This one should lead you to a well-known tedious integral.
God, is a trek to integrate (Sorry for the sides cropped off, my scanner actually sucks, pretty much only the dus were cropped on the right, and at the bottom I was just saying that the square root of 3+2√2 was 1+√2)

Well done!!!
The integral of square root tangent is notorious.😈















For those who are interested, this is the indefinite integral.

I regret I have picked these numbers as upper and lower limits. It is quite messy to rationalize the answer.o_O
Nevertheless, it is a good practice for rationalization skills. Isn't it?

Applying the cotangent angle sum identity and looking up the exact values of and will get rid of all the trig functions from the final answer, but rationalising it... does not look fun.

The auxiliary angle method is quite a neat trick here.

This one closely resembles an earlier integral...shouldn't take too long to solve.
