Answer

upper bound=1 and lower bound =$\frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\frac{1}{1-x^2}$ is decreasing on[0,1] -maximum value that f occurs at 0 =>max f=f(01 -minimum value of f occurs at 1 =>min f=f(1)=$\frac{1}{1+1}=\frac{1}{2}$ -therefore(1-0) min f $\leq\int^{1}_{0}\frac{1}{1-x^2}dx\leq(1-0)$ -max f $\frac{1}{2}\leq\int^{1}_{0}\frac{1}{1+x^2}dx\leq1$ -that is an upper bound=1 and -a lower bound =$\frac{1}{2}$
