MCQ
${I_n} = \int\limits_0^{\frac{\pi }{4}} {{{\tan }^n}x\,dx} $ then $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \,\,n({I_n} + {I_{n - 2}})$ equals
  • A
    $1/2$
  • $1$
  • C
    $\infty$ 
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1$
b
$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{n}}+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{n}-2}=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{x}+\tan ^{\mathrm{n}-2} \mathrm{x}\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}$

$=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4}\left(\tan ^{n-2} x\left(1+\tan ^{2} x\right) d x\right.$

$=\int_{0}^{\pi / 4} \tan ^{n-2} x \sec ^{2} x d x$

$=\left[\frac{\tan ^{\mathrm{n}-1} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{n}-1}\right]_{0}^{\pi / 4}$

$ = {I_n} + {I_{n - 2}} = \frac{1}{{n - 1}}\quad \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } \frac{n}{{n - 1}} = 1$
