Correct answer: A

  1. We need to evaluate I=∫−11cos⁡(αx)1+3x dxI=\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{\cos(\alpha x)}{1+3^x}\,dxI=∫−11​1+3xcos(αx)​dx and use the condition I=2πI=\frac{2}{\pi}I=π2​.

  2. Use the standard symmetry trick: let f(x)=cos⁡(αx)1+3x.f(x)=\frac{\cos(\alpha x)}{1+3^x}.f(x)=1+3xcos(αx)​. Then I=∫−11f(x) dx=∫−11f(x)+f(−x)2 dx.I=\int_{-1}^{1} f(x)\,dx = \int_{-1}^{1} \frac{f(x)+f(-x)}{2}\,dx.I=∫−11​f(x)dx=∫−11​2f(x)+f(−x)​dx. So first compute f(−x)f(-x)f(−x): f(-x)=\frac{\cos(-\alpha x)}{1+3^{-x}}= rac{\cos(\alpha x)}{1+3^{-x}}. Since 11+3−x=3x1+3x,\frac{1}{1+3^{-x}}=\frac{3^x}{1+3^x},1+3−x1​=1+3x3x​, we get f(−x)=cos⁡(αx)⋅3x1+3x.f(-x)=\cos(\alpha x)\cdot \frac{3^x}{1+3^x}.f(−x)=cos(αx)⋅1+3x3x​.

Thus, f(x)+f(−x)=cos⁡(αx)(11+3x+3x1+3x)=cos⁡(αx).f(x)+f(-x)=\cos(\alpha x)\left(\frac{1}{1+3^x}+\frac{3^x}{1+3^x}\right)=\cos(\alpha x).f(x)+f(−x)=cos(αx)(1+3x1​+1+3x3x​)=cos(αx). Hence, I=12∫−11cos⁡(αx) dx.I=\frac12\int_{-1}^{1}\cos(\alpha x)\,dx.I=21​∫−11​cos(αx)dx.

  1. Now evaluate: \int_{-1}^{1}\cos(\alpha x)\,dx=\left[\frac{\sin(\alpha x)}{\alpha}\right]_{-1}^{1}= rac{\sin\alpha-\sin(-\alpha)}{\alpha}=\frac{2\sin\alpha}{\alpha}. Therefore, I=12⋅2sin⁡αα=sin⁡αα.I=\frac12\cdot \frac{2\sin\alpha}{\alpha}=\frac{\sin\alpha}{\alpha}.I=21​⋅α2sinα​=αsinα​.

  2. Given that sin⁡αα=2π.\frac{\sin\alpha}{\alpha}=\frac{2}{\pi}.αsinα​=π2​. Now test the options.

  • A: α=π2\alpha=\frac{\pi}{2}α=2π​ sin⁡(π/2)π/2=1π/2=2π\frac{\sin(\pi/2)}{\pi/2}=\frac{1}{\pi/2}=\frac{2}{\pi}π/2sin(π/2)​=π/21​=π2​ This works.

  • B: α=π4\alpha=\frac{\pi}{4}α=4π​ sin⁡(π/4)π/4=22π/4=22π≠2π\frac{\sin(\pi/4)}{\pi/4}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt2}{2}}{\pi/4}=\frac{2\sqrt2}{\pi}\neq \frac{2}{\pi}π/4sin(π/4)​=π/422​​​=π22​​=π2​ Not correct.

  • C: α=π3\alpha=\frac{\pi}{3}α=3π​ sin⁡(π/3)π/3=32π/3=332π≠2π\frac{\sin(\pi/3)}{\pi/3}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}{\pi/3}=\frac{3\sqrt3}{2\pi}\neq \frac{2}{\pi}π/3sin(π/3)​=π/323​​​=2π33​​=π2​ Not correct.

  • D: α=π6\alpha=\frac{\pi}{6}α=6π​ sin⁡(π/6)π/6=12π/6=3π≠2π\frac{\sin(\pi/6)}{\pi/6}=\frac{\frac12}{\pi/6}=\frac{3}{\pi}\neq \frac{2}{\pi}π/6sin(π/6)​=π/621​​=π3​=π2​ Not correct.

  1. Therefore, the correct option is α=π2.\boxed{\alpha=\frac{\pi}{2}}.α=2π​​.
