Core Logic

Perform variable substitution to match the arguments and limit bounds across both separate integral functions before invoking King's property.

Step 1: Perform Base Transformation Substitution

In I₁, let 2x = t 2dx = dt. Limits mapping: x = -1/2 t = -1; x = 1 t = 2.

I₁ = (1)/(2) ∫₋₁² t f(t(1-t)) dt 2I₁ = ∫₋₁² t f(t(1-t)) dt
Step 2: Invoke Integral Mirror Properties

Apply the identity using parameters (a+b-t) = (1-t):

2I₁ = ∫₋₁² (1-t) f((1-t)(1-(1-t))) dt 2I₁ = ∫₋₁² f(t(1-t)) dt - ∫₋₁² t f(t(1-t)) dt
Step 3: Final Matrix Matching Evaluation

Notice component blocks align exactly with I₂ definition values:

2I₁ = I₂ - 2I₁ 4I₁ = I₂ (I₂)/(I₁) = 4
Pattern Recognition

Symmetric transformations highlighting factor expressions like x(1-x) coupled with an external linear multiplier term x naturally simplify to half-weight area forms using reflection rules.

Additivity property of definite integrals over split interval boundary points:

∫ₐc g(x) dx = ∫ₐb g(x) dx + ∫bc g(x) dx
Core Logic

Separate the integration tracking flow into two component operations:

I₁ = ∫₀(pi)/(4) |4x - (pi)/(12)| dx I₂ = ∫₀(pi)/(4) [2 x] dx
Step 1: Solve Modulus Integral Term

The argument changes sign inside absolute value bounds when 4x - (pi)/(12) = 0 x = (pi)/(48):

I₁ = ∫₀(pi)/(48) - (4x - (pi)/(12)) dx + ∫(pi)/(48)(pi)/(4) (4x - (pi)/(12)) dx = (1)/(4) [ (4x - (pi)/(12)) ]₀(pi)/(48) - (1)/(4) [ (4x - (pi)/(12)) ](pi)/(48)(pi)/(4)

Evaluating across numerical boundaries gives:

24 · I₁ = 24((1)/(2)) = 12
Step 2: Solve Greatest Integer Component and Combine

Analyze step limits inside greatest integer block [2 x]: For x in [0, (pi)/(6)), 0 ≤ 2 x < 1 [2 x] = 0. For x in [(pi)/(6), (pi)/(4)], 1 ≤ 2 x < √(2) [2 x] = 1.

I₂ = ∫₀(pi)/(6) 0 dx + ∫(pi)/(6)(pi)/(4) 1 dx = (pi)/(4) - (pi)/(6) = (pi)/(12)

Combine both sections aggregated by multiplier 24:

Total = 12 + 24((pi)/(12)) = 2π + 12

Comparing directly with expression statement parameters 2π + α isolates response value: α = 12

  • C. 100
  • D. 64

Solution

Related Formula

King's property for definite integration:

∫ₐ^b f(x) dx = ∫ₐ^b f(a+b-x) dx
Core Logic

Apply the identity x → -x to the integral:

I = ∫-(π)/(2)(π)/(2) (96x² ² x)/(1 + e^x) dx = ∫-(π)/(2)(π)/(2) 96x² ² x1 + e-x dx
Step 1: Adding both integral variations

Adding the equations eliminates the exponential denominator term (1+e^x):

2I = ∫-(π)/(2)(π)/(2) 96x² ² x · [(1)/(1+e^x) + (e^x)/(1+e^x)] dx I = 48 ∫₀(π)/(2) x² (1 + 2x) dx
Step 2: Evaluating the integrated components

Integrating by parts gives:

I = π (2π² - 12)

Matching coefficients with the template: α = 2 and \beta = -12.

(α + β)² = (2 - 12)² = (-10)² = 100

Exponential denominators like 1+e^x in symmetric integral intervals are prime candidates for simplification using King's property.

Q68 jee_main_2025_04_april_evening Properties of Definite Integrals
Let f(x) + 2f((1)/(x)) = x² + 5 and 2 g (x) - 3 g ((1)/(2)) = x, x > 0. If α = ∫_ 1 ^ 2 f (x) d x, and β = ∫_ 1 ^ 2 g (x) d x, then the value of 9α + β is:
  • A. 1
  • B. 0
  • C. 10
  • D. 11

Solution

Core Logic

We have two functional equations to solve before integrating.

Equation 1: f(x) + 2f((1)/(x)) = x² + 5 Replace x with (1)/(x):

f((1)/(x)) + 2f(x) = (1)/(x²) + 5

Multiplying this new equation by 2 and subtracting the original Equation 1 eliminates the f((1)/(x)) term:

4f(x) + 2f((1)/(x)) - (f(x) + 2f((1)/(x))) = 2((1)/(x²) + 5) - (x² + 5) 3f(x) = (2)/(x²) - x² + 5 f(x) = (2)/(3x²) - (x²)/(3) + (5)/(3)
Step 1: Finding alpha

Integrate f(x) from 1 to 2:

α = ∫₁² ( (2)/(3x²) - (x²)/(3) + (5)/(3) ) dx = [ -(2)/(3x) - (x³)/(9) + (5x)/(3) ]₁² α = ( -(1)/(3) - (8)/(9) + (10)/(3) ) - ( -(2)/(3) - (1)/(9) + (5)/(3) ) = (19)/(9) - (8)/(9) = (11)/(9)

Thus, 9α = 11.

Step 2: Solving for g(x) and finding beta

We are given 2g(x) - 3g((1)/(2)) = x. Substitute x = (1)/(2):

2g((1)/(2)) - 3g((1)/(2)) = (1)/(2) -g((1)/(2)) = (1)/(2) g((1)/(2)) = -(1)/(2)

Substitute this constant value back into the original equation:

2g(x) - 3(-(1)/(2)) = x 2g(x) + (3)/(2) = x g(x) = (x)/(2) - (3)/(4)

Now find β:

β = ∫₁² ( (x)/(2) - (3)/(4) ) dx = [ (x²)/(4) - (3x)/(4) ]₁² = ( 1 - (3)/(2) ) - ( (1)/(4) - (3)/(4) ) = -(1)/(2) - (-(1)/(2)) = 0
Step 3: Calculating 9alpha + beta

Combining our values:

9α + β = 11 + 0 = 11
Pattern Recognition

Functional equations involving x → (1)/(x) are easily solved by treating the swapped forms as a system of linear equations, allowing direct isolation of the underlying function.

King's property of definite integrals:

Core Logic

Let the given integral be I. Apply King's property by substituting x → -x:

I = ∫₋₁¹ (1 + √(|x| + x))e-x + (√(|x| + x))exe-x + ex dx

Add both integral expressions 2I = I + I:

2I = ∫₋₁¹ (e^x + e-x) + (√(|x| - x) + √(|x| + x))(e^x + e-x)e^x + e-x dx 2I = ∫₋₁¹ (1 + √(|x| - x) + √(|x| + x)) dx
Step 1: Apply Symmetry Properties

The integrand is completely even. Hence, convert intervals:

2I = 2∫₀¹ (1 + √(|x| - x) + √(|x| + x)) dx

For x in [0,1], |x| = x √(|x| - x) = 0 and √(|x| + x) = √(2x):

I = ∫₀¹ (1 + √(2x)) dx
Step 2: Final Integration Execution
I = [ x + √(2) · x3/23/2 ]₀¹ = [ x + 2√(2)3x3/2 ]₀¹ I = 1 + 2√(2)3

When functions involve combinations of exponential components (e^x, e-x) over symmetric boundaries, adding the variable reflection eliminates exponential fractions instantly.

  • D. I(9, 13)

Solution

Related Formula

The beta function integral format satisfies:

I(m,n) = ∫₀¹ xm-1 (1-x)ⁿ⁻¹ dx
Core Logic

Let's combine the terms of the requested sum directly by inserting their respective definitions:

I(9,14) = ∫₀¹ x⁹⁻¹ (1-x)¹⁴⁻¹ dx = ∫₀¹ x⁸ (1-x)¹³ dx I(10,13) = ∫₀¹ x¹⁰⁻¹ (1-x)¹³⁻¹ dx = ∫₀¹ x⁹ (1-x)¹² dx
Step 1: Factoring out common algebraic terms

Summing the two components:

I(9,14) + I(10,13) = ∫₀¹ [ x⁸ (1-x)¹³ + x⁹ (1-x)¹² ] dx

Factor out the common term x⁸ (1-x)¹² inside the integrand:

= ∫₀¹ x⁸ (1-x)¹² [ (1-x) + x ] dx = ∫₀¹ x⁸ (1-x)¹² (1) dx = ∫₀¹ x⁹⁻¹ (1-x)¹³⁻¹ dx = I(9,13)
Pattern Recognition

When dealing with linear combinations of beta functions with shifting parameter indices, directly writing down the definite integral expression often results in immediate algebraic cancellation or simplification via basic factoring.
