Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula int_a^b [f(x)] dx text requires breaking the integral at points where f(x) in mathbbZ ### Core Logic Let f(x) = sqrtfrac10xx+1. We need to find the critical points where f(x) takes integer values in the interval x in [0, 9]. f(x)^2 = frac10xx+1 Set frac10xx+1 = 1^2 Rightarrow 10x = x + 1 Rightarrow 9x = 1 Rightarrow x = frac19 Set frac10xx+1 = 2^2 = 4 Rightarrow 10x = 4x + 4 Rightarrow 6x = 4 Rightarrow x = frac23 Set frac10xx+1 = 3^2 = 9 Rightarrow 10x = 9x + 9 Rightarrow x = 9 ### Step 1: Splitting the integral The integrand left[ sqrtfrac10xx + 1 right] evaluates to: 0 for x in left[0, frac19right) 1 for x in left[frac19, frac23right) 2 for x in left[frac23, 9right] The integral I = 9 int_0^9 left[ sqrtfrac10xx + 1 right] dx can be split as: I = 9 left( int_0^1/9 0 \, dx + int_1/9^2/3 1 \, dx + int_2/3^9 2 \, dx right) ### Step 2: Evaluating sub-intervals I = 9 left( 0 + 1 times left(frac23 - frac19right) + 2 times left(9 - frac23right) right) I = 9 left( frac59 + 2 left(frac253right) right) I = 9 left( frac59 + frac503 right) I = 9 left( frac5 + 1509 right) I = 155 ### Pattern Recognition For step functions inside integrals, immediately equate the inner continuous function to successive integers k^n to isolate the integration boundary conditions perfectly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Integrals

  • C. 18
  • D. 21

Solution

### Related Formula textKing's Property: int_a^b f(x) dx = int_a^b f(a+b-x) dx ### Core Logic First, we find the coordinates of intersection in the second quadrant to determine the integration limits a and b. ### Step 1: Find points of intersection Substitute y = fracx^22 into the line equation y - 2x - 6 = 0: fracx^22 - 2x - 6 = 0 implies x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0 (x - 6)(x + 2) = 0 implies x = 6 quad textor quad x = -2 Since the point (a, b) lies in the second quadrant, x must be negative: a = -2 b = 2(a) + 6 = 2(-2) + 6 = 2 Thus, the integration limits are a = -2 and b = 2. ### Step 2: Solve the Integral using King's Property The integral is: I = int_-2^2 frac9x^21 + 5^x dx quad text--- (1) Apply King's property, substituting x to -x (since -2 + 2 - x = -x): I = int_-2^2 frac9(-x)^21 + 5^-x dx = int_-2^2 frac9x^2 cdot 5^x1 + 5^x dx quad text--- (2) Adding equations (1) and (2): 2I = int_-2^2 9x^2 left( frac1 + 5^x1 + 5^x right) dx = int_-2^2 9x^2 dx Since 9x^2 is an even function: 2I = 2 int_0^2 9x^2 dx implies I = left[ 3x^3 right]_0^2 = 3(8) - 0 = 24 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see an exponential denominator like 1 + c^x inside a symmetric interval definite integral [-a, a], applying King's property will almost always cancel the exponential factor cleanly when the remaining numerator is even. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus

### Related Formula int sqrta^2 + x^2 dx = fracx2 sqrta^2 + x^2 + fraca^22 lnleft| x + sqrta^2 + x^2 right| ### Core Logic We first rationalise the denominator to split the integral into two standard integration terms. ### Step 1: Rationalise the integrand Multiply the numerator and denominator by sqrt3+x^2 - sqrt1+x^2: frac1sqrt3 + x^2 + sqrt1 + x^2 = fracsqrt3 + x^2 - sqrt1 + x^2(3+x^2) - (1+x^2) = fracsqrt3 + x^2 - sqrt1 + x^22 Thus, the integral expression simplifies to: I = 4 int_0^1 left( fracsqrt3 + x^2 - sqrt1 + x^22 right) dx - 3log_eleft(sqrt3right) I = 2 int_0^1 sqrt3 + x^2 dx - 2 int_0^1 sqrt1 + x^2 dx - frac32 log_e 3 ### Step 2: Evaluate the integrals For the first integral: 2 int_0^1 sqrt3 + x^2 dx = 2 left[ fracx2 sqrt3 + x^2 + frac32 lnleft| x + sqrt3 + x^2 right| right]_0^1 = left[ x sqrt3 + x^2 + 3 lnleft| x + sqrt3 + x^2 right| right]_0^1 = left( sqrt4 + 3 ln(1 + sqrt4) right) - left( 0 + 3 lnsqrt3 right) = 2 + 3 ln 3 - frac32 ln 3 = 2 + frac32 ln 3 For the second integral: -2 int_0^1 sqrt1 + x^2 dx = -2 left[ fracx2 sqrt1 + x^2 + frac12 lnleft| x + sqrt1 + x^2 right| right]_0^1 = - left[ x sqrt1 + x^2 + lnleft| x + sqrt1 + x^2 right| right]_0^1 = - left( sqrt2 + ln(1 + sqrt2) right) ### Step 3: Sum the terms Now compile all terms: I = left( 2 + frac32 ln 3 right) - sqrt2 - ln(1 + sqrt2) - frac32 ln 3 I = 2 - sqrt2 - ln(1 + sqrt2) ### Pattern Recognition Integration of roots of quadratics: Always look for algebraic rationalisation when dealing with sum of root denominators. It directly reduces complex fractions into standard integrable functions. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus

### Related Formula Greatest Integer Function boundaries: [f(x)] = k quad textfor quad k le f(x) < k+1, \ k in mathbbZ ### Core Logic Analyze the value variations of f(x) = e^1-x across the integration limits [0, e^3] to break down the integral into distinct piecewise continuous intervals. ### Step 1: Determine Step Function Transition Points Let y = e^1-x. * At x = 0 implies y = e^1 approx 2.718 * As x increases, e^1-x decreases monotonically. * Find x where y = 2 implies e^1-x = 2 implies 1-x = ln 2 implies x = 1 - ln 2. * Find x where y = 1 implies e^1-x = 1 implies 1-x = 0 implies x = 1. * At the final boundary x = e^3 implies y = e^1-e^3, which is a very small positive decimal strictly inside (0,1). ### Step 2: Split the Definite Integral Rewrite the integral based on the isolated interval blocks: I = int_0^1-ln 2 2 \, mathrmdx + int_1-ln 2^1 1 \, mathrmdx + int_1^e^3 0 \, mathrmdx ### Step 3: Perform Integrations I = 2[x]_0^1-ln 2 + 1[x]_1-ln 2^1 + 0 I = 2(1 - ln 2 - 0) + 1(1 - (1 - ln 2)) = 2 - 2ln 2 + ln 2 = 2 - ln 2 ### Step 4: Solve for Alpha Cubed Compare the integrated value to alpha - ln 2: alpha - ln 2 = 2 - ln 2 implies alpha = 2 alpha^3 = 2^3 = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Always map the function values at the extreme boundary points first. Tracking the downward path from 2.71 rightarrow 2 rightarrow 1 rightarrow 0 reveals exactly where the integer thresholds are crossed. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integrals

By symmetry, the area alpha in the first quadrant is the area under the circle minus the area under the parabola from x=0 to x=1. ### Step 1: Calculate the Area Components Area of a circle quadrant with r=1 is fracpi4. Area under the parabola: int_0^1 (1 - x^2) \, dx = left[ x - fracx^33 right]_0^1 = 1 - frac13 = frac23 ### Step 2: Evaluate the Total Area alpha = 4 left[ fracpi4 - frac23 right] = pi - frac83 Multiplying both sides by 9: 9alpha = 9pi - 24 Comparing with 9alpha = betapi + gamma, we get: beta = 9, quad gamma = -24 Hence, |beta - gamma| = |9 - (-24)| = 33 ### Pattern Recognition Symmetry helps divide the integration work by 4. Recognizing standard shapes (like a circle sector) allows you to bypass complex integration entirely for half of the problem. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Integral Calculus
