The value of integral \( I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log(\tan x) \, dx \) is
Step-by-step Solution:
🧠 Quick Explanation:
Use the property of definite integrals:
\[
\int_0^a f(x) \, dx = \int_0^a f(a - x) \, dx
\]
Let
\[
I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log(\tan x) \, dx
\]
Then:
\[
I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log(\tan(\frac{\pi}{2} - x)) \, dx = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log(\cot x) \, dx
\]
Now add both:
\[
2I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} [\log(\tan x) + \log(\cot x)] \, dx = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log(\tan x \cdot \cot x) \, dx
\]
But \(\tan x \cdot \cot x = 1\), so:
\[
2I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log(1) \, dx = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 0 \, dx = 0
\Rightarrow I = 0
\]
