If int_0^1frac1sqrt3+x+sqrt1+xdx=a+bsqrt2+csqrt3, where a, b, c are rational numbers, then 2a+3b-4c is equal to:

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
