Solution

To solve the problem, let's carefully analyze the mathematical expression:

We are given: f(x)=11+x2+1x201f(x)dxf(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2} + \sqrt{1-x^2} \int_0^1 f(x) \, dx

Our goal is to find the value of 01f(x)dx\int_0^1 f(x) \, dx.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Set the unknown integral:
    Let: I=01f(x)dxI = \int_0^1 f(x) \, dx This makes f(x)f(x) expressed as: f(x)=11+x2+1x2If(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2} + \sqrt{1-x^2} \cdot I

  2. Integrate f(x)f(x) over [0,1][0, 1]:
    Substitute f(x)f(x) into the integral: I=01(11+x2+1x2I)dxI = \int_0^1 \left( \frac{1}{1+x^2} + \sqrt{1-x^2} \cdot I \right) dx

    Separate the terms: I=0111+x2dx+011x2IdxI = \int_0^1 \frac{1}{1+x^2} \, dx + \int_0^1 \sqrt{1-x^2} \cdot I \, dx

    The first term, 0111+x2dx\int_0^1 \frac{1}{1+x^2} \, dx, is a standard integral: 0111+x2dx=arctan(1)arctan(0)=π4.\int_0^1 \frac{1}{1+x^2} \, dx = \arctan(1) - \arctan(0) = \frac{\pi}{4}.

    For the second term: 011x2Idx=I011x2dx\int_0^1 \sqrt{1-x^2} \cdot I \, dx = I \cdot \int_0^1 \sqrt{1-x^2} \, dx The integral 011x2dx\int_0^1 \sqrt{1-x^2} \, dx represents the area of a quarter-circle with radius 11, which is: 011x2dx=π4.\int_0^1 \sqrt{1-x^2} \, dx = \frac{\pi}{4}.

    Substitute this back: I=π4+Iπ4.I = \frac{\pi}{4} + I \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}.

  3. Solve for II:
    Factor out II on the right-hand side: I=π4+π4II = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{4} \cdot I Rearrange: I(1π4)=π4.I \left(1 - \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}. Simplify: I=π41π4.I = \frac{\frac{\pi}{4}}{1 - \frac{\pi}{4}}. Combine into a single fraction: I=π4π.I = \frac{\pi}{4 - \pi}.

Final Answer:

The correct choice is: B.π4π\boxed{B. \frac{\pi}{4-\pi}}


Would you like further clarification on this solution? Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. How do we interpret 011x2dx\int_0^1 \sqrt{1-x^2} \, dx as the area of a geometric shape?
  2. What are some other examples of standard integrals involving arctan(x)\arctan(x)?
  3. Can this problem be solved numerically instead of analytically? Why or why not?
  4. How would the solution change if the limits of integration were different?
  5. Why does the appearance of II on both sides lead to a solvable equation?

Tip: Memorizing standard integrals like 11+x2dx\int \frac{1}{1+x^2} dx and 1x2dx\int \sqrt{1-x^2} dx is crucial for solving problems efficiently!
