration by parts, I = 8 π 2 − ∫ 0 1 1 − x 2 arctan ( x ) Now, if nothing works and if you don't like series/complex numbers, then start thinking of Feynman way. Consider f ( a ) = ∫ 0 1 1 − x 2 arctan ( a x ) After differentiating and integrating, f ′ ( a ) = a 1 + a 2 ln ( a + 1 + a 2 ) So we need to find out f ( 1 ) = ∫ 0 1 a 1 + a 2 ln ( a + 1 + a 2 ) From now onwards i am giving sketch, as i think that one can carry forward easily as now part left is calculation. (Just one tricky part) Applying integration by parts, (Integrate a 1 + a 2 1 Then in the new integral, substitute a 1 → a You will get, f ( 1 ) = ∫ 1 ∞ a 1 + a 2 ln ( a + 1 + a 2 ) − ln 2 ( 1 + 2 ) And, ∫ 1 ∞ a 1 + a 2 ln ( a + 1 + a 2 ) = ∫ 0 ∞ a 1 + a 2 ln ( a + 1 + a 2 ) − ∫ 0 1 a 1 + a 2 ln ( a + 1 + a 2 )
Finally we get f ( 1 ) = 8 π 2 − 2 ln 2 ( 1 + 2 ) .
P.S : I have left many steps, they are left for reader -_-
