  1. A \(\dfrac{\pi\log_e(2)}{2}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{\pi\log_e(2)}{4}\)
  3. C \(1 + \pi\log_e(2)\)
  4. D \(2 + \pi\log_e(2)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\dfrac{\pi\log_e(2)}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I = \displaystyle\int_0^\infty \dfrac{\log_e(x)}{x^2 + 4}\,dx\) Substitute \(x = 2 \tan \theta\), which gives \(dx = 2 \sec^2 \theta \,d\theta\). The limits of integration change from \(x = 0 \to \theta = 0\) to \(x \to \infty \to \theta = \dfrac{\pi}{2}\).…
