We need to evaluate
I=∫0π4cos2x+sin2x8xdx.
-
First simplify the denominator:
4cos2x+sin2x=4cos2x+(1−cos2x)=1+3cos2x.
So,
I=∫0π1+3cos2x8xdx.
-
Use the standard symmetry property:
If f(x)=f(π−x), then
∫0πxf(x)dx=2π∫0πf(x)dx.
Here,
f(x)=1+3cos2x8.
Now check symmetry:
f(\pi-x)=\frac{8}{1+3\cos^2(\pi-x)}=rac{8}{1+3\cos^2 x}=f(x),
since cos(π−x)=−cosx and hence cos2(π−x)=cos2x.
Therefore,
I=2π∫0π1+3cos2x8dx.
So,
I=4π∫0π1+3cos2xdx.
-
Again use symmetry about π/2:
∫0π1+3cos2xdx=2∫0π/21+3cos2xdx.
Hence,
I=8π∫0π/21+3cos2xdx.
-
Evaluate
J=∫0π/21+3cos2xdx.
Use t=tanx. Then
dx=1+t2dt,cos2x=1+t21.
Thus,
1+3cos2x=1+1+t23=1+t2t2+4.
So,
=\int_0^{\infty} \frac{dt}{t^2+4}.$$
6. Now,
$$\int_0^{\infty} \frac{dt}{t^2+a^2}=\frac{\pi}{2a}.$$
Here $a=2$, so
$$J=\frac{\pi}{4}.$$
7. Substitute back:
$$I=8\pi\cdot \frac{\pi}{4}=2\pi^2.$$
8. Therefore the value of the integral is
$$\boxed{2\pi^2}.$$
So the correct option is **A**.
