(c) 1

(d) $\log \frac{1}{2}$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. $\int _{-1 / 2}^{1 / 2}[x]+\log \frac{1+x}{1-x} d x$

$=\int _{-1 / 2}^{1 / 2}[x] d x+\int _{-1 / 2}^{1 / 2} \log \frac{1+x}{1-x} d x$

$=\int _{-1 / 2}^{1 / 2}[x] d x+0 \quad \because \log \frac{1+x}{1-x}$ is an odd function

$=\int _{-1 / 2}^{0}[x] d x+\int _0^{1 / 2}[x] d x=\int _{-1 / 2}^{0}(-1) d x+\int _0^{1 / 2}(0) d x$

$=-[x] _{-1 / 2}^{0}=-0+\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}$
