Evaluate:
.
OR
Evaluate:
dx
∵
- x = x(
- 1) = x (x – 1) (x + 1)
- x > 0 for -1 < x < 0
- x < 0 for 0 < x < 1
- x > 0 for 1 < x < 2
NOTE: Sign is only being considered for the range -1≤ x ≤ 2

The required value is
.
OR
Let, I =
…(1)
Using the property of definite Integral:
= ![]()
I = ![]()
I =
…(2)
Adding equation 1 and 2 we get –
2I = ![]()
2I = ![]()
Putting Cos x = t
-Sin x dx = dt
When x = 0 ⇒ t = 1
x =
⇒ t = -1
⇒ 2I =
{∵
}
⇒ 2I = π ![]()
∴ 2I = π{tan-1(1) – tan-1(-1)} {∵ tan-1(1) = π/4}
⇒ 2I = π(π/4 – (-π/4))
⇒ I = ![]()
Hence,![]()
