1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The whole integral is a double integral, but I can't even perform the first integration.
The integrand is cosx*sqrt(3+(cosx)^2) dxdy
The x bounds are from arctan(y) to pi/4
the y bounds are from 0 to 1
2. Relevant equations
Converting rectangular to polar may help.
3. The attempt at a solution
I've tried parts, but it was a disaster. I also started converting it to polar, but that was also a disaster.
