[AMU 2000]

Options:

A) 0

B) 1

C) $ \infty $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ I=\int_0^{\infty }{\frac{x\log x}{{{(1+x^{2})}^{2}}},dx} $ Put $ x=\tan \theta $
Þ $ dx={{\sec }^{2}}\theta ,d\theta $
$ \therefore $ I $ =\int_0^{\pi /2}{\frac{\tan \theta ,\log ,(\tan \theta )}{{{\sec }^{4}}\theta }}{{\sec }^{2}}\theta ,d\theta $ $ =\int_0^{\pi /2}{\sin \theta ,\cos \theta ,\log ,(\tan \theta ),d\theta } $ $ =\frac{1}{2}\int_0^{\pi /2}{\sin 2\theta \log ,(,\tan \theta ,),d\theta } $ $ =0 $ , $ { \because \int_0^{\pi /2}{\sin 2\theta \log \tan \theta d\theta =0} } $ .
