Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula King's Property of Definite Integrals: int_a^b f(x) dx = int_a^b f(a + b - x) dx ### Core Logic Let the given integral be: I = int_0^pi frac(x + 3)sin x1 + 3cos^2x dx quad dots (1) Applying King's property (x to pi - x): I = int_0^pi frac(pi - x + 3)sin(pi - x)1 + 3cos^2(pi - x) dx I = int_0^pi frac(pi - x + 3)sin x1 + 3cos^2x dx quad dots (2) ### Step 1: Eliminate the x Variable Adding equations (1) and (2): 2I = int_0^pi frac[(x + 3) + (pi - x + 3)]sin x1 + 3cos^2x dx 2I = (pi + 6)int_0^pi fracsin x1 + 3cos^2x dx Using the symmetric property int_0^2a f(x)dx = 2int_0^a f(x)dx if f(2a-x)=f(x): 2I = 2(pi + 6)int_0^pi/2 fracsin x1 + 3cos^2x dx I = (pi + 6)int_0^pi/2 fracsin x1 + 3cos^2x dx ### Step 2: Solve Using Substitution Let t = sqrt3cos x. Then dt = -sqrt3sin x dx implies sin x dx = -fracdtsqrt3. Change in integration boundaries: - When x = 0 implies t = sqrt3 - When x = pi/2 implies t = 0 Substituting into the integral: I = (pi + 6) int_sqrt3^0 frac-dt/sqrt31 + t^2 = fracpi + 6sqrt3 int_0^sqrt3 fracdt1 + t^2 I = fracpi + 6sqrt3 left[ tan^-1t right]_0^sqrt3 = fracpi + 6sqrt3 left( tan^-1sqrt3 - 0 right) I = fracpi + 6sqrt3 cdot fracpi3 = fracpi3sqrt3(pi + 6) ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you encounter a linear x factor multiplying trigonometric components in a definite integral with symmetric limits like 0 to pi, executing King's property first is almost guaranteed to cleanly wipe out that variable element. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Definite Integrals

Numerical Answer. Answer: 8 to 8

Solution

### Related Formula King's Property for symmetric integration limits: int_-a^a f(x) \, dx = int_-a^a f(-x) \, dx ### Core Logic Let the given definite integral be I: I = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx(1+e^sin x)(1+sin^4x) quad implies (1) Apply King's property by replacing x with -x (since -pi/2 + pi/2 = 0): I = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos(-x)\,dx(1+e^sin(-x))(1+sin^4(-x)) I = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx(1+e^-sin x)(1+sin^4x) = int_-pi/2^pi/2frac8sqrt2cos x cdot e^sin x\,dx(e^sin x+1)(1+sin^4x) quad implies (2) ### Step 1: Simplify by Adding Expressions Adding equations (1) and (2): 2I = int_-pi/2^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x(1 + e^sin x)\,dx(1+e^sin x)(1+sin^4x) 2I = int_-pi/2^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx1+sin^4x Since the integrand is even, we can change the limits from 0 to pi/2: 2I = 2 int_0^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx1+sin^4x implies I = int_0^pi/2 frac8sqrt2cos x\,dx1+sin^4x ### Step 2: Substitution and Algebraic Deconstruction Let sin x = t implies cos x \, dx = dt. Limits change from 0 to 1: I = int_0^1 frac8sqrt2\,dt1+t^4 = 4sqrt2 int_0^1 frac2\,dt1+t^4 Dividing the numerator and denominator by t^2, we write it as two distinct expressions: I = 4sqrt2 left[ int_0^1 frac1+frac1t^2t^2+frac1t^2 \, dt - int_0^1 frac1-frac1t^2t^2+frac1t^2 \, dt right] I = 4sqrt2 left[ int_-infty^0 fracdzz^2+2 - int_infty^2 fracdkk^2-2 right] where z = t - frac1t and k = t + frac1t. ### Step 3: Integrate and Evaluate Parameters Evaluating standard anti-derivatives: I = 4sqrt2 left[ frac1sqrt2tan^-1left(fraczsqrt2right) right]_-infty^0 - 4sqrt2 left[ frac12sqrt2lnleft|frack-sqrt2k+sqrt2right| right]_infty^2 I = 4sqrt2left(fracpi2sqrt2right) - 2 lnleft|frac2-sqrt22+sqrt2right| = 2pi - 2ln(sqrt2-1)^2 I = 2pi + 2ln(3+2sqrt2) Matching parameters yields alpha = 2 and beta = 2. Thus: alpha^2 + beta^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Exponential variables causing asymmetry in symmetric integration bounds. Shortcut: Using King's rule completely eliminates the confusing e^sin x factor, leaving behind a straightforward rational trigonometric configuration. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Definite Integrals
Q4 jee_main_2024_27_jan_morning Properties of Definite Integrals
If (a, b) be the orthocentre of the triangle whose vertices are (1, 2), (2, 3) and (3, 1), and I_1=int_a^bx~sin(4x-x^2)dx, I_2=int_a^bsin(4x-x^2)dx, then 36fracI_1I_2 is equal to:
  • A. 72
  • B. 88
  • C. 80
  • D. 66

Solution

### Related Formula int_a^b f(x) dx = int_a^b f(a+b-x) dx quad text(King's Rule) ### Core Logic First, find the orthocentre (a,b) of Delta ABC with vertices A(1, 2), B(2, 3), and C(3, 1). Slope of AB = frac3-22-1 = 1. The altitude from C onto AB must be perpendicular to AB, so its slope is -1. Equation of altitude from C(3,1): y - 1 = -1(x - 3) Rightarrow x + y = 4 The orthocentre (a, b) lies on all altitudes, including this one. Thus, it satisfies a + b = 4. ### Step 1: Applying Definite Integral Properties Given I_1 = int_a^b x sin(4x-x^2) dx, let's rewrite the argument of sine: 4x - x^2 = x(4-x) Apply King's Rule replacing x with (a+b-x). Since we proved a+b = 4, substitute x with (4-x): I_1 = int_a^b (4-x) sin((4-x)(4 - (4-x))) dx I_1 = int_a^b (4-x) sin((4-x)x) dx I_1 = int_a^b (4-x) sin(4x-x^2) dx ### Step 2: Evaluating the Integral Ratio Expand the newly formed integral: I_1 = 4 int_a^b sin(4x-x^2) dx - int_a^b x sin(4x-x^2) dx Notice that the second term is I_1 and the first integral is I_2: I_1 = 4I_2 - I_1 Rightarrow 2I_1 = 4I_2 Rightarrow fracI_1I_2 = 2 ### Step 3: Final Output Evaluation We need the value of 36 fracI_1I_2: 36 times 2 = 72 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see int_a^b x cdot f(x(a+b-x)) dx, immediately apply King's Rule to factor out x. You rarely need the individual values of the integration bounds, only their sum. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Straight Lines Class 12 Maths: Definite Integration

If int_0^1frac1sqrt3+x+sqrt1+xdx=a+bsqrt2+csqrt3, where a, b, c are rational numbers, then 2a+3b-4c is equal to:
  • A. 4
  • B. 10
  • C. 7
  • D. 8

Solution

### Related Formula int x^n dx = fracx^n+1n+1 ### Core Logic To evaluate integrals with sum of square roots in the denominator, multiply and divide by the conjugate to rationalize it. I = int_0^1fracsqrt3+x-sqrt1+x(sqrt3+x+sqrt1+x)(sqrt3+x-sqrt1+x)dx I = int_0^1fracsqrt3+x-sqrt1+x(3+x) - (1+x)dx I = frac12 int_0^1 (sqrt3+x - sqrt1+x) dx ### Step 1: Integration and Bounds Setup Integrate the resulting expression: I = frac12 left[ frac(3+x)^3/23/2 - frac(1+x)^3/23/2 right]_0^1 I = frac12 cdot frac23 left[ (3+x)^3/2 - (1+x)^3/2 right]_0^1 I = frac13 left[ ((4)^3/2 - (2)^3/2) - ((3)^3/2 - (1)^3/2) right] ### Step 2: Term Simplification Evaluate the boundary powers: 4^3/2 = 8 2^3/2 = 2sqrt2 3^3/2 = 3sqrt3 1^3/2 = 1 Substitute back into the expression: I = frac13 [ 8 - 2sqrt2 - 3sqrt3 + 1 ] = frac13 [ 9 - 2sqrt2 - 3sqrt3 ] I = 3 - frac23sqrt2 - sqrt3 ### Step 3: Finding Co-efficients Comparing with a+bsqrt2+csqrt3 yields: a = 3, b = -frac23, c = -1 Compute 2a+3b-4c: 2(3) + 3left(-frac23right) - 4(-1) 6 - 2 + 4 = 8 ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see a sum of square roots in the denominator of an integrand, the immediate algorithmic next step is rationalization. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Maths: Definite Integration
