Answer

$\frac{\pi}{12}\leq \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\tan x dx\leq \frac{\sqrt 3\pi}{12}$

Work Step by Step

$$\frac{\pi}{4} \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{3}$$ The tangent function is increasing on the given domain: $$\tan\frac{\pi}{4}\leq \tan x \leq \tan\frac{\pi}{3}$$ $$1 \leq \tan x \leq \sqrt 3$$ Using the property $8$ it follows: $$1\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \leq \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\tan x dx\leq \sqrt 3\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$$ $$\frac{\pi}{12}\leq \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/3}\tan x dx\leq \frac{\sqrt 3\pi}{12}$$
