Answer

$-6\ln(\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{3}) \approx 3.2958$

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to solve the integral $ \int_{\pi}^{2\pi} \tan (x/6) \ dx$ Let us consider that $a =\dfrac{x}{6}$ and $\ dx=6 \ da$ Now, $\int_{\pi}^{2\pi} \tan (x/6) \ dx =6 \int \tan a \ da$ or, $=-6 \ln |\cos a| +C$ or, $=-6 \ln |\cos (x/6)| +C$ Now, $\int_{\pi}^{2\pi} \tan (x/6) \ dx=[-6 \ln |\cos (x/6)|]_{\pi}^{2\pi}\\=-6[\ln(\dfrac{1}{2})-\ln(\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2})]\\=-6\ln(\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{3}) \approx 3.2958$
