GATE | GATE CS 2011 | Question 31
Given i=√-1, what will be the evaluation of the integral 
?
(A) 0
(B) 2
(C) -i
(D) i
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
![\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{\cos x + i\sin x}{\cos x - i\sin x} dx \newline \newline = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{{e}^{ix}}{{e}^{-ix}} dx \hspace{0.2cm}= \int_{0}^{\pi/2} {e}^{2ix} dx \newline \newline = \frac{1}{2i} [{e}^{2ix}]^{\pi/2}_{0} \hspace{0.2cm} = \frac{1}{2i} [{e}^{i\pi} - {e}^{0}] \newline \newline = \frac{1}{2i} [\cos \pi + i\sin \pi - 1] \newline \newline = \frac{1}{2i}[-1 + 0 - 1] \times \frac{i}{i} = i](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-a12d7a161b7c1bd24c2d936e6157ec5e_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
