If integral subscript 0 superscript straight a fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 plus straight x squared end fraction dx equals straight pi over 8, find the value of a.

Solution
bold Given bold space bold that integral subscript 0 superscript straight a fraction numerator dx over denominator 4 plus straight x squared end fraction equals straight pi over 8
We space need space to space find space the space value space of space straight a.
Let space straight I space equals space integral subscript 0 superscript straight a fraction numerator dx over denominator 4 plus straight x squared end fraction equals space straight pi over 8
Thus comma space straight I space equals space 1 half open parentheses tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight x over 2 close parentheses subscript 0 superscript straight a equals space space straight pi over 8
rightwards double arrow 1 half tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight a over 2 equals straight pi over 8
rightwards double arrow tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight a over 2 equals 2 cross times straight pi over 8
rightwards double arrow tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent straight a over 2 equals straight pi over 4
rightwards double arrow straight a over 2 equals 1
rightwards double arrow straight a equals 2
