Hint: You must know the integration rules of trigonometric function with its limits


Given: \int_{\frac{-\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log \left(\frac{a-\sin \theta}{a+\sin \theta}\right) d \theta

 

Solution:  I=\int_{\frac{-\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log \left(\frac{a-\sin \theta}{a+\sin \theta}\right) d \theta            .............(i)

Let  f(x)=\log \left(\frac{a-\sin \theta}{a+\sin \theta}\right)

     f(-x)=\log \left(\frac{a-\sin (-\theta)}{a+\sin (-\theta)}\right)

                   =\log \left(\frac{a+\sin \theta}{a-\sin \theta}\right) \quad[\because \sin (-x)=-\sin x]

                   \begin{aligned} &=-\log \left(\frac{a-\sin \theta}{a+\sin \theta}\right) \\ &=-\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \end{aligned}

Hence, f(x) is an odd function.

 

Since, \int_{-a}^{a} f(x) d x=0 if f(x) is an odd.

 

\therefore \int_{\frac{-\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \log \left(\frac{a-\sin \theta}{a+\sin \theta}\right) d \theta=0
