Firstly, consider ξ by multiplying the numerator and denominator by cos a x : ξ = ∫ 0 π / 2 1 + tan a x 1 d x = ∫ 0 π / 2 cos a x + sin a x cos a x d x Using the fact that ∫ a b f ( x ) d x = ∫ a b f ( a + b − x ) d x (if you're not convinced, try the substitution u = a + b − x ), we can show: ξ = ∫ 0 π / 2 cos a ( 2 π − x ) + sin a ( 2 π − x ) cos a ( 2 π − x ) d x = ∫ 0 π / 2 cos a x + sin a x sin a x d x ⇒ 2 ξ = ∫ 0 π / 2 cos a x + sin a x cos a x + sin a x d x = ∫ 0 π / 2 1 d x = 2 π ⇒ ξ = 4 π Using the same logic, we can also see that ψ = 4 π .
Thus (A) is false, (B) is true and (C) is true, and the correct answer is B & C .
