Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula int x^n dx = fracx^n+1n+1 ### Core Logic To evaluate integrals with sum of square roots in the denominator, multiply and divide by the conjugate to rationalize it. I = int_0^1fracsqrt3+x-sqrt1+x(sqrt3+x+sqrt1+x)(sqrt3+x-sqrt1+x)dx I = int_0^1fracsqrt3+x-sqrt1+x(3+x) - (1+x)dx I = frac12 int_0^1 (sqrt3+x - sqrt1+x) dx ### Step 1: Integration and Bounds Setup Integrate the resulting expression: I = frac12 left[ frac(3+x)^3/23/2 - frac(1+x)^3/23/2 right]_0^1 I = frac12 cdot frac23 left[ (3+x)^3/2 - (1+x)^3/2 right]_0^1 I = frac13 left[ ((4)^3/2 - (2)^3/2) - ((3)^3/2 - (1)^3/2) right] ### Step 2: Term Simplification Evaluate the boundary powers: 4^3/2 = 8 2^3/2 = 2sqrt2 3^3/2 = 3sqrt3 1^3/2 = 1 Substitute back into the expression: I = frac13 [ 8 - 2sqrt2 - 3sqrt3 + 1 ] = frac13 [ 9 - 2sqrt2 - 3sqrt3 ] I = 3 - frac23sqrt2 - sqrt3 ### Step 3: Finding Co-efficients Comparing with a+bsqrt2+csqrt3 yields: a = 3, b = -frac23, c = -1 Compute 2a+3b-4c: 2(3) + 3left(-frac23right) - 4(-1) 6 - 2 + 4 = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see a sum of square roots in the denominator of an integrand, the immediate algorithmic next step is rationalization. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Definite Integration

Solution

### Related Formula textLeibniz Integral Rule for differentiation: fracddxint_0^x f(t) \, dt = f(x) ### Core Logic Perform variable substitution inside the integral: let lambda x = t implies dlambda = frac1x dt. When lambda = 0 implies t = 0; when lambda = 1 implies t = x. The equation transforms to: frac1x int_0^x f(t) \, dt = a f(x) implies int_0^x f(t) \, dt = a x f(x) ### Step 1: Differentiate with respect to x Using Leibniz rule and product rule: f(x) = a [x f'(x) + f(x)] (1 - a)f(x) = a x f'(x) implies fracf'(x)f(x) = frac1-aa frac1x Integrating both sides yields: ln f(x) = left(frac1-aaright)ln x + c implies f(x) = C x^frac1-aa ### Step 2: Calculate Constants using boundaries Given f(1) = 1 implies C = 1. Given f(16) = frac18 implies frac18 = (16)^frac1-aa implies 2^-3 = (2^4)^frac1-aa -3 = frac4(1-a)a implies -3a = 4 - 4a implies a = 4 Therefore, power exponent = frac1-44 = -frac34 implies f(x) = x^-frac34. ### Step 3: Evaluate target derivative value Find the derivative: f'(x) = -frac34 x^-frac74 Substitute x = frac116: f'left(frac116right) = -frac34 left(2^-4right)^-frac74 = -frac34 left(2^7right) = -frac34 times 128 = -96 Final requested computation calculation: 16 - f'left(frac116right) = 16 - (-96) = 112 ### Pattern Recognition Scaling inputs inside functional definite integrals tracks closely to homogenous Euler equation properties.

### Related Formula King's Property of Definite Integrals: int_a^b f(x) \, dx = int_a^b f(a+b-x) \, dx ### Core Logic Let the given integral be I: I = int_0^fracpi4fracx \, dxsin^4(2x)+cos^4(2x) Substitute 2x = t implies 2dx = dt implies dx = frac12dt. When x = 0 implies t = 0, and when x = fracpi4 implies t = fracpi2. I = frac14 int_0^fracpi2 fract \, dtsin^4t + cos^4t quad implies (1) ### Step 1: Apply King's Property Applying the property int_0^a f(t) \, dt = int_0^a f(a-t) \, dt: I = frac14 int_0^fracpi2 fracleft(fracpi2 - tright) dtsin^4left(fracpi2-tright) + cos^4left(fracpi2-tright) I = frac14 int_0^fracpi2 fracleft(fracpi2 - tright) dtcos^4t + sin^4t quad implies (2) Adding equations (1) and (2): 2I = frac14 int_0^fracpi2 fracfracpi2 dtsin^4t + cos^4t 2I = fracpi8 int_0^fracpi2 fracdtsin^4t + cos^4t 2I = fracpi8 int_0^fracpi2 fracsec^4t \, dttan^4t + 1 2I = fracpi8 int_0^fracpi2 frac(1 + tan^2t)sec^2t \, dttan^4t + 1 ### Step 2: Substitution and Algebraic Limits Let tan t = y implies sec^2t \, dt = dy. When t = 0 implies y = 0, and when t = fracpi2 implies y = infty. 2I = fracpi8 int_0^infty frac(1 + y^2) \, dy1 + y^4 I = fracpi16 int_0^infty frac1 + frac1y^2y^2 + frac1y^2 \, dy Now put y - frac1y = p implies left(1 + frac1y^2right) dy = dp. When y to 0^+ implies p to -infty, and when y to infty implies p to infty. Also, y^2 + frac1y^2 = p^2 + 2 = p^2 + (sqrt2)^2. I = fracpi16 int_-infty^infty fracdpp^2 + (sqrt2)^2 I = fracpi16sqrt2 left[ tan^-1left(fracpsqrt2right) right]_-infty^infty $I = fracpi16sqrt2 left( fracpi2 - left(-fracpi2right) right) = fracpi^216sqrt2 = fracsqrt2pi^232 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Integrand containing x in the numerator and symmetric trigonometric functions in the denominator. Shortcut: The elimination of x using King's property is standard. For integrals containing frac1+y^21+y^4, dividing by y^2 transforms the denominator into a perfect square form left(y-frac1yright)^2+2, making substitution trivial. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Definite Integrals Class 11 Mathematics: Trigonometric Identities

Numerical Answer. Answer: 8 to 8

Solution

### Related Formula King's Property for symmetric integration limits: int_-a^a f(x) \, dx = int_-a^a f(-x) \, dx ### Core Logic Let the given definite integral be I: I = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx(1+e^sin x)(1+sin^4x) quad implies (1) Apply King's property by replacing x with -x (since -pi/2 + pi/2 = 0): I = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos(-x)\,dx(1+e^sin(-x))(1+sin^4(-x)) I = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx(1+e^-sin x)(1+sin^4x) = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos x cdot e^sin x\,dx(e^sin x+1)(1+sin^4x) quad implies (2) ### Step 1: Simplify by Adding Expressions Adding equations (1) and (2): 2I = int_-pi/2^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x(1 + e^sin x)\,dx(1+e^sin x)(1+sin^4x) 2I = int_-pi/2^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx1+sin^4x Since the integrand is even, we can change the limits from 0 to pi/2: 2I = 2 int_0^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx1+sin^4x implies I = int_0^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx1+sin^4x ### Step 2: Substitution and Algebraic Deconstruction Let sin x = t implies cos x \, dx = dt. Limits change from 0 to 1: I = int_0^1 frac8sqrt2\,dt1+t^4 = 4sqrt2 int_0^1 frac2\,dt1+t^4 Dividing the numerator and denominator by t^2, we write it as two distinct expressions: I = 4sqrt2 left[ int_0^1 frac1+frac1t^2t^2+frac1t^2 \, dt - int_0^1 frac1-frac1t^2t^2+frac1t^2 \, dt right] I = 4sqrt2 left[ int_-infty^0 fracdzz^2+2 - int_infty^2 fracdkk^2-2 right] where z = t - frac1t and k = t + frac1t. ### Step 3: Integrate and Evaluate Parameters Evaluating standard anti-derivatives: I = 4sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fraczsqrt2right) right]_-infty^0 - 4sqrt2 left[ frac12sqrt2lnleft|frack-sqrt2k+sqrt2right| right]_infty^2 I = 4sqrt2left(fracpi2sqrt2right) - 2 lnleft|frac2-sqrt22+sqrt2right| = 2pi - 2ln(sqrt2-1)^2 I = 2pi + 2ln(3+2sqrt2) Matching parameters yields alpha = 2 and beta = 2. Thus: alpha^2 + beta^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Exponential variables causing asymmetry in symmetric integration bounds. Shortcut: Using King's rule completely eliminates the confusing e^sin x factor, leaving behind a straightforward rational trigonometric configuration. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Definite Integrals

If (a, b) be the orthocentre of the triangle whose vertices are (1, 2), (2, 3) and (3, 1), and I_1=int_a^bx~sin(4x-x^2)dx, I_2=int_a^bsin(4x-x^2)dx, then 36fracI_1I_2 is equal to:
  • A. 72
  • B. 88
  • C. 80
  • D. 66

Solution

### Related Formula int_a^b f(x) dx = int_a^b f(a+b-x) dx quad text(King's Rule) ### Core Logic First, find the orthocentre (a,b) of Delta ABC with vertices A(1, 2), B(2, 3), and C(3, 1). Slope of AB = frac3-22-1 = 1. The altitude from C onto AB must be perpendicular to AB, so its slope is -1. Equation of altitude from C(3,1): y - 1 = -1(x - 3) Rightarrow x + y = 4 The orthocentre (a, b) lies on all altitudes, including this one. Thus, it satisfies a + b = 4. ### Step 1: Applying Definite Integral Properties Given I_1 = int_a^b x sin(4x-x^2) dx, let's rewrite the argument of sine: 4x - x^2 = x(4-x) Apply King's Rule replacing x with (a+b-x). Since we proved a+b = 4, substitute x with (4-x): I_1 = int_a^b (4-x) sin((4-x)(4 - (4-x))) dx I_1 = int_a^b (4-x) sin((4-x)x) dx I_1 = int_a^b (4-x) sin(4x-x^2) dx ### Step 2: Evaluating the Integral Ratio Expand the newly formed integral: I_1 = 4 int_a^b sin(4x-x^2) dx - int_a^b x sin(4x-x^2) dx Notice that the second term is I_1 and the first integral is I_2: I_1 = 4I_2 - I_1 Rightarrow 2I_1 = 4I_2 Rightarrow fracI_1I_2 = 2 ### Step 3: Final Output Evaluation We need the value of 36 fracI_1I_2: 36 times 2 = 72 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see int_a^b x cdot f(x(a+b-x)) dx, immediately apply King's Rule to factor out x. You rarely need the individual values of the integration bounds, only their sum. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Straight Lines Class 12 Maths: Definite Integration
