MCQ
$\int_0^\pi {\frac{{dx}}{{1 - 2a\cos x + {a^2}}}} \, =$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi }{{2(1 - {a^2})}}$
  • B
    $\pi (1 - {a^2})$
  • $\frac{\pi }{{1 - {a^2}}}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{\pi }{{1 - {a^2}}}$
c
(c) $\int_0^\pi {\frac{{dx}}{{(1 + {a^2})\left( {{{\cos }^2}\frac{x}{2} + {{\sin }^2}\frac{x}{2}} \right) - 2a\left( {{{\cos }^2}\frac{x}{2} - {{\sin }^2}\frac{x}{2}} \right)}}} $

$ = \int_0^\pi {\frac{{dx}}{{{{(1 - a)}^2}{{\cos }^2}\frac{x}{2} + {{(1 + a)}^2}{{\sin }^2}\frac{x}{2}}}} $

$ = \frac{2}{{{{(1 + a)}^2}}}\int_0^\infty {\frac{{dt}}{{{{\left\{ {(1 - a)/(1 + a)} \right\}}^2} + {t^2}}}} $;                       {where $t = \tan \frac{x}{2}$}

$ = \frac{2}{{{{(1 + a)}^2}}}\frac{{(1 + a)}}{{(1 - a)}}\left[ {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{1 + a}}{{1 - a}}.t} \right)} \right]_0^\infty $

$ = \frac{2}{{(1 - {a^2})}}[{\tan ^{ - 1}}\infty - {\tan ^{ - 1}}0] = \frac{\pi }{{1 - {a^2}}}$.
