But how?

Level 2

If I = 0 cos x + x sin x x 2 + cos 2 x d x I= \displaystyle\int\limits_0^{\infty}\frac{\cos x+x\sin x}{x^2+\cos^2x} dx , then, Evaluate

345 tan ( cos ( sin I ) ) 345\tan(\cos(\sin I)) to the nearest integer


The answer is 207.

First we divide by cos 2 x \cos^2 x getting:

I = 0 x tan x sec x + sec x ( x sec x ) 2 + 1 d x I = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{x \tan x \sec x + \sec x}{(x \sec x)^2 + 1} dx

Now, we put x sec x = z x \sec x = z , checking that d z = ( x tan x sec x + sec x ) dx dz = (x \tan x \sec x + \sec x)\text{ dx} , and also z = 0 z = 0 at x = 0 x=0 , z = z= \infty at x = x = \infty .

Hence, we get I = 0 d z z 2 + 1 = π 2 I = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dz}{z^2 + 1} = \frac{\pi}{2}

Hence, we get 345 tan ( cos ( sin I ) ) 206.945 345 \tan(\cos (\sin I)) \approx 206.945 , so answer is 207 207

Alternatively Substituting cosx/x=t can be much more simpler Divide numerator and denominator by x 2 x^{2} the numerator becomes differentiation of cosx/x and problem becomes simpler
