All Options:

  • Alog1610\displaystyle \log \frac{16}{10}
  • Blog1710\displaystyle \log \frac{17}{10}
  • Clog169\displaystyle \log \frac{16}{9}
  • Dlog179\displaystyle \log \frac{17}{9}

Detailed Solution & Explanation

We need to evaluate the definite integral: I=342x1+x2dxI = \int_{3}^{4} \frac{2x}{1+x^2} dx
Let u=1+x2\displaystyle u = 1 + x^2. Differentiating both sides: du=2xdxdu = 2x \, dx
Change the integration limits for u\displaystyle u: - When x=3\displaystyle x = 3: u=1+32=10\displaystyle u = 1 + 3^2 = 10 - When x=4\displaystyle x = 4: u=1+42=17\displaystyle u = 1 + 4^2 = 17
Substitute these into the integral: I=10171uduI = \int_{10}^{17} \frac{1}{u} du I=[log(u)]1017I = \left[ \log(u) \right]_{10}^{17} I=log(17)log(10)=log(1710)I = \log(17) - \log(10) = \log\left(\frac{17}{10}\right)
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
