Let (a, b) be the point of intersection of the curve x^2 = 2y and the straight line y - 2x - 6 = 0 in the second quadrant. Then the integral I = int_a^b frac9x^21 + 5^x \, dx is equal to:

Solution & Explanation

### 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

Let f:mathbbR to mathbbR be a function defined f(x) = fracx(1 + x^4)^1/4 and g(x) = f(f(f(f(x)))). Then 18int_0^sqrt2sqrt5 x^2 g(x) dx is
  • A. 33
  • B. 36
  • C. 42
  • D. 39

Solution

### Related Formula textComposite sequence relation: f^n(x) = fracx(1 + n x^4)^1/4 ### Core Logic Evaluate the composition function step-by-step: f(f(x)) = fracf(x)(1 + f(x)^4)^1/4 = fracfracx(1+x^4)^1/4left(1 + fracx^41+x^4right)^1/4 = fracx(1 + 2x^4)^1/4 Continuing this pattern n times yields: f^n(x) = fracx(1 + nx^4)^1/4 Thus, g(x) = f(f(f(f(x)))) = f^4(x) = fracx(1 + 4x^4)^1/4. ### Step 1: Setting up the Integral The required integral is: I = 18int_0^sqrt2sqrt5 fracx^3(1 + 4x^4)^1/4 dx We use substitution to solve this. Let 1 + 4x^4 = t^4. Differentiating gives: 16x^3 dx = 4t^3 dt Rightarrow x^3 dx = frac14 t^3 dt ### Step 2: Modifying limits and Solving Change limits: When x = 0, 1 + 0 = t^4 Rightarrow t = 1. When x = (2sqrt5)^1/2, x^4 = (2sqrt5)^2 = 20. Then 1 + 4(20) = 81 = t^4 Rightarrow t = 3. Substitute into the integral: I = 18 int_1^3 fracfrac14 t^3 dtt I = frac184 int_1^3 t^2 dt = frac92 left[ fract^33 right]_1^3 I = frac92 cdot frac13 [t^3]_1^3 = frac32 (27 - 1) = frac32 (26) = 39 ### Pattern Recognition Repeated compositions of x(1+cx^k)^-1/k follow a strict linearity in the coefficient of x^k. Here, 4 compositions cleanly changed the x^4 coefficient from 1 to 4, preparing a perfect variable substitution. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Functions Class 12 Maths: Integral Calculus

Numerical Answer. Answer: 5 to 5

Solution

### Related Formula textArea enclosed integrating w.r.t y-axis: int (x_textright - x_textleft) dy ### Core Logic Find intersection points between the parabola x = (y-2)^2 + 1 and the line x = 2y - 4. Set them equal: (y-2)^2 + 1 = 2y - 4 y^2 - 4y + 4 + 1 = 2y - 4 y^2 - 6y + 9 = 0 Rightarrow (y-3)^2 = 0 The line is tangent to the parabola at y = 3. At y = 3, x = 2(3) - 4 = 2. We need the area enclosed by the parabola, the line, and the *positive coordinate axes*. Let's trace the boundary intercepts. The line x = 2y - 4 cuts the y-axis (x=0) at y=2. Parabola vertex is at (1, 2). Parabola cuts y-axis (x=0) at (y-2)^2 = -1 (No real y-intercept). So the curve (y-2)^2 = x-1 only exists for x ge 1. ### Step 1: Setting up the Integral w.r.t y

Because the area is bound by the positive coordinate axes, we track integration strictly in the first quadrant. The required area is the area between the y-axis, the x-axis, the line, and the curve. Wait, the problem says "area enclosed by the parabola... line... and positive coordinate axes". Let's integrate with respect to y. The boundary curves are x = (y-2)^2 + 1 (which forms the rightmost boundary) and the axes. The area bounded by the curve with y-axis is from y=0 to y=3 minus the triangular region cut by the line below y=2. The line intersects the x-axis (y=0) at x=-4 and y-axis (x=0) at y=2. The positive coordinate axes enforce boundaries at x ge 0, y ge 0. So the exact area is the integral of the parabola's x-value from y=0 to y=3, minus the area of the small triangle outside the region bounded by the line x=2y-4 and the axes in the positive quadrant. The area under the parabola (to the left towards the y-axis) from y=0 to y=3 is int_0^3 x_textparabola dy. The line bounds the region on the left from y=2 to y=3. Between y=0 and y=2, the area goes fully to the y-axis. So, area = int_0^3 x_textparabola dy - textArea of Delta text bounded by line and y-axis. The triangle bounded by x=2y-4, x=0, y=2, y=3 is: base is x=2(3)-4 = 2 at y=3, height is 1 (from y=2 to y=3). Triangle area = frac12 times 2 times 1 = 1. Hence, Enclosed Area = int_0^3 ((y-2)^2 + 1) dy - 1. ### Step 2: Evaluating the Integral textArea = int_0^3 (y^2 - 4y + 5) dy - 1 = left[ fracy^33 - 2y^2 + 5y right]_0^3 - 1 = left( frac273 - 2(9) + 5(3) right) - 0 - 1 = (9 - 18 + 15) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 ### Pattern Recognition Instead of evaluating horizontal strips with a broken left-bound, evaluate the total area mapped to the y-axis int_0^3 x dy and simply subtract the basic geometric triangle removed by the straight line. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Integral Calculus

The value of lim_nto inftysum_k = 1^nfracn^3(n^2 + k^2)(n^2 + 3k^2) is:
  • A. frac(2sqrt3 + 3)pi24
  • B. frac13pi8(4sqrt3 + 3)
  • C. frac13(2sqrt3 - 3)pi8
  • D. fracpi8(2 sqrt3 + 3)

Solution

### Related Formula lim_n to infty frac1n sum_k=1^n fleft(fracknright) = int_0^1 f(x) dx ### Core Logic Rewrite the series by extracting n^4 from the denominator: L = lim_nto inftysum_k = 1^nfracn^3n^4left(1 + frack^2n^2right)left(1 + frac3k^2n^2right) L = lim_n rightarrow infty frac1n sum_k = 1^n frac1left(1 + frack^2n^2right)left(1 + frac3k^2n^2right) Using the limit of a sum, we convert this to a definite integral by substituting x = frackn and dx = frac1n: I = int_0^1 fracdx(1 + x^2)(1 + 3x^2) ### Step 1: Partial Fractions To integrate, we split the integrand using partial fractions. Notice that: frac1(1+x^2)(1+3x^2) = fracA1+x^2 + fracB1+3x^2 Let x^2 = t. Then frac1(1+t)(1+3t) = fracA1+t + fracB1+3t. 1 = A(1+3t) + B(1+t) If t = -1, 1 = A(-2) Rightarrow A = -frac12. If t = -1/3, 1 = B(2/3) Rightarrow B = frac32. So, frac1(1+x^2)(1+3x^2) = frac3/21+3x^2 - frac1/21+x^2 Alternatively, as formatted in the solution: I = int_0^1 fracdx3(1 + x^2)left(frac13 + x^2right) = int_0^1 frac13 times frac32 frac(x^2 + 1) - left(x^2 + frac13right)(1 + x^2)left(x^2 + frac13right) dx = frac12 int_0^1 left[ frac1x^2 + left(frac1sqrt3right)^2 - frac11 + x^2 right] dx ### Step 2: Integration Integrating both terms: = frac12 left[ sqrt3 tan^-1 (sqrt3 x) right]_0^1 - frac12 left( tan^-1 x right)_0^1 Evaluating the limits: = fracsqrt32 left(fracpi3right) - frac12 left(fracpi4right) = fracpi2 sqrt3 - fracpi8 = frac4pi - sqrt3pi8sqrt3 = fracpi(4 - sqrt3)8sqrt3 Rationalizing and finding the common denominator to match options: = frac13 pi8(4 sqrt3 + 3) (Note: Multiply numerator and denominator by (4sqrt3+3). Numerator becomes pi(4-sqrt3)(4sqrt3+3) = pi(16sqrt3 + 12 - 12 - 3sqrt3) = 13pisqrt3. Wait, let's verify: fracpi2sqrt3 - fracpi8 = fracpi(4-sqrt3)8sqrt3. Let's rationalize the denominator in the given option frac13pi8(4sqrt3+3) = frac13pi(4sqrt3-3)8(48-9) = frac13pi(4sqrt3-3)8(39) = fracpi(4sqrt3-3)24 = frac4sqrt3pi24 - frac3pi24 = fracpi2sqrt3 - fracpi8. Match is exact.) ### Pattern Recognition Divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of n to convert the series into the standard form of Riemann Sum frac1n sum f(k/n).
