What is \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}g(t)\,dt equal to?

Direction: Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow : Let f(t)=\ln(t+\sqrt{1+t^{2}}) and g(t)=\tan(f(t)).

  1. A. -1
  2. B. 0
  3. C. 1/2
  4. D. 1

Correct Answer: B. 0

Explanation

As established, g(t) is an odd function. By the property of definite integrals, the integral of any odd function over a symmetric interval [-a, a] is always 0. Therefore, \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} g(t)\,dt = 0.
