Substitute x=tan⁡θx=\tan\theta to turn the limits into 00 to π/4\pi/4, then use the King's property ∫0af(x) dx=∫0af(a−x) dx\int_0^a f(x)\,dx=\int_0^a f(a-x)\,dx with the identity 1+tan⁡(π4−θ)=21+tan⁡θ1+\tan(\tfrac\pi4-\theta)=\dfrac{2}{1+\tan\theta}.

Let I=∫01log⁡(1+x)1+x2 dx\displaystyle I=\int_0^1 \frac{\log(1+x)}{1+x^2}\,dx.

Substitute x=tan⁡θx=\tan\theta, dx=sec⁡2θ dθdx=\sec^2\theta\,d\theta, 1+x2=sec⁡2θ1+x^2=\sec^2\theta. Limits: x=0⇒θ=0x=0\Rightarrow\theta=0; x=1⇒θ=π4x=1\Rightarrow\theta=\tfrac\pi4.

I=∫0π/4log⁡(1+tan⁡θ) dθI = \displaystyle\int_0^{\pi/4}\log(1+\tan\theta)\,d\theta

Apply ∫0af(θ) dθ=∫0af(a−θ) dθ\displaystyle\int_0^a f(\theta)\,d\theta=\int_0^a f(a-\theta)\,d\theta with a=π4a=\tfrac\pi4:
