A=∫0π/4tan⁡x dx=[ln⁡∣sec⁡x∣]0π/4=ln⁡(sec⁡π4)−ln⁡(sec⁡0)=ln⁡(2)−ln⁡(1)=12ln⁡2A = \int_0^{\pi/4}\tan x\,dx = \left[\ln|\sec x|\right]_0^{\pi/4} = \ln(\sec\tfrac{\pi}{4}) - \ln(\sec 0) = \ln(\sqrt2) - \ln(1) = \frac{1}{2}\ln 2

Checking this against the printed options -- 13log⁡2\frac13\log2, log⁡2\log2, 2log⁡22\log2, 3log⁡23\log2 -- none equals 12log⁡2\frac12\log2 (numerically about 0.3470.347); the closest in form is option (A), and it is most plausibly a typographical slip of "1/2" printed as "1/3". Our …
