Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}} d x$ .... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}}{\sqrt{\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}+\sqrt{\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}} d x$
Since $\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = \cos x$ and $\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = \sin x$,we have:

Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x} + \sqrt{\cos x}}{\sqrt{\sin x} + \sqrt{\cos x}} d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 d x$
$2I = [x]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$
$2I = \frac{\pi}{2} - 0$

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin^{\frac{3}{2}} x}{\sin^{\frac{3}{2}} x + \cos^{\frac{3}{2}} x} dx$.

Solution

Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin^{\frac{3}{2}} x}{\sin^{\frac{3}{2}} x + \cos^{\frac{3}{2}} x} dx$ ..... $(1)$

$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos ^{5}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}{\sin ^{5}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)+\cos ^{5}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)} d x$
Since $\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = \sin x$ and $\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = \cos x$,we have:

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{-5}^{5}|x+2| d x$.

Solution

Let $I = \int_{-5}^{5}|x+2| d x$.
It can be seen that $(x+2) \leq 0$ on $[-5, -2]$ and $(x+2) \geq 0$ on $[-2, 5]$.
Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x = \int_{a}^{c} f(x) d x + \int_{c}^{b} f(x) d x$,we have:
$I = \int_{-5}^{-2} -(x+2) d x + \int_{-2}^{5} (x+2) d x$
$I = -\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2x\right]_{-5}^{-2} + \left[\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2x\right]_{-2}^{5}$
$I = -\left[\left(\frac{(-2)^{2}}{2} + 2(-2)\right) - \left(\frac{(-5)^{2}}{2} + 2(-5)\right)\right] + \left[\left(\frac{5^{2}}{2} + 2(5)\right) - \left(\frac{(-2)^{2}}{2} + 2(-2)\right)\right]$
$I = -\left[(2 - 4) - (12.5 - 10)\right] + \left[(12.5 + 10) - (2 - 4)\right]$
$I = -[-2 - 2.5] + [22.5 - (-2)]$
$I = -[-4.5] + [24.5]$
$I = 4.5 + 24.5 = 29$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{2}^{8}|x-5| d x$.
A
$9$
B
$10$
C
$11$
D
$12$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{2}^{8} |x-5| dx$.
Since the integrand $|x-5|$ changes its sign at $x=5$,we split the integral at $x=5$ using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{a}^{c} f(x) dx + \int_{c}^{b} f(x) dx$.
$I = \int_{2}^{5} -(x-5) dx + \int_{5}^{8} (x-5) dx$.
Evaluating the first integral:
$\int_{2}^{5} (-x+5) dx = [-\frac{x^2}{2} + 5x]_{2}^{5} = (-\frac{25}{2} + 25) - (-\frac{4}{2} + 10) = \frac{25}{2} - 8 = \frac{9}{2}$.
Evaluating the second integral:
$\int_{5}^{8} (x-5) dx = [\frac{x^2}{2} - 5x]_{5}^{8} = (\frac{64}{2} - 40) - (\frac{25}{2} - 25) = (32 - 40) - (-12.5) = -8 + 12.5 = \frac{9}{2}$.
Adding both parts:
$I = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{9}{2} = 9$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{1} x(1-x)^{n} d x$.

Solution

Let $I = \int_{0}^{1} x(1-x)^{n} d x$.
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{1} (1-x)(1-(1-x))^{n} d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{1} (1-x)(x)^{n} d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{1} (x^{n} - x^{n+1}) d x$
Integrating term by term:
$I = \left[ \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} - \frac{x^{n+2}}{n+2} \right]_{0}^{1}$
Evaluating at the limits:
$I = \left( \frac{1^{n+1}}{n+1} - \frac{1^{n+2}}{n+2} \right) - (0 - 0)$
$I = \frac{1}{n+1} - \frac{1}{n+2}$
$I = \frac{(n+2) - (n+1)}{(n+1)(n+2)}$
$I = \frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)}$

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log (1+\tan x) d x$.
A
$\frac{\pi}{8} \log 2$
B
$\frac{\pi}{4} \log 2$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$
D
$\frac{\pi}{8} \log \frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log (1+\tan x) d x$ ..... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log \left[1+\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-x\right)\right] d x$
Using $\tan(A-B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B}$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log \left\{1+\frac{\tan \frac{\pi}{4}-\tan x}{1+\tan \frac{\pi}{4} \tan x}\right\} d x$
Since $\tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log \left\{1+\frac{1-\tan x}{1+\tan x}\right\} d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log \left\{\frac{1+\tan x + 1 - \tan x}{1+\tan x}\right\} d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log \left(\frac{2}{1+\tan x}\right) d x$
Using $\log(\frac{a}{b}) = \log a - \log b$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log 2 d x - \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log (1+\tan x) d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \log 2 d x - I$ (From equation $(1)$)
$2I = [x \log 2]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}$
$2I = \frac{\pi}{4} \log 2$
$I = \frac{\pi}{8} \log 2$

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{2} x \sqrt{2-x} \, dx$.
A
$16\sqrt{2}/15$
B
$8\sqrt{2}/15$
C
$16\sqrt{2}/5$
D
$32\sqrt{2}/15$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{0}^{2} x \sqrt{2-x} \, dx$.
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) \, dx$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{2} (2-x) \sqrt{2-(2-x)} \, dx = \int_{0}^{2} (2-x) \sqrt{x} \, dx$.
$I = \int_{0}^{2} (2x^{1/2} - x^{3/2}) \, dx$.
Integrating term by term:
$I = \left[ 2 \cdot \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} - \frac{x^{5/2}}{5/2} \right]_{0}^{2} = \left[ \frac{4}{3} x^{3/2} - \frac{2}{5} x^{5/2} \right]_{0}^{2}$.
Substituting the limits:
$I = \left( \frac{4}{3} (2)^{3/2} - \frac{2}{5} (2)^{5/2} \right) - 0$.
Since $(2)^{3/2} = 2\sqrt{2}$ and $(2)^{5/2} = 4\sqrt{2}$:
$I = \frac{4}{3} (2\sqrt{2}) - \frac{2}{5} (4\sqrt{2}) = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3} - \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{5}$.
Taking the common denominator:
$I = \frac{40\sqrt{2} - 24\sqrt{2}}{15} = \frac{16\sqrt{2}}{15}$.

C
$\pi \log 2$
D

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}(2 \log \sin x - \log \sin 2x) dx$.
Using the property $\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \{2 \log \sin x - \log (2 \sin x \cos x)\} dx$
Using $\log(abc) = \log a + \log b + \log c$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \{2 \log \sin x - (\log 2 + \log \sin x + \log \cos x)\} dx$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (\log \sin x - \log \cos x - \log 2) dx$ ...... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) dx$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (\log \cos x - \log \sin x - \log 2) dx$ ...... $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (\log \sin x - \log \cos x - \log 2 + \log \cos x - \log \sin x - \log 2) dx$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (-2 \log 2) dx$
$2I = -2 \log 2 [x]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$
$2I = -2 \log 2 (\frac{\pi}{2})$
$2I = -\pi \log 2$
$I = -\frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin ^{2} x \, dx$.

Solution

(N/A) Let $I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{2} x \, dx$.
Since $\sin^{2}(-x) = (\sin(-x))^{2} = (-\sin x)^{2} = \sin^{2} x$,the function $f(x) = \sin^{2} x$ is an even function.
Using the property $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) \, dx = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx$ for an even function:
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{2} x \, dx$.
Using the trigonometric identity $\sin^{2} x = \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2}$:
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2} \, dx = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (1 - \cos 2x) \, dx$.
Integrating the terms:
$I = \left[ x - \frac{\sin 2x}{2} \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$.
Evaluating at the limits:
$I = \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\sin(\pi)}{2} \right) - (0 - 0) = \frac{\pi}{2} - 0 = \frac{\pi}{2}$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \, dx}{1+\sin x}$.

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \, dx}{1+\sin x} \quad \dots (1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) \, dx$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi-x) \, dx}{1+\sin(\pi-x)} = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\pi-x}{1+\sin x} \, dx \quad \dots (2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x + \pi - x}{1+\sin x} \, dx = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{1+\sin x} \, dx$
Multiply numerator and denominator by $(1-\sin x)$:
$2I = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1-\sin x}{1-\sin^2 x} \, dx = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1-\sin x}{\cos^2 x} \, dx$
$2I = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} (\sec^2 x - \sec x \tan x) \, dx$
Integrating the terms:
$2I = \pi [\tan x - \sec x]_{0}^{\pi}$
$2I = \pi [(\tan \pi - \sec \pi) - (\tan 0 - \sec 0)]$
$2I = \pi [(0 - (-1)) - (0 - 1)] = \pi [1 + 1] = 2\pi$
Therefore,$I = \pi$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx$.

Solution

(0) Let $I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx$ ..... $(1)$
Let $f(x) = \sin^{7} x$.
Check if the function is even or odd:
$f(-x) = \sin^{7}(-x) = (\sin(-x))^{7} = (-\sin x)^{7} = -\sin^{7} x = -f(x)$.
Since $f(-x) = -f(x)$,the function $f(x) = \sin^{7} x$ is an odd function.
According to the property of definite integrals,if $f(x)$ is an odd function,then $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) \, dx = 0$.
Therefore,$I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx = 0$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{2 \pi} \cos ^{5} x \, dx$.

Solution

(0) Let $I = \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \cos ^{5} x \, dx$ ..... $(1)$
We know the property: $\int_{0}^{2a} f(x) \, dx = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx$ if $f(2a-x) = f(x)$,and $0$ if $f(2a-x) = -f(x)$.
Here,$f(x) = \cos^5 x$.
Checking $f(2\pi - x) = \cos^5(2\pi - x) = (\cos(2\pi - x))^5 = (\cos x)^5 = \cos^5 x = f(x)$.
Therefore,$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} \cos^5 x \, dx$.
Now,for $\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos^5 x \, dx$,we use the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx = 0$ if $f(a-x) = -f(x)$.
Here,$f(\pi - x) = \cos^5(\pi - x) = (\cos(\pi - x))^5 = (-\cos x)^5 = -\cos^5 x = -f(x)$.
Thus,$\int_{0}^{\pi} \cos^5 x \, dx = 0$.
Hence,$I = 2 \times 0 = 0$.

$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x - \cos x}{1 + \sin x \cos x} dx$ ..... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a - x) dx$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) - \cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - x)}{1 + \sin(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) \cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - x)} dx$
Since $\sin(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = \cos x$ and $\cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = \sin x$,we have:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{1 + \cos x \sin x} dx$ ..... $(2)$
Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$I + I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x - \cos x}{1 + \sin x \cos x} dx + \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{1 + \sin x \cos x} dx$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x - \cos x + \cos x - \sin x}{1 + \sin x \cos x} dx$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{0}{1 + \sin x \cos x} dx$
$2I = 0$
$I = 0$

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{\pi} \log (1+\cos x) d x$.

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \log (1+\cos x) d x$ ..... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \log (1+\cos(\pi-x)) d x = \int_{0}^{\pi} \log (1-\cos x) d x$ ..... $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \{\log(1+\cos x) + \log(1-\cos x)\} d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \log(1-\cos^2 x) d x = \int_{0}^{\pi} \log(\sin^2 x) d x$
$2I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} \log(\sin x) d x \Rightarrow I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \log(\sin x) d x$
Using $\int_{0}^{2a} f(x) d x = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x$ if $f(2a-x) = f(x)$:
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\sin x) d x$ ..... $(3)$
Also,$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\cos x) d x$ ..... $(4)$
Adding $(3)$ and $(4)$:
$2I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} (\log(\sin x) + \log(\cos x)) d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\sin x \cos x) d x = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log\left(\frac{\sin 2x}{2}\right) d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\sin 2x) d x - \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log 2 d x$
Let $2x = t$,then $2 dx = dt$. When $x=0, t=0$; when $x=\pi/2, t=\pi$:
$I = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi} \log(\sin t) d t - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$
$I = \frac{1}{2} (2 \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\sin t) d t) - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2 = I - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$ (Wait,this implies $I = I - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$,which is incorrect. Re-evaluating: $I = \frac{1}{2} I - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$ is wrong. The correct step is $I = \frac{1}{2} (2I) - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2$ is not right. Actually,$\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\sin 2x) d x = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\pi} \log(\sin t) d t = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \log(\sin t) d t = I/2$.)
Thus,$I = I/2 - \frac{\pi}{2} \log 2 \Rightarrow I/2 = -\frac{\pi}{2} \log 2 \Rightarrow I = -\pi \log 2$.

By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{a-x}} d x$.

Solution

Let $I = \int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{a-x}} d x$ $(1)$
We use the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$.
Applying this property to $(1)$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{a-x}}{\sqrt{a-x}+\sqrt{a-(a-x)}} d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{a-x}}{\sqrt{a-x}+\sqrt{x}} d x$ $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$,we obtain:
$2I = \int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{a-x}} d x + \int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{a-x}}{\sqrt{a-x}+\sqrt{x}} d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{a} \frac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{a-x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{a-x}} d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{a} 1 d x$
$2I = [x]_{0}^{a}$
$2I = a - 0 = a$

A

B
$4$
C
$5$
D
$6$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int_{0}^{4}|x-1| d x$.
We know that the absolute value function $|x-1|$ changes its sign at $x = 1$.
Specifically,$(x-1) \leq 0$ for $0 \leq x \leq 1$ and $(x-1) \geq 0$ for $1 \leq x \leq 4$.
Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) d x = \int_{a}^{c} f(x) d x + \int_{c}^{b} f(x) d x$,we can split the integral as:
$I = \int_{0}^{1} -(x-1) d x + \int_{1}^{4} (x-1) d x$.
Now,evaluate the integrals:
$I = \int_{0}^{1} (1-x) d x + \int_{1}^{4} (x-1) d x$.
$I = \left[ x - \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{1} + \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} - x \right]_{1}^{4}$.
For the first part: $\left( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \right) - (0 - 0) = \frac{1}{2}$.
For the second part: $\left( \frac{16}{2} - 4 \right) - \left( \frac{1}{2} - 1 \right) = (8 - 4) - \left( -\frac{1}{2} \right) = 4 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{2}$.
Therefore,$I = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{9}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$.

(N/A) Let $I = \int_{0}^{a} f(x) g(x) \, dx$ ..... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) \, dx$,we have:
$I = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) g(a-x) \, dx$
Given $f(x) = f(a-x)$,this becomes:
$I = \int_{0}^{a} f(x) g(a-x) \, dx$ ..... $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$,we obtain:
$2I = \int_{0}^{a} \{f(x) g(x) + f(x) g(a-x)\} \, dx$
$2I = \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \{g(x) + g(a-x)\} \, dx$
Given $g(x) + g(a-x) = 4$,we substitute this into the integral:
$2I = \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \times 4 \, dx$
$2I = 4 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx$
Dividing by $2$,we get:
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx$

The value of $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (x^{3} + x \cos x + \tan^{5} x + 1) dx$ is
A
$\pi$
B
$0$
C
$2$
D
$1$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (x^{3} + x \cos x + \tan^{5} x + 1) dx$.
We can split the integral as:
$I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x^{3} dx + \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos x dx + \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \tan^{5} x dx + \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 dx$.
Recall the property of definite integrals: If $f(x)$ is an odd function,then $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) dx = 0$. If $f(x)$ is an even function,then $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) dx = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx$.
$1$. $f_{1}(x) = x^{3}$ is an odd function,so $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x^{3} dx = 0$.
$2$. $f_{2}(x) = x \cos x$ is an odd function (since $(-x) \cos(-x) = -x \cos x$),so $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} x \cos x dx = 0$.
$3$. $f_{3}(x) = \tan^{5} x$ is an odd function (since $\tan^{5}(-x) = -\tan^{5} x$),so $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \tan^{5} x dx = 0$.
$4$. $f_{4}(x) = 1$ is an even function,so $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 dx = 2 \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 dx = 2[x]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = 2(\frac{\pi}{2} - 0) = \pi$.
Thus,$I = 0 + 0 + 0 + \pi = \pi$.
Hence,the correct answer is $A$.

A
$2$
B
$0$
C
$\frac{3}{4}$
D
$-2$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(\frac{4+3 \sin x}{4+3 \cos x}\right) d x$ ..... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(\frac{4+3 \sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}{4+3 \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}\right) d x$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(\frac{4+3 \cos x}{4+3 \sin x}\right) d x$ ..... $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left[ \ln \left(\frac{4+3 \sin x}{4+3 \cos x}\right) + \ln \left(\frac{4+3 \cos x}{4+3 \sin x}\right) \right] d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left( \frac{4+3 \sin x}{4+3 \cos x} \cdot \frac{4+3 \cos x}{4+3 \sin x} \right) d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln(1) d x$
Since $\ln(1) = 0$,we have $2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 0 d x = 0$.
Therefore,$I = 0$.

Evaluate $\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \, dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2} x+b^{2} \sin ^{2} x}$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \, dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2} x+b^{2} \sin ^{2} x}$.
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) \, dx$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi-x) \, dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2}(\pi-x)+b^{2} \sin ^{2}(\pi-x)} = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi-x) \, dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2} x+b^{2} \sin ^{2} x}$.
Adding the two expressions for $I$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\pi \, dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2} x+b^{2} \sin ^{2} x} = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2} x+b^{2} \sin ^{2} x}$.
Using the property $\int_{0}^{2a} f(x) \, dx = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx$ if $f(2a-x) = f(x)$:
$2I = 2\pi \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{dx}{a^{2} \cos ^{2} x+b^{2} \sin ^{2} x} \implies I = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{\sec^2 x \, dx}{a^{2} + b^{2} \tan ^{2} x}$.
Let $t = \tan x$,then $dt = \sec^2 x \, dx$. As $x \to 0, t \to 0$ and as $x \to \pi/2, t \to \infty$.
$I = \pi \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dt}{a^{2} + b^{2} t^{2}} = \frac{\pi}{b^2} \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dt}{(a/b)^2 + t^2}$.
Using $\int \frac{dx}{k^2 + x^2} = \frac{1}{k} \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{k})$:
$I = \frac{\pi}{b^2} \cdot \frac{1}{a/b} \left[ \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{t}{a/b} \right) \right]_{0}^{\infty} = \frac{\pi}{ab} \left[ \tan^{-1}(\infty) - \tan^{-1}(0) \right] = \frac{\pi}{ab} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi^2}{2ab}$.

Evaluate the definite integral $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos ^{2} x}{\cos ^{2} x+4 \sin ^{2} x} d x$.

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos ^{2} x}{\cos ^{2} x+4 \sin ^{2} x} d x$.
Divide numerator and denominator by $\cos^{2} x$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{1+4 \tan ^{2} x} d x$.
Let $2 \tan x = t$,then $2 \sec^{2} x d x = d t$,so $d x = \frac{d t}{2(1+\tan^{2} x)} = \frac{d t}{2(1+t^{2}/4)} = \frac{2 d t}{4+t^{2}}$.
When $x = 0, t = 0$; when $x = \frac{\pi}{2}, t \to \infty$.
$I = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{1+t^{2}} \cdot \frac{2 d t}{4+t^{2}} = 2 \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{d t}{(1+t^{2})(4+t^{2})}$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{1}{(1+t^{2})(4+t^{2})} = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{1}{1+t^{2}} - \frac{1}{4+t^{2}} \right)$.
$I = \frac{2}{3} \left[ \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{d t}{1+t^{2}} - \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{d t}{4+t^{2}} \right]$.
$I = \frac{2}{3} \left[ \tan^{-1}(t) \Big|_{0}^{\infty} - \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1}(\frac{t}{2}) \Big|_{0}^{\infty} \right]$.
$I = \frac{2}{3} \left[ \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2} \right] = \frac{2}{3} \left[ \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{4} \right] = \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

Evaluate the definite integral $\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \tan x}{\sec x+\tan x} d x$.

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{x \tan x}{\sec x+\tan x} d x$....$(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi-x) \tan(\pi-x)}{\sec(\pi-x)+\tan(\pi-x)} d x$
Since $\tan(\pi-x) = -\tan x$ and $\sec(\pi-x) = -\sec x$,we have:
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{-(\pi-x) \tan x}{-(\sec x+\tan x)} d x = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{(\pi-x) \tan x}{\sec x+\tan x} d x$....$(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\pi \tan x}{\sec x+\tan x} d x = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{\sin x}{1+\sin x} d x$
$2I = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1+\sin x - 1}{1+\sin x} d x = \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} (1 - \frac{1}{1+\sin x}) d x$
$2I = \pi [x]_{0}^{\pi} - \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1-\sin x}{\cos^2 x} d x$
$2I = \pi^2 - \pi \int_{0}^{\pi} (\sec^2 x - \sec x \tan x) d x$
$2I = \pi^2 - \pi [\tan x - \sec x]_{0}^{\pi}$
$2I = \pi^2 - \pi [(\tan \pi - \sec \pi) - (\tan 0 - \sec 0)]$
$2I = \pi^2 - \pi [(0 - (-1)) - (0 - 1)] = \pi^2 - \pi [1 + 1] = \pi^2 - 2\pi$
$I = \frac{\pi}{2}(\pi - 2)$

Prove that $\int_{-1}^{1} x^{17} \cos^{4} x \, dx = 0$.

Solution

Let $I = \int_{-1}^{1} x^{17} \cos^{4} x \, dx$.
Define the function $f(x) = x^{17} \cos^{4} x$.
Now,check for parity by evaluating $f(-x)$:
$f(-x) = (-x)^{17} \cos^{4}(-x)$.
Since $(-x)^{17} = -x^{17}$ and $\cos(-x) = \cos x$,we have:
$f(-x) = -x^{17} \cos^{4} x = -f(x)$.
Since $f(-x) = -f(x)$,the function $f(x)$ is an odd function.
According to the property of definite integrals,if $f(x)$ is an odd function,then $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) \, dx = 0$.
Therefore,$\int_{-1}^{1} x^{17} \cos^{4} x \, dx = 0$.
Hence,the result is proved.

B

C
$\frac{a+b}{2} \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx$
D
$\frac{b-a}{2} \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int_{a}^{b} x f(x) dx$ --- $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} g(x) dx = \int_{a}^{b} g(a+b-x) dx$,we have:
$I = \int_{a}^{b} (a+b-x) f(a+b-x) dx$
Since $f(a+b-x) = f(x)$,the integral becomes:
$I = \int_{a}^{b} (a+b-x) f(x) dx$
Expanding the integral:
$I = (a+b) \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx - \int_{a}^{b} x f(x) dx$
Substituting $I$ from equation $(1)$:
$I = (a+b) \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx - I$
Adding $I$ to both sides:
$2I = (a+b) \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx$
Dividing by $2$:
$I = \frac{a+b}{2} \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx$
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

Let $f:(0,2) \rightarrow R$ be defined as $f(x) = \log_{2}\left(1+\tan\left(\frac{\pi x}{4}\right)\right)$. Then,$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{2}{n}\left(f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)+f\left(\frac{2}{n}\right)+\ldots+f(1)\right)$ is equal to
A
$2$
B
$1$
C

D
$5$

Solution

(B) The given limit is $E = 2 \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{r=1}^{n} f\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)$.
This is a Riemann sum,which can be written as the definite integral $E = 2 \int_{0}^{1} f(x) dx$.
Substituting $f(x) = \log_{2}\left(1+\tan\left(\frac{\pi x}{4}\right)\right) = \frac{\ln(1+\tan(\pi x/4))}{\ln 2}$,we get:
$E = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \int_{0}^{1} \ln\left(1+\tan\frac{\pi x}{4}\right) dx \quad \dots(i)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} g(x) dx = \int_{0}^{a} g(a-x) dx$,we replace $x$ with $1-x$:
$E = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \int_{0}^{1} \ln\left(1+\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}(1-x)\right)\right) dx$
$E = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \int_{0}^{1} \ln\left(1+\frac{1-\tan(\pi x/4)}{1+\tan(\pi x/4)}\right) dx$
$E = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \int_{0}^{1} \ln\left(\frac{2}{1+\tan(\pi x/4)}\right) dx$
$E = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \int_{0}^{1} (\ln 2 - \ln(1+\tan(\pi x/4))) dx \quad \dots(ii)$
Adding $(i)$ and $(ii)$:
$2E = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \int_{0}^{1} \ln 2 dx = \frac{2}{\ln 2} \cdot \ln 2 = 2$
Therefore,$E = 1$.

Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be a continuous function such that $f(x)+f(x+1)=2$ for all $x \in R$. If $I_{1}=\int_{0}^{8} f(x) d x$ and $I_{2}=\int_{-1}^{3} f(x) d x$,then the value of $I_{1}+2 I_{2}$ is equal to:
A
$25$
B
$16$
C
$32$
D
$40$

Solution

(B) Given $f(x)+f(x+1)=2$.
Integrating both sides from $0$ to $1$,we get $\int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x + \int_{0}^{1} f(x+1) d x = \int_{0}^{1} 2 d x$.
Using the substitution $t=x+1$ in the second integral,we have $\int_{0}^{1} f(x) d x + \int_{1}^{2} f(t) d t = 2$,which implies $\int_{0}^{2} f(x) d x = 2$.
Since $f(x)+f(x+1)=2$,$f(x+2) = 2-f(x+1) = 2-(2-f(x)) = f(x)$,so $f(x)$ is periodic with period $T=2$.
$I_{1} = \int_{0}^{8} f(x) d x = \frac{8}{2} \int_{0}^{2} f(x) d x = 4 \times 2 = 8$.
$I_{2} = \int_{-1}^{3} f(x) d x$. Since $f(x)$ has period $2$,$\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x) d x$ is independent of $a$.
Thus,$I_{2} = \int_{0}^{4} f(x) d x = \frac{4}{2} \int_{0}^{2} f(x) d x = 2 \times 2 = 4$.
Therefore,$I_{1}+2 I_{2} = 8 + 2(4) = 8 + 8 = 16$.

A

B

C
$\sqrt{2} \pi^{2}$
D
$\frac{\pi^{2}}{2}$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} |\pi - |x|| \, dx$.
Since the integrand $f(x) = |\pi - |x||$ is an even function,we can write:
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} |\pi - |x|| \, dx$.
For $x \in [0, \pi]$,$|x| = x$,so the expression becomes:
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} |\pi - x| \, dx$.
Since $x \leq \pi$ in the interval $[0, \pi]$,$\pi - x \geq 0$,thus $|\pi - x| = \pi - x$.
$I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} (\pi - x) \, dx$.
$I = 2 \left[ \pi x - \frac{x^{2}}{2} \right]_{0}^{\pi}$.
$I = 2 \left( (\pi(\pi) - \frac{\pi^{2}}{2}) - (0 - 0) \right)$.
$I = 2 \left( \pi^{2} - \frac{\pi^{2}}{2} \right) = 2 \left( \frac{\pi^{2}}{2} \right) = \pi^{2}$.

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1}{1+e^{\sin x}} dx$ $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx$,we get:
$I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1}{1+e^{\sin(-\pi / 2 + \pi / 2 - x)}} dx = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1}{1+e^{-\sin x}} dx$
$I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{e^{\sin x}}{e^{\sin x} + 1} dx$ $(2)$
Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \left( \frac{1}{1+e^{\sin x}} + \frac{e^{\sin x}}{1+e^{\sin x}} \right) dx$
$2I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1+e^{\sin x}}{1+e^{\sin x}} dx = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} 1 dx$
$2I = [x]_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} = \frac{\pi}{2} - (-\frac{\pi}{2}) = \pi$

B
$\frac{5050}{5049}$
C
$\frac{5049}{5050}$
D
$\frac{5051}{5050}$

Solution

(A) We are given $I_{1} = \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{50})^{100} dx$ and $I_{2} = \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{50})^{101} dx$.
We can write $I_{2}$ as:
$I_{2} = \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{50}) (1 - x^{50})^{100} dx$
$I_{2} = \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{50})^{100} dx - \int_{0}^{1} x^{50} (1 - x^{50})^{100} dx$
$I_{2} = I_{1} - \int_{0}^{1} x \cdot (x^{49} (1 - x^{50})^{100}) dx$
Using Integration by Parts $(IBP)$ for the second integral,let $u = x$ and $dv = x^{49} (1 - x^{50})^{100} dx$.
Then $du = dx$ and $v = \int x^{49} (1 - x^{50})^{100} dx$.
Let $1 - x^{50} = t$,then $-50x^{49} dx = dt$,so $x^{49} dx = -\frac{dt}{50}$.
$v = \int t^{100} (-\frac{dt}{50}) = -\frac{t^{101}}{5050} = -\frac{(1 - x^{50})^{101}}{5050}$.
Applying $IBP$:
$\int_{0}^{1} x \cdot (x^{49} (1 - x^{50})^{100}) dx = [x \cdot (-\frac{(1 - x^{50})^{101}}{5050})]_{0}^{1} - \int_{0}^{1} (-\frac{(1 - x^{50})^{101}}{5050}) dx$
$= [0 - 0] + \frac{1}{5050} \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{50})^{101} dx = \frac{1}{5050} I_{2}$.
Substituting this back into the equation for $I_{2}$:
$I_{2} = I_{1} - \frac{1}{5050} I_{2}$
$I_{2} (1 + \frac{1}{5050}) = I_{1}$
$I_{2} (\frac{5051}{5050}) = I_{1}$
$I_{2} = \frac{5050}{5051} I_{1}$.
Since $I_{2} = \alpha I_{1}$,we have $\alpha = \frac{5050}{5051}$.

Which of the following statements is incorrect for the function $g(\alpha)$ for $\alpha \in R$ such that $g(\alpha)=\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sin^{\alpha} x}{\cos^{\alpha} x+\sin^{\alpha} x} dx$?
A
$g(\alpha)$ is a strictly increasing function
B
$g(\alpha)$ has an inflection point at $\alpha=-\frac{1}{2}$
C
$g(\alpha)$ is a strictly decreasing function
D
$g(\alpha)$ is an even function

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx$.
Here,$a = \frac{\pi}{6}$ and $b = \frac{\pi}{3}$,so $a+b = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
$g(\alpha) = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sin^{\alpha} x}{\sin^{\alpha} x + \cos^{\alpha} x} dx$ ... $(i)$
Using the property,$g(\alpha) = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sin^{\alpha}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}{\sin^{\alpha}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) + \cos^{\alpha}(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)} dx = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\cos^{\alpha} x}{\cos^{\alpha} x + \sin^{\alpha} x} dx$ ... $(ii)$
Adding $(i)$ and $(ii)$:
$2g(\alpha) = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \frac{\sin^{\alpha} x + \cos^{\alpha} x}{\sin^{\alpha} x + \cos^{\alpha} x} dx = \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} 1 dx = \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{6}$.
Thus,$g(\alpha) = \frac{\pi}{12}$,which is a constant function.
$A$ constant function is neither strictly increasing nor strictly decreasing.
Therefore,statements $A$,$B$,and $C$ are all incorrect.

Let $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ be two functions satisfying $f(x^{2}) + g(4-x) = 4x^{3}$ and $g(4-x) + g(x) = 0$. Then the value of $\int_{-4}^{4} f(x) dx$ is
A
$373$
B
$496$
C
$584$
D
$512$

Solution

(D) Given $f(x^{2}) + g(4-x) = 4x^{3}$ and $g(4-x) = -g(x)$.
Substituting $g(4-x) = -g(x)$ into the first equation,we get $f(x^{2}) - g(x) = 4x^{3}$,so $f(x^{2}) = 4x^{3} + g(x)$.
We want to evaluate $I = \int_{-4}^{4} f(x) dx$. Let $x = t^{2}$,then $dx = 2t dt$. However,since $f(x)$ is defined via $f(x^{2})$,we consider the integral $\int_{-4}^{4} f(x^{2}) dx$.
Since $f(x^{2}) = 4x^{3} + g(x)$,we have $\int_{-4}^{4} f(x^{2}) dx = \int_{-4}^{4} (4x^{3} + g(x)) dx$.
$= \int_{-4}^{4} 4x^{3} dx + \int_{-4}^{4} g(x) dx$.
Since $4x^{3}$ is an odd function,$\int_{-4}^{4} 4x^{3} dx = 0$.
Given $g(4-x) = -g(x)$,let $u = 4-x$,then $du = -dx$. The integral $\int_{-4}^{4} g(x) dx$ becomes $\int_{8}^{0} g(4-u) (-du) = \int_{0}^{8} g(4-u) du = \int_{0}^{8} -g(u) du$. This implies the integral of $g(x)$ over symmetric intervals is $0$.
Thus,the integral evaluates to $0$.

If the integral $\int_{0}^{10} \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{ x -[ x ]}} dx =\alpha e ^{-1}+\beta e ^{-\frac{1}{2}}+\gamma$,where $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are integers and $[ x ]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$,then the value of $\alpha+\beta+\gamma$ is equal to ........ .
A
$0$
B
$20$
C
$25$
D
$10$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{0}^{10} \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{ x -[ x ]}} dx = \int_{0}^{10} \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{\{ x \}}} dx$.
Since the function $f(x) = \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{\{ x \}}}$ is periodic with period $1$,we have $I = 10 \int_{0}^{1} \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{ x }} dx$.
We split the integral into two parts: $I = 10 \left( \int_{0}^{1/2} \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{ x }} dx + \int_{1/2}^{1} \frac{[\sin 2 \pi x ]}{ e ^{ x }} dx \right)$.
For $0 \le x < 1/2$,$\sin(2 \pi x) \in [0, 1)$,so $[\sin 2 \pi x] = 0$.
For $1/2 \le x < 1$,$\sin(2 \pi x) \in [-1, 0)$,so $[\sin 2 \pi x] = -1$.
Thus,$I = 10 \left( 0 + \int_{1/2}^{1} \frac{-1}{ e ^{ x }} dx \right) = -10 \int_{1/2}^{1} e ^{-x} dx$.
$I = -10 \left[ -e ^{-x} \right]_{1/2}^{1} = 10 (e ^{-1} - e ^{-1/2}) = 10 e ^{-1} - 10 e ^{-1/2} + 0$.
Comparing this with $\alpha e ^{-1} + \beta e ^{-1/2} + \gamma$,we get $\alpha = 10, \beta = -10, \gamma = 0$.
Therefore,$\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 10 - 10 + 0 = 0$.

Let $I_{n} = \int_{1}^{e} x^{19}(\log |x|)^{n} dx$,where $n \in N$. If $(20) I_{10} = \alpha I_{9} + \beta I_{8}$,for natural numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$,then $\alpha - \beta$ is equal to ..... .
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(B) Given $I_{n} = \int_{1}^{e} x^{19}(\log |x|)^{n} dx$.
Using integration by parts,let $u = (\log |x|)^{n}$ and $dv = x^{19} dx$. Then $du = n(\log |x|)^{n-1} \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx$ and $v = \frac{x^{20}}{20}$.
$I_{n} = \left[ \frac{x^{20}}{20} (\log |x|)^{n} \right]_{1}^{e} - \int_{1}^{e} \frac{x^{20}}{20} \cdot n(\log |x|)^{n-1} \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx$.
$I_{n} = \frac{e^{20}}{20} - \frac{n}{20} I_{n-1}$.
Multiplying by $20$,we get $20 I_{n} = e^{20} - n I_{n-1}$.
For $n=10$,$20 I_{10} = e^{20} - 10 I_{9}$.
For $n=9$,$20 I_{9} = e^{20} - 9 I_{8}$,which implies $e^{20} = 20 I_{9} + 9 I_{8}$.
Substituting $e^{20}$ into the first equation: $20 I_{10} = (20 I_{9} + 9 I_{8}) - 10 I_{9} = 10 I_{9} + 9 I_{8}$.
Comparing with $20 I_{10} = \alpha I_{9} + \beta I_{8}$,we get $\alpha = 10$ and $\beta = 9$.
Therefore,$\alpha - \beta = 10 - 9 = 1$.

Let $g(x) = \int_{0}^{x} f(t) dt$,where $f$ is a continuous function in $[0, 3]$ such that $\frac{1}{3} \leq f(t) \leq 1$ for all $t \in [0, 1]$ and $0 \leq f(t) \leq \frac{1}{2}$ for all $t \in (1, 3]$. The largest possible interval in which $g(3)$ lies is:
A
$[\frac{1}{3}, 2]$
B
$[\frac{1}{3}, 1]$
C
$[0, 2]$
D
$[1, 3]$

Solution

(A) Given that $\frac{1}{3} \leq f(t) \leq 1$ for all $t \in [0, 1]$ and $0 \leq f(t) \leq \frac{1}{2}$ for all $t \in (1, 3]$.
We need to find the range of $g(3) = \int_{0}^{3} f(t) dt$.
We can split the integral as $g(3) = \int_{0}^{1} f(t) dt + \int_{1}^{3} f(t) dt$.
For the first part,$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{3} dt \leq \int_{0}^{1} f(t) dt \leq \int_{0}^{1} 1 dt$,which gives $\frac{1}{3} \leq \int_{0}^{1} f(t) dt \leq 1$.
For the second part,$\int_{1}^{3} 0 dt \leq \int_{1}^{3} f(t) dt \leq \int_{1}^{3} \frac{1}{2} dt$,which gives $0 \leq \int_{1}^{3} f(t) dt \leq \frac{1}{2} \times (3 - 1) = 1$.
Adding these two inequalities,we get $\frac{1}{3} + 0 \leq g(3) \leq 1 + 1$,which simplifies to $\frac{1}{3} \leq g(3) \leq 2$.
Thus,the interval is $[\frac{1}{3}, 2]$.

If $\int_{-a}^{a} (|x| + |x-2|) dx = 22$,$(a > 2)$ and $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq x$,then $\int_{a}^{-a} (x + [x]) dx$ is equal to ...........
A
$2$
B
$3$
C
$4$
D
$5$

Solution

(B) Given $\int_{-a}^{a} (|x| + |x-2|) dx = 22$ with $a > 2$.
We split the integral based on the critical points $x=0$ and $x=2$:
$\int_{-a}^{0} (-x - (x-2)) dx + \int_{0}^{2} (x - (x-2)) dx + \int_{2}^{a} (x + x-2) dx = 22$
$\int_{-a}^{0} (-2x + 2) dx + \int_{0}^{2} 2 dx + \int_{2}^{a} (2x - 2) dx = 22$
$[-x^2 + 2x]_{-a}^{0} + [2x]_{0}^{2} + [x^2 - 2x]_{2}^{a} = 22$
$(0 - (-a^2 - 2a)) + (4 - 0) + ((a^2 - 2a) - (4 - 4)) = 22$
$a^2 + 2a + 4 + a^2 - 2a = 22$
$2a^2 + 4 = 22 \Rightarrow 2a^2 = 18 \Rightarrow a^2 = 9$. Since $a > 2$,$a = 3$.
Now,we evaluate $\int_{3}^{-3} (x + [x]) dx = -\int_{-3}^{3} (x + [x]) dx$.
$\int_{-3}^{3} x dx + \int_{-3}^{3} [x] dx = 0 + ([-3] + [-2] + [-1] + [0] + [1] + [2])$
$= -3 - 2 - 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = -3$.
Thus,$-\int_{-3}^{3} (x + [x]) dx = -(-3) = 3$.

The value of $\int_{-1}^{1} x^{2} e^{[x^{3}]} dx$,where $[t]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq t$,is
A
$\frac{e-1}{3e}$
B
$\frac{e+1}{3}$
C
$\frac{e+1}{3e}$
D
$\frac{1}{3e}$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int_{-1}^{1} x^{2} e^{[x^{3}]} dx$.
We split the integral at $x = 0$:
$I = \int_{-1}^{0} x^{2} e^{[x^{3}]} dx + \int_{0}^{1} x^{2} e^{[x^{3}]} dx$.
For $x \in [-1, 0)$,$x^{3} \in [-1, 0)$,so $[x^{3}] = -1$.
For $x \in [0, 1)$,$x^{3} \in [0, 1)$,so $[x^{3}] = 0$.
Substituting these values:
$I = \int_{-1}^{0} x^{2} e^{-1} dx + \int_{0}^{1} x^{2} e^{0} dx$
$I = \frac{1}{e} \int_{-1}^{0} x^{2} dx + \int_{0}^{1} x^{2} dx$
$I = \frac{1}{e} \left[ \frac{x^{3}}{3} \right]_{-1}^{0} + \left[ \frac{x^{3}}{3} \right]_{0}^{1}$
$I = \frac{1}{e} \left( 0 - \left( -\frac{1}{3} \right) \right) + \left( \frac{1}{3} - 0 \right)$
$I = \frac{1}{3e} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1+e}{3e}$.

The value of $\sum_{n=1}^{100} \int_{n-1}^{n} e^{x-[x]} dx,$ where $[x]$ is the greatest integer $\leq x,$ is
A
$100(e-1)$
B
$100(1-e)$
C
$100e$
D
$100(1+e)$

Solution

(A) Let $f(x) = e^{x-[x]} = e^{\{x\}},$ where $\{x\}$ is the fractional part of $x.$
Since the function $f(x) = e^{\{x\}}$ is periodic with period $1,$ we have $\int_{n-1}^{n} e^{\{x\}} dx = \int_{0}^{1} e^{\{x\}} dx$ for any integer $n.$
In the interval $[0, 1],$ the fractional part $\{x\} = x.$
Therefore,$\int_{0}^{1} e^{\{x\}} dx = \int_{0}^{1} e^x dx = [e^x]_0^1 = e^1 - e^0 = e - 1.$
Now,the summation is $\sum_{n=1}^{100} \int_{n-1}^{n} e^{\{x\}} dx = \sum_{n=1}^{100} (e-1) = 100(e-1).$

A
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
B
$4 \pi$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
$2 \pi$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos ^{2} x}{1+3^{x}} dx$ --- $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx$,we get:
$I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos ^{2}(-x)}{1+3^{-x}} dx = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos ^{2} x}{1+\frac{1}{3^{x}}} dx = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{3^{x} \cos ^{2} x}{3^{x}+1} dx$ --- $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos ^{2} x + 3^{x} \cos ^{2} x}{1+3^{x}} dx$
$2I = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos ^{2} x(1+3^{x})}{1+3^{x}} dx = \int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{2} x dx$
Since $\cos^{2} x$ is an even function:
$2I = 2 \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \cos ^{2} x dx$
$I = \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1+\cos 2x}{2} dx = \frac{1}{2} [x + \frac{\sin 2x}{2}]_{0}^{\pi / 2}$
$I = \frac{1}{2} [(\frac{\pi}{2} + 0) - (0 + 0)] = \frac{\pi}{4}$

The value of the integral $\int_{0}^{\pi}|\sin 2x| dx$ is
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\pi} |\sin 2x| dx$.
Substitute $2x = t$,so $2 dx = dt$ or $dx = \frac{1}{2} dt$.
When $x = 0$,$t = 0$. When $x = \pi$,$t = 2\pi$.
Thus,$I = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} |\sin t| dt$.
Using the property $\int_{0}^{2a} f(x) dx = 2 \int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx$ if $f(2a-x) = f(x)$,we note that $|\sin(2\pi - t)| = |-\sin t| = |\sin t|$.
So,$I = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \int_{0}^{\pi} |\sin t| dt = \int_{0}^{\pi} \sin t dt$.
Evaluating the integral: $[-\cos t]_{0}^{\pi} = -(\cos \pi - \cos 0) = -(-1 - 1) = 2$.

Let $f(x)$ be a differentiable function defined on $[0,2]$ such that $f^{\prime}(x) = f^{\prime}(2-x)$ for all $x \in (0,2)$,$f(0) = 1$ and $f(2) = e^{2}$. Then the value of $\int_{0}^{2} f(x) dx$ is ..... .
A
$1-e^{2}$
B
$1+e^{2}$
C
$2(1-e^{2})$
D
$2(1+e^{2})$

Solution

(B) Given $f^{\prime}(x) = f^{\prime}(2-x)$. Integrating both sides with respect to $x$,we get $f(x) = -f(2-x) + C$,which implies $f(x) + f(2-x) = C$.
At $x=0$,$f(0) + f(2) = C$. Given $f(0) = 1$ and $f(2) = e^{2}$,we have $C = 1 + e^{2}$.
Thus,$f(x) + f(2-x) = 1 + e^{2}$.
Let $I = \int_{0}^{2} f(x) dx$. Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) dx$,we have $I = \int_{0}^{2} f(2-x) dx$.
Adding the two expressions for $I$,we get $2I = \int_{0}^{2} (f(x) + f(2-x)) dx$.
Substituting the sum,$2I = \int_{0}^{2} (1 + e^{2}) dx = (1 + e^{2}) [x]_{0}^{2} = 2(1 + e^{2})$.
Therefore,$I = 1 + e^{2}$.

A
$19$
B
$17$
C
$23$
D
$13$

Solution

(A) We need to evaluate the integral $I = \int_{-2}^{2} |3x^2 - 3x - 6| dx$.
First,factor the expression inside the absolute value: $3x^2 - 3x - 6 = 3(x^2 - x - 2) = 3(x - 2)(x + 1)$.
The roots of the quadratic are $x = -1$ and $x = 2$.
In the interval $[-2, -1]$,$3(x^2 - x - 2) \ge 0$.
In the interval $[-1, 2]$,$3(x^2 - x - 2) \le 0$.
Thus,$I = 3 \left[ \int_{-2}^{-1} (x^2 - x - 2) dx + \int_{-1}^{2} -(x^2 - x - 2) dx \right]$.
Evaluating the first integral: $\int_{-2}^{-1} (x^2 - x - 2) dx = [\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} - 2x]_{-2}^{-1} = (-\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{2} + 2) - (-\frac{8}{3} - 2 + 4) = \frac{7}{6} - (-\frac{2}{3}) = \frac{7}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{11}{6}$.
Evaluating the second integral: $-\int_{-1}^{2} (x^2 - x - 2) dx = -[\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} - 2x]_{-1}^{2} = -[(\frac{8}{3} - 2 - 4) - (-\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{2} + 2)] = -[-\frac{10}{3} - \frac{7}{6}] = -[-\frac{27}{6}] = \frac{9}{2} = \frac{27}{6}$.
Total value $I = 3 \times (\frac{11}{6} + \frac{27}{6}) = 3 \times \frac{38}{6} = 3 \times \frac{19}{3} = 19$.

For $x > 0,$ if $f(x) = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\log_{e} t}{1+t} dt,$ then $f(e) + f\left(\frac{1}{e}\right)$ is equal to:
A
$1$
B
$-1$
C
$\frac{1}{2}$
D
$0$

Solution

(C) Given $f(x) = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt.$
Consider $f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = \int_{1}^{1/x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt.$
Let $t = \frac{1}{u},$ then $dt = -\frac{1}{u^2} du.$
When $t=1, u=1$ and when $t=1/x, u=x.$
So,$f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln(1/u)}{1+(1/u)} \left(-\frac{1}{u^2}\right) du = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{-\ln u}{\frac{u+1}{u}} \left(\frac{1}{u^2}\right) du = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{-\ln u}{u(1+u)} du.$
Now,$f(x) + f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{t(1+t)} dt = \int_{1}^{x} \left( \frac{\ln t}{1+t} - \frac{\ln t}{t(1+t)} \right) dt.$
$= \int_{1}^{x} \frac{t \ln t - \ln t}{t(1+t)} dt = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{(t-1) \ln t}{t(1+t)} dt.$
Wait,let's re-evaluate: $f(x) + f(1/x) = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt + \int_{1}^{x} \frac{-\ln t}{t(1+t)} dt = \int_{1}^{x} \ln t \left( \frac{1}{1+t} - \frac{1}{t(1+t)} \right) dt = \int_{1}^{x} \ln t \left( \frac{t-1}{t(1+t)} \right) dt.$
Actually,for $x=e$: $f(e) = \int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt$ and $f(1/e) = \int_{1}^{1/e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt = \int_{1/e}^{1} \frac{-\ln t}{1+t} dt.$
Using the property $\int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt + \int_{1}^{1/x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{1/x}^{1} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{x}^{1} \frac{\ln(1/u)}{1+(1/u)} \frac{1}{u^2} du = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln u}{u(1+u)} du = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} (1 - 1/t) dt = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\ln t (t-1)}{t(1+t)} dt.$
Evaluating at $x=e$: $\int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt + \int_{1}^{1/e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt = \int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{1/e}^{1} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt = \int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{e}^{1} \frac{\ln(1/u)}{1+1/u} \frac{1}{u^2} du = \int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln t}{1+t} dt - \int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln u}{u(1+u)} du = \int_{1}^{e} \ln t \left( \frac{1}{1+t} - \frac{1}{t(1+t)} \right) dt = \int_{1}^{e} \frac{\ln t (t-1)}{t(1+t)} dt.$
This evaluates to $\frac{1}{2}$.

If $I_{m, n} = \int_{0}^{1} x^{m-1}(1-x)^{n-1} dx$ for $m, n \geq 1$ and $\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{m-1}+x^{n-1}}{(1+x)^{m+n}} dx = \alpha I_{m, n}$,where $\alpha \in R$,then $\alpha$ equals .... .
A
$3$
B
$4$
C
$1$
D
$2$

Solution

(C) We are given $I_{m, n} = \int_{0}^{1} x^{m-1}(1-x)^{n-1} dx$.
By substituting $x = \frac{1}{1+y}$,we have $dx = -\frac{1}{(1+y)^2} dy$.
When $x=0, y \to \infty$ and when $x=1, y=0$.
Thus,$I_{m, n} = \int_{\infty}^{0} (\frac{1}{1+y})^{m-1} (1 - \frac{1}{1+y})^{n-1} (-\frac{1}{(1+y)^2}) dy = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy$.
Similarly,$I_{m, n} = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{y^{m-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy$.
Adding these,$2I_{m, n} = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy$.
Splitting the integral at $y=1$:
$2I_{m, n} = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy + \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy$.
In the second integral,substitute $y = \frac{1}{t}$,so $dy = -\frac{1}{t^2} dt$.
$\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy = \int_{1}^{0} \frac{(1/t)^{m-1} + (1/t)^{n-1}}{(1 + 1/t)^{m+n}} (-1/t^2) dt = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{t^{n-1} + t^{m-1}}{(t+1)^{m+n}} dt$.
Thus,$2I_{m, n} = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy + \int_{0}^{1} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy = 2 \int_{0}^{1} \frac{y^{m-1} + y^{n-1}}{(1+y)^{m+n}} dy$.
Therefore,$\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{m-1} + x^{n-1}}{(1+x)^{m+n}} dx = I_{m, n}$,which implies $\alpha = 1$.

(C) Let $I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1+\sin^{2} x}{1+\pi^{\sin x}} \, dx$.
Using the property $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{a} [f(x) + f(-x)] \, dx$,we have:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left( \frac{1+\sin^{2} x}{1+\pi^{\sin x}} + \frac{1+\sin^{2}(-x)}{1+\pi^{\sin(-x)}} \right) \, dx$
Since $\sin^{2}(-x) = \sin^{2} x$ and $\sin(-x) = -\sin x$:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left( \frac{1+\sin^{2} x}{1+\pi^{\sin x}} + \frac{1+\sin^{2} x}{1+\pi^{-\sin x}} \right) \, dx$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (1+\sin^{2} x) \left( \frac{1}{1+\pi^{\sin x}} + \frac{\pi^{\sin x}}{\pi^{\sin x}+1} \right) \, dx$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (1+\sin^{2} x) \left( \frac{1+\pi^{\sin x}}{1+\pi^{\sin x}} \right) \, dx$
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (1+\sin^{2} x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (1 + \frac{1-\cos 2x}{2}) \, dx = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} (\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\cos 2x) \, dx$
$I = [\frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{4}\sin 2x]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = \frac{3\pi}{4} - 0 = \frac{3\pi}{4}$.

Using the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) dx$,where $a+b = 6+16 = 22$:
$I = \int_{6}^{16} \frac{\log _{e}(22-x)^{2}}{\log _{e}(22-x)^{2} + \log _{e}(22-(22-x))^{2}} dx$
$I = \int_{6}^{16} \frac{\log _{e}(22-x)^{2}}{\log _{e}(22-x)^{2} + \log _{e} x^{2}} dx \dots(2)$

$2I = \int_{6}^{16} 1 dx = [x]_{6}^{16} = 16 - 6 = 10$
$I = \frac{10}{2} = 5$

If $[x]$ is the greatest integer $\leq x$,then $\pi^{2} \int_{0}^{2}\left(\sin \frac{\pi x}{2}\right)(x-[x])^{[x]} d x$ is equal to :
A
$2(\pi-1)$
B
$4(\pi-1)$
C
$4(\pi+1)$
D
$2(\pi+1)$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \pi^{2} \int_{0}^{2} \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} (x-[x])^{[x]} dx$.
Since $[x] = 0$ for $x \in [0, 1)$ and $[x] = 1$ for $x \in [1, 2)$,we split the integral:
$I = \pi^{2} \left[ \int_{0}^{1} \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} (x-0)^0 dx + \int_{1}^{2} \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} (x-1)^1 dx \right]$
$I = \pi^{2} \left[ \int_{0}^{1} \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} dx + \int_{1}^{2} (x-1) \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} dx \right]$
For the first part: $\int_{0}^{1} \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} dx = [-\frac{2}{\pi} \cos \frac{\pi x}{2}]_0^1 = 0 - (-\frac{2}{\pi}) = \frac{2}{\pi}$.
For the second part,use integration by parts: $\int (x-1) \sin \frac{\pi x}{2} dx = (x-1)(-\frac{2}{\pi} \cos \frac{\pi x}{2}) - \int 1 \cdot (-\frac{2}{\pi} \cos \frac{\pi x}{2}) dx = -\frac{2(x-1)}{\pi} \cos \frac{\pi x}{2} + \frac{4}{\pi^2} \sin \frac{\pi x}{2}$.
Evaluating from $1$ to $2$: $[-\frac{2(2-1)}{\pi} \cos \pi + \frac{4}{\pi^2} \sin \pi] - [-\frac{2(1-1)}{\pi} \cos \frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{4}{\pi^2} \sin \frac{\pi}{2}] = [\frac{2}{\pi} + 0] - [0 + \frac{4}{\pi^2}] = \frac{2}{\pi} - \frac{4}{\pi^2}$.
Summing the parts: $I = \pi^2 [\frac{2}{\pi} + \frac{2}{\pi} - \frac{4}{\pi^2}] = \pi^2 [\frac{4}{\pi} - \frac{4}{\pi^2}] = 4\pi - 4 = 4(\pi-1)$.

The value of the integral $\int_{-1}^{1} \log_{e}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x}) dx$ is equal to:
A
$2 \log_{e} 2 + \frac{\pi}{4} - 1$
B
$\frac{1}{2} \log_{e} 2 + \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{3}{2}$
C
$2 \log_{e} 2 + \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{1}{2}$
D
$\log_{e} 2 + \frac{\pi}{2} - 1$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{-1}^{1} \log_{e}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x}) dx$. Since the integrand $f(x) = \log_{e}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x})$ is an even function,$I = 2 \int_{0}^{1} \log_{e}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x}) dx$.
Using Integration by Parts $\int u dv = uv - \int v du$,let $u = \log_{e}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x})$ and $dv = dx$.
Then $du = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x}} \cdot \left(\frac{-1}{2\sqrt{1-x}} + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1+x}}\right) dx = \frac{\sqrt{1-x}-\sqrt{1+x}}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x})} dx = \frac{(\sqrt{1-x}-\sqrt{1+x})^2}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}(1-x-1-x)} dx = \frac{2-2\sqrt{1-x^2}}{-4x\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx = \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}-1}{2x\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx$.
$I = 2 \left[ x \log_{e}(\sqrt{1-x}+\sqrt{1+x}) \Big|_0^1 - \int_0^1 x \cdot \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}-1}{2x\sqrt{1-x^2}} dx \right]$.
$I = 2 \left[ (1 \cdot \log_{e}(\sqrt{2}) - 0) - \frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 \left(1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right) dx \right]$.
$I = 2 \left[ \frac{1}{2} \log_{e} 2 - \frac{1}{2} (x - \sin^{-1} x) \Big|_0^1 \right]$.
$I = \log_{e} 2 - (1 - \frac{\pi}{2}) = \log_{e} 2 + \frac{\pi}{2} - 1$.

Let $a$ be a positive real number such that $\int_{0}^{a} e^{x-[x]} dx = 10e - 9$,where $[x]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$. Then $a$ is equal to:
A
$10 + \log_{e} 3$
B
$10 - \log_{e}(1 + e)$
C
$10 + \log_{e} 2$
D
$10 + \log_{e}(1 + e)$

Solution

(C) Let $n = [a]$,where $n$ is a non-negative integer. Then $a = n + \{a\}$,where $0 \le \{a\} < 1$.
The integral can be split as:
$\int_{0}^{a} e^{x-[x]} dx = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \int_{k}^{k+1} e^{x-k} dx + \int_{n}^{a} e^{x-n} dx = 10e - 9$
Evaluating the sum:
$\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} [e^{x-k}]_{k}^{k+1} = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (e^1 - e^0) = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} (e - 1) = n(e - 1)$
Evaluating the remaining part:
$\int_{n}^{a} e^{x-n} dx = [e^{x-n}]_{n}^{a} = e^{a-n} - e^0 = e^{\{a\}} - 1$
Combining these:
$n(e - 1) + e^{\{a\}} - 1 = 10e - 9$
$ne - n + e^{\{a\}} - 1 = 10e - 10$
Comparing the terms,we get $n = 10$ and $e^{\{a\}} - 1 = -1 + 10e - 10e = 0$ is incorrect. Let's re-evaluate:
$ne - n + e^{\{a\}} - 1 = 10e - 10$
$ne + e^{\{a\}} - (n + 1) = 10e - 10$
If $n = 10$,then $10e + e^{\{a\}} - 11 = 10e - 9 \Rightarrow e^{\{a\}} = 2 \Rightarrow \{a\} = \log_{e} 2$.
Thus,$a = n + \{a\} = 10 + \log_{e} 2$.

If $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$,then the value of the integral $\int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} [[x] - \sin x] \, dx$ is equal to:
A
$0$
B
$\pi$
C
$1$
D
$-\pi$

Solution

(D) Let $I = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} [[x] - \sin x] \, dx$.
Using the property $[a - b] = [a] + [-b]$ is not generally true,but we can use the property $\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx = \int_{a}^{b} f(a+b-x) \, dx$.
Here $a+b = -\pi/2 + \pi/2 = 0$,so $I = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} [[-x] - \sin(-x)] \, dx = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} [[-x] + \sin x] \, dx$.
Adding the two expressions for $I$:
$2I = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} ([[x] - \sin x] + [[-x] + \sin x]) \, dx$.
Using the property $[y] + [-y] = -1$ if $y \notin \mathbb{Z}$ and $0$ if $y \in \mathbb{Z}$.
For $x \in [-\pi/2, \pi/2]$,$[x] + [-x] = -1$ except at $x=0$ where it is $0$.
Similarly,$[\sin x] + [-\sin x] = -1$ except at $x=0$ where it is $0$.
Thus,the integrand is $-2$ almost everywhere.
$2I = \int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} (-2) \, dx = -2 [x]_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} = -2(\pi/2 - (-\pi/2)) = -2(\pi) = -2\pi$.
Therefore,$I = -\pi$.
