Let f:left[-fracpi2,fracpi2right] to mathbbR be a differentiable function such that f(0) = frac12. If the lim_x to 0 fracx int_0^x f(t) dte^x^2 - 1 = alpha, then 8alpha^2 is equal to:

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula lim_y to 0 frace^y - 1y = 1 Leibniz Integral Rule: fracddx int_0^x f(t) dt = f(x) ### Core Logic Given limit is: alpha = lim_x to 0 fracx int_0^x f(t) dte^x^2 - 1 Multiply and divide the denominator by x^2 to use standard exponential limit: alpha = lim_x to 0 fracx int_0^x f(t) dtleft(frace^x^2 - 1x^2right) cdot x^2 Since lim_xto 0 frace^x^2 - 1x^2 = 1, the expression simplifies to: alpha = lim_x to 0 fracx int_0^x f(t) dt1 cdot x^2 = lim_x to 0 fracint_0^x f(t) dtx ### Step 1: Applying L'Hôpital's Rule This is a 0/0 form. Apply L'Hôpital's Rule by differentiating numerator and denominator w.r.t x: alpha = lim_x to 0 fracfracddx int_0^x f(t) dtfracddx(x) = lim_x to 0 fracf(x)1 By continuity of differentiable function f at 0: alpha = f(0) ### Step 2: Final Calculation We are given f(0) = frac12, so alpha = frac12. We need to find 8alpha^2: 8alpha^2 = 8 left(frac12right)^2 = 8 left(frac14right) = 2 ### Pattern Recognition Standard expansion/limits on isolated terms in denominators immediately reduce the power of x, setting up a trivial Leibniz derivative application. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Limits and Derivatives Class 12 Maths: Integrals
