This is a tricky question
First put x = -x and add
I = \int \limits_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}log(sinx+cosx)dx = \int \limits_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}log(-sinx+cosx)dx
2I = \int \limits_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}log(-sin^2x+cos^2x)dx = \int \limits_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}log(cos2x)dx = 2\int \limits_{0}^{\pi/4}log(cos2x)dxI =\int \limits_{0}^{\pi/4}log(cos2x)dx
Now put 2x = t which implies, dx = dt/2
I =1/2\int \limits_{0}^{\pi/2}log(cost)dt
Now refer to the following steps to solve for the simplified integral
