Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{-\pi}{4 \sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\quad f(x)=\int \frac{d x}{x^2+(\sqrt{2})^2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+c\) Since at \(x=\sqrt{2}, f(x)=0\) \[ \Rightarrow 0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan ^{-1}(1)+c \Rightarrow c=-\frac{\pi}{4 \sqrt{2}} \] Hence…
