Essentially, we want to integrate
I=0π2sin2(t)dt1+csin2(t)
where c<1. We have
I=k=0(c)k0π2sin2k+2(t)dt=π8k=0(c4)k(2k+2k+1)
=π2c(1+c11+c)
11+r=k=0(r)k02πsin2kdx=(2kk)2π22k
114x=k=0(2kk)xkx[14,14)
The integral you have is
J=2ab20π2sin2(x)1+(a2b2b2)sin2(x)dx=2ab2π2c(|ab|1|ab|)
=aπa2b2|a||b||a|
This gives you
J=sign(a)|a|+|b|π
