Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula sqrt1 - sin 2x = sqrt(cos x - sin x)^2 = |cos x - sin x| ### Core Logic The absolute function |cos x - sin x| flips sign at x = fracpi4 within the boundary range: * For x in left[fracpi6, fracpi4right]: cos x geq sin x implies |cos x - sin x| = cos x - sin x * For x in left[fracpi4, fracpi3right]: sin x geq cos x implies |cos x - sin x| = sin x - cos x ### Step 1: Boundary Splitting Integration I = int_fracpi6^fracpi4 (cos x - sin x) \, dx + int_fracpi4^fracpi3 (sin x - cos x) \, dx I = Big[ sin x + cos x Big]_fracpi6^fracpi4 + Big[ -cos x - sin x Big]_fracpi4^fracpi3 I = left( frac1sqrt2 + frac1sqrt2 - left(frac12 + fracsqrt32right) right) + left( -frac12 - fracsqrt32 - left(-frac1sqrt2 - frac1sqrt2right) right) I = left( sqrt2 - frac1 + sqrt32 right) + left( sqrt2 - frac1 + sqrt32 right) = 2sqrt2 - 1 - sqrt3 = -1 + 2sqrt2 - sqrt3 ### Step 2: Coefficient Matrix Matching Comparing with the given baseline layout: alpha = -1, quad beta = 2, quad gamma = -1 Evaluating the required target metrics: 3alpha + 4beta - gamma = 3(-1) + 4(2) - (-1) = -3 + 8 + 1 = 6 ### Pattern Recognition Never forget that sqrtf(x)^2 = |f(x)|. Skipping modulus checks inside definite root boundaries leads to incorrect answers. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integrals

### Related Formula int frac1u^2 + a^2 du = frac1a tan^-1left(fracuaright) + C ### Core Logic Simplify the given integrand by converting all trigonometric ratios into sin x and cos x: I = fracoperatornamecosec x + sin xoperatornamecosec x sec x + tan x sin^2 x Numerator: frac1sin x + sin x = frac1 + sin^2 xsin x Denominator: frac1sin x cos x + fracsin xcos x cdot sin^2 x = frac1 + sin^4 xsin x cos x Divide Numerator by Denominator: I = fracfrac1 + sin^2 xsin xfrac1 + sin^4 xsin x cos x = frac(1 + sin^2 x)cos x1 + sin^4 x ### Step 1: Apply Substitution Now rewrite the integral: y(x) = int frac(1 + sin^2 x)cos x1 + sin^4 x dx Let sin x = t, then cos x \, dx = dt. The integral becomes: y(x) = int frac1 + t^21 + t^4 dt Divide numerator and denominator by t^2: y(x) = int frac1 + frac1t^2t^2 + frac1t^2 dt We know that t^2 + frac1t^2 = left(t - frac1tright)^2 + 2. Let u = t - frac1t, then du = left(1 + frac1t^2right) dt. y(x) = int fracduu^2 + (sqrt2)^2 = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracusqrt2right) + C y(x) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fract - 1/tsqrt2right) + C = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracsin x - operatornamecosec xsqrt2right) + C ### Step 2: Solve for Constant C We are given that lim_xrightarrow(pi/2)^- y(x) = 0. As x to fracpi2, sin x to 1 and operatornamecosec x to 1. Thus, sin x - operatornamecosec x to 0. 0 = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(frac1 - 1sqrt2right) + C 0 = frac1sqrt2tan^-1(0) + C Rightarrow C = 0 ### Step 3: Find y(pi/4) Substitute x = fracpi4 into the exact solution y(x) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracsin x - operatornamecosec xsqrt2right): At x = fracpi4, sinleft(fracpi4right) = frac1sqrt2 and operatornamecosecleft(fracpi4right) = sqrt2. yleft(fracpi4right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracfrac1sqrt2 - sqrt2sqrt2right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fracfrac1 - 2sqrt2sqrt2right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(frac-1/sqrt2sqrt2right) = frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(-frac12right) ### Pattern Recognition A high-degree polynomial of sin x or cos x in the denominator matched with their derivative elements on top is the hallmark of the t+1/t or t-1/t structural substitution form. Dividing out the middle power (t^2) aligns the differential instantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus

  • D. frac32

Solution

### Related Formula textKing's Rule Variant: int_-a^a f(x) dx = int_0^a (f(x) + f(-x)) dx ### Core Logic Let the integral be I. We apply the property int_-a^a f(x) dx = int_0^a (f(x)+f(-x)) dx to each fractional term independently. For the first term f_1(x) = fracx^2cos x1+pi^x: f_1(x) + f_1(-x) = fracx^2cos x1+pi^x + frac(-x)^2cos(-x)1+pi^-x = x^2cos x left( frac11+pi^x + fracpi^xpi^x+1 right) = x^2cos x For the second term f_2(x) = frac1+sin^2x1+e^sin x^2023: Observe the exponent: sin(-x)^2023 = sin(-x^2023) = -sin x^2023. f_2(x) + f_2(-x) = frac1+sin^2x1+e^p + frac1+sin^2(-x)1+e^-p = (1+sin^2x) left( frac11+e^p + frace^pe^p+1 right) = 1+sin^2x Thus, the integral radically simplifies to: I = int_0^pi/2 (x^2cos x + 1 + sin^2 x) dx ### Step 1: Execute Integration by Parts Evaluate int_0^pi/2 x^2cos x \, dx using integration by parts: u = x^2 Rightarrow du = 2x \, dx dv = cos x \, dx Rightarrow v = sin x int x^2cos x dx = x^2sin x - int 2xsin x dx Applying parts again to int 2xsin x dx: int 2xsin x dx = 2x(-cos x) - int 2(-cos x)dx = -2xcos x + 2sin x Substituting back: left[ x^2sin x + 2xcos x - 2sin x right]_0^pi/2 Evaluate at upper limit pi/2: (pi/2)^2(1) + 0 - 2(1) = fracpi^24 - 2 Evaluate at lower limit 0: 0 + 0 - 0 = 0 So, int_0^pi/2 x^2cos x \, dx = fracpi^24 - 2. ### Step 2: Execute Standard Integrals Evaluate int_0^pi/2 (1 + sin^2 x) dx: = int_0^pi/2 dx + int_0^pi/2 sin^2 x dx = fracpi2 + left[ frac12 cdot fracpi2 right] = fracpi2 + fracpi4 = frac3pi4 ### Step 3: Combine and Compare Sum the components to get the total integral I: I = left(fracpi^24 - 2right) + frac3pi4 = fracpi^24 + frac3pi4 - 2 Factor out fracpi4: I = fracpi4(pi + 3) - 2 The problem states I = fracpi4(pi + a) - 2. Comparing the two expressions gives: a = 3 ### Pattern Recognition Frightening denominators like 1+a^f(x) in an integral from -L to L where f(x) is an odd function are almost exclusively designed to cancel out and leave 1 via the f(x)+f(-x) expansion. Strip the ugly denominators immediately. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus

Let y = f(x) be a thrice differentiable function in (-5, 5) . Let the tangents to the curve y = f(x) at (1, f(1)) and (3, f(3)) make angles fracpi6 and fracpi4 , respectively with positive x-axis.

  • D. 36

Solution

### Related Formula textSlope of tangent at x=a text is f'(a) = tan theta int u^n du = fracu^n+1n+1 ### Core Logic Given y=f(x), the derivatives at the given points correspond to the slope of tangents: left. fracdydx right|_x=1 = f'(1) = tanleft(fracpi6right) = frac1sqrt3 left. fracdydx right|_x=3 = f'(3) = tanleft(fracpi4right) = 1 We must evaluate the integral: I = int_1^3 left( (f'(t))^2 + 1 right) f''(t) dt ### Step 1: Integration by Substitution Let z = f'(t). Then dz = f''(t)dt. The limits of integration change accordingly: When t = 1, z = f'(1) = frac1sqrt3 When t = 3, z = f'(3) = 1 The integral becomes: I = int_1/sqrt3^1 (z^2 + 1) dz I = left[ fracz^33 + z right]_1/sqrt3^1 ### Step 2: Evaluating the Definite Integral Plug in the limits: I = left( frac1^33 + 1 right) - left( frac13 cdot frac13sqrt3 + frac1sqrt3 right) I = frac43 - left( frac19sqrt3 + frac99sqrt3 right) I = frac43 - frac109sqrt3 = frac43 - frac10sqrt327 ### Step 3: Finding alpha and beta We are given that 27 cdot I = alpha + betasqrt3. 27 left( frac43 - frac10sqrt327 right) = 36 - 10sqrt3 Comparing with alpha + betasqrt3, we get: alpha = 36 beta = -10 Therefore, alpha + beta = 36 - 10 = 26. ### Pattern Recognition Integrals containing a function derivative alongside its second derivative are classic substitution traps.

Substitute b into (iii): 15a + 6(-1 - a) = 39 15a - 6 - 6a = 39 9a = 45 Rightarrow a = 5 Thus, b = -1 - 5 = -6. Now, substitute a and b into (ii) to find c: 8(5) + 2(-6) + c = 21 40 - 12 + c = 21 28 + c = 21 Rightarrow c = -7 ### Step 3: Finding Final Absolute Sum Calculate |a + b + c|: |5 + (-6) + (-7)| = |5 - 13| = |-8| = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Translating multiple constraints (f(x), f'(x), int f(x)) into a system of linear equations for coefficients a, b, c exposes a direct sequential solution without circular dependency. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Integral Calculus Class 12 Maths: Application of Derivatives
