∫−11log⁡(x+x2+1)dx\int_{-1}^{1}\log(x+\sqrt{x^2+1})dx is equal to

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Let f(x)=log⁡(x+x2+1)f(x)=\log\left(x+\sqrt{x^2+1}\right). Then f(−x)=log⁡1x+x2+1=−f(x)f(-x)=\log\frac{1}{x+\sqrt{x^2+1}}=-f(x), so ff is odd.

The integral of an odd function over the symmetric interval [−1,1][-1,1] is 00.
