Correct answer: 8
We need to evaluate
I=∫0π/41+sinxcosxsin2xdx.
Use the substitution
t=tanx,dx=1+t2dt,
with limits:
when x=0, t=0
when x=π/4, t=1
Also,
sinx=1+t2t,cosx=1+t21.
So,
sin2x=1+t2t2,sinxcosx=1+t2t.
Therefore,
1+sinxcosx=1+1+t2t=1+t21+t+t2.
Hence,
1+sinxcosxsin2x=1+t21+t+t21+t2t2=t2+t+1t2.
Thus,
I=∫01(t2+t+1)(1+t2)t2dt.
Do partial fraction decomposition:
(t2+1)(t2+t+1)t2=t2+1At+B+t2+t+1Ct+D.
Multiplying through,
t2=(At+B)(t2+t+1)+(Ct+D)(t2+1).
Comparing coefficients gives
A=−1,B=0,C=1,D=0.
So,
(t2+1)(t2+t+1)t2=−t2+1t+t2+t+1t.
Therefore,
I=∫01(−t2+1t+t2+t+1t)dt.
Evaluate the first integral:
I1=∫01−t2+1tdt=−21ln(t2+1)01=−21ln2.
Evaluate the second integral:
I2=∫01t2+t+1tdt.
Write
t=21(2t+1)−21.
So,
I2=21∫01t2+t+12t+1dt−21∫01t2+t+1dt.
The first part is
21ln(t2+t+1)01=21ln3.
For the second part,
t2+t+1=(t+21)2+43.
Hence,
∫t2+t+1dt=32tan−1(32t+1).
Thus,
=-\frac1{\sqrt3}\left[\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2t+1}{\sqrt3}\right)\right]_0^1.$$
Now,
$$\tan^{-1}(\sqrt3)=\frac\pi3, \qquad \tan^{-1}\left(\frac1{\sqrt3}\right)=\frac\pi6.$$
So this becomes
$$-\frac1{\sqrt3}\left(\frac\pi3-\frac\pi6\right)=-\frac\pi{6\sqrt3}.$$
Therefore,
$$I_2=\frac12\ln 3-\frac\pi{6\sqrt3}.$$
6. Combine $I_1$ and $I_2$:
$$I=-\frac12\ln 2+\frac12\ln 3-\frac\pi{6\sqrt3}
=\frac12\ln\left(\frac32\right)-\frac\pi{6\sqrt3}.$$
7. Compare with the given form:
$$I=\frac1a\ln\left(\frac a3\right)+\frac\pi{b\sqrt3}.$$
Our logarithmic term is
$$\frac12\ln\left(\frac32\right)=\frac12\ln\left(\frac a3\right),$$
so
$$\frac a3=\frac32 \implies a=\frac92,$$
which is impossible since $a\in\mathbb N$.
This suggests the printed form likely has a sign/typing issue. If the intended form is
$$I=\frac1a\ln\left(\frac{3}{a}\right)+\frac\pi{b\sqrt3},$$
then
$$\frac12\ln\left(\frac32\right)=\frac12\ln\left(\frac3{2}\right),$$
so $a=2$.
Also,
$$-\frac\pi{6\sqrt3}=\frac\pi{b\sqrt3} \implies b=-6,$$
again inconsistent with $b\in\mathbb N$.
So the only sensible interpretation is that the expression in the question has a sign error in the $\pi$ term. Matching
$$I=\frac12\ln\left(\frac32\right)-\frac\pi{6\sqrt3},$$
we get
$$a=2,\quad b=6,$$
and hence
$$a+b=8.$$
8. Final answer:
$$\boxed{8}$$
