Let I ( a ) = 0 π 2 ln ( 1 + a sin 2 ( x ) ) sin 2 ( x ) d x \displaystyle I(a) = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\ln(1+a\sin^{2}(x))}{\sin^{2}(x)}dx

Differentiating with respect to a a

So I ( a ) = 0 π 2 d x 1 + a sin 2 ( x ) = 0 π 2 d x 1 + a cos 2 ( x ) \displaystyle I'(a) = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{dx}{1+a\sin^{2}(x)} =\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{dx}{1+a\cos^{2}(x)}

Multiplying and dividing by sec 2 ( x ) \sec^{2}(x)

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

Substituting tan ( x ) = z \displaystyle \tan(x) = z

I ( a ) = 0 1 1 + z 2 + a d z = 1 1 + a π 2 \displaystyle I'(a)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{1+z^{2}+a}dz = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+a}}\frac{\pi}{2}

( The integral 1 a 2 + z 2 d z \displaystyle \int\frac{1}{a^{2}+z^{2}}dz is well known and equals 1 a tan 1 ( z a ) \displaystyle \frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}(\frac{z}{a}) without the integration constant )

So I ( a ) = π a + 1 + C \displaystyle I(a) = \pi\sqrt{a+1} + C

Now we have I ( 0 ) = 0 \displaystyle I(0) = 0

So C = π \displaystyle C = -\pi

So I ( 1 ) = ( 2 1 ) π I(1) = (\sqrt{2}-1)\pi which is our answer.
