Find Antiderivative: We need to integrate the function 1+x21 within the limits from 0 to 1. The antiderivative of 1+x21 is arctan(x), since the derivative of arctan(x) is 1+x21.
Apply Definite Integral: Now we will apply the definite integral with the limits from 0 to 1 to the antiderivative we found.∫011+x21dx=[arctan(x)]01
Evaluate at Limits: We will evaluate the antiderivative at the upper limit and then subtract the evaluation at the lower limit.arctan(1)−arctan(0)
Calculate Final Result: We know that arctan(1) is 4π because tan(4π)=1, and arctan(0) is 0 because tan(0)=0. So, arctan(1)−arctan(0)=4π−0=4π
Calculate Final Result: We know that arctan(1) is 4π because tan(4π)=1, and arctan(0) is 0 because tan(0)=0. So, arctan(1)−arctan(0)=4π−0=4π Therefore, the integral of 1+x21 from 0 to 1 is 4π.
