    Answer: 0
    Hint: You must know the integration rules of trigonometric function with its limits

    Given: $\int_{\frac{-\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos ^{2} x \; d x$
    Solution: $I=\int_{\frac{-\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos ^{2} x \; d x$
    $\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x \cos ^{2} x \\\\ &f(-x)=(-x) \cos ^{2}(-x) \\\\ &=-x \cos ^{2} x \\\\ &=-f(x) \end{aligned}$

    $\therefore \int_{\frac{-\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos ^{2} x\; d x=0$

    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.

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

    Definite Integrals exercise Very short answer type question 36

    Answer: $\frac{18}{\log _{e} 3}$
    Hint: you must know the rule of integration
    Given: $I=\int_{2}^{3} 3^{x} d x$
    Solution:
    Let $y=3^{x}$ ..............(i)
    Taking logarithm on both sides
    $\begin{aligned} &\log y=\log 3^{x} \\\\ &\log y=x \log 3 \\\\ &y=e^{x \log 3} \end{aligned}$ ........(ii)
    From eqn (i) and (ii) we can write
    $y=3^{x}=e^{x \log 3}$
    This means instead of integrating $3^{x}$ we will integrate $e^{x \log 3}$
    $\begin{aligned} &I=\int_{2}^{3} 3^{x} d x \\\\ &=\int_{2}^{3} e^{x \log 3} d x \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &=\left[\frac{e^{x \log 3}}{\log 3}\right]_{2}^{3} \\\\ &=\frac{1}{\log 3}\left[e^{3 \log 3}-e^{2 \log 3}\right] \end{aligned}$
    $\begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{\log 3}\left[e^{\log 3^{3}}-e^{\log 3^{2}}\right] \\\\ &=\frac{1}{\log 3}\left[3^{3}-3^{2}\right] \end{aligned}$$\begin{aligned} &=\frac{(27-9)}{\log 3} \\\\ &=\frac{18}{\log 3} \end{aligned}$
