The area enclosed by the curve y = cot x, the line x = pi/4, and the x-axis (y = 0) can be represented as:
- (A) ∫[0 to π/4] tan(π/4 − x) dx
- (B) π/4 − ∫[0 to 1] tan^−1 x dx
- (C) 1 − ∫[0 to 1] tan^−1 x dx
- (D) ∫[0 to π/4] tan^−1 x dx
Correct answer: (B) π/4 − ∫[0 to 1] tan^−1 x dx
Solution
Integrating horizontally, the area = ∫0¹ (pi/2 - arctan y - pi/4) dy = pi/4 - ∫0¹ arctan x dx, matching option (B).
