The value of the integral ∫ - 1 1 log x + x 2 + 1 d x is:
Options
- A2
- B0
- C- 1
- D1
Correct answer
B. 0
Step-by-step solution
Let I = ∫ - 1 1 log x + x 2 + 1 d x Consider f x = log x + x 2 + 1 Now, f - x = log - x + 1 + x 2 ⇒ f - x = - log x + 1 + x 2 ⇒ f - x = - f x So, f x is an odd function. ∴   I = 0
