Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula f(x) + f(1-x) = frac4^x4^x + 2 + frac4^1-x4^1-x + 2 = 1 ### Core Logic Using the property f(x) + f(1-x) = 1, we have f(a) + f(1-a) = 1. Let limits be A = f(a) and B = f(1-a). Then A + B = 1. M = int_A^B x sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx ### Step 1: Apply King's Property Apply the property int_A^B g(x) dx = int_A^B g(A + B - x) dx. M = int_A^B (1 - x) sin^4((1 - x)(1 - (1 - x))) dx M = int_A^B (1 - x) sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx M = int_A^B sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx - int_A^B x sin^4(x(1 - x)) dx M = N - M ### Step 2: Conclusion 2M = N Given alpha M = beta N, we get alpha = 2 and beta = 1 (for least integral values). Thus, alpha^2 + beta^2 = 2^2 + 1^2 = 5. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Integrals Class 12 Maths: Relations and Functions
