Just take s 2 = tan ( x ) = > d x = 1 + s 4 2 s d s and s q r t ( tan ( x ) ) = s because from 0 to π / 2 the integrand is positive.
Then the integrand turns into 1 + s 4 2 s 2 d s (evaluated from 0 to infinity)
Using partial fractions and taking the limit you'll get the answer: π / s q r t ( 2 )
Note: s q r t ( u ) means square root of u
