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

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.

Q71 jee_main_2025_24_jan_morning Differentiating Under the Integral Sign
Let f be a differentiable function such that 2(x+2)²f(x) - 3(x+2)² = 10∫₀x(t+2)f(t)dt for x ≥ 0. Then f(2) is equal to ________.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 19

Solution

Related Formula

The Leibniz Integral Rule template allows direct differentiation of an integral with variable limits:

(d)/(dx)( ∫₀x g(t) dt ) = g(x)
Core Logic

Differentiate both sides of the given functional equation with respect to x using the product rule:

(d)/(dx)[ 2(x+2)² f(x) - 3(x+2)² ] = (d)/(dx)[ 10∫₀x(t+2)f(t)dt ] 4(x+2)f(x) + 2(x+2)² f'(x) - 6(x+2) = 10(x+2)f(x)

Since x ≥ 0, the factor (x+2) is strictly non-zero. Divide the entire equation by 2(x+2):

2f(x) + (x+2)f'(x) - 3 = 5f(x) (x+2)f'(x) - 3f(x) = 3
Step 1: Solve the First-Order Differential Equation

Rearrange the expression into standard linear differential equation form where y = f(x):

(dy)/(dx) - (3)/(x+2)y = (3)/(x+2)

Compute the Integrating Factor (I.F.):

I.F. = e∫ -(3)/(x+2) dx = e-3ln(x+2) = (x+2)⁻³

Multiply through by the I.F. and integrate:

y · (x+2)⁻³ = ∫ (3)/(x+2) · (x+2)⁻³ dx = ∫ 3(x+2)⁻⁴ dx (f(x))/((x+2)³) = 3 · (x+2)⁻³-3 + C = -(x+2)⁻³ + C f(x) = -1 + C(x+2)³
Step 2: Apply the Boundary Condition

Find the boundary condition by substituting x = 0 into the original integral equation equation:

2(0+2)² f(0) - 3(0+2)² = 10 ∫₀⁰ (t+2)f(t) dt 8f(0) - 12 = 0 f(0) = (12)/(8) = (3)/(2)

Substitute x = 0 into our general solution formula:

f(0) = -1 + C(0+2)³ (3)/(2) = -1 + 8C (5)/(2) = 8C C = (5)/(16)

Thus, the explicit function is:

f(x) = -1 + (5)/(16)(x+2)³
Step 3: Evaluate at target point x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into the final function equation:

f(2) = -1 + (5)/(16)(2+2)³ = -1 + (5)/(16)(64) f(2) = -1 + 5(4) = -1 + 20 = 19
Pattern Recognition

When an equation contains a variable integral limit ∫₀^x, differentiating both sides using the Leibniz rule converts it into a standard differential equation. The initial value is found by setting x = 0 directly in the original expression.

Core Logic

Given F(x) = xf(x) and f(2) = 1 F(2) = 2f(2) = 2.

Let's apply Integration by Parts to the first given integral:

∫₀² x F'(x) dx = 6 [ xF(x) ]₀² - ∫₀² F(x) dx = 6 2F(2) - 0 - ∫₀² F(x) dx = 6 2(2) - ∫₀² F(x) dx = 6 ∫₀² F(x) dx = 4 - 6 = -2
Step 1: Simplify Second Integral via Integration by Parts

Now look at the second integral:

∫₀² x² F''(x) dx = 40

Applying Integration by parts (taking u = x² and v = F''(x)):

[ x² F'(x) ]₀² - ∫₀² 2x F'(x) dx = 40 4 F'(2) - 0 - 2 ∫₀² x F'(x) dx = 40

We already know ∫₀² x F'(x) dx = 6:

4 F'(2) - 2(6) = 40 4 F'(2) - 12 = 40 4 F'(2) = 52 F'(2) = 13
Step 2: Sum the Values

We need to find F'(2) + ∫₀² F(x) dx: 13 + (-2) = 11

Pattern Recognition

Notice how the definition of f(x) is mostly a distraction to find F(2)=2. The problem is fundamentally testing consecutive applications of integration by parts to reduction structures.

Let θ - θ = t. Then ( θ + θ)dθ = dt. Transform limits: When θ = 0 t = 0 - 1 = -1 When θ = (π)/(4) t = 1√(2) - 1√(2) = 0

9 + 16 2θ = 9 + 16[1 - t²] = 25 - 16t²

The integral transforms to:

Leibniz Integral Rule for differentiation: (d)/(dx)∫₀x f(t) dt = f(x)
Core Logic

Perform variable substitution inside the integral: let λ x = t dλ = (1)/(x) dt. When λ = 0 t = 0; when λ = 1 t = x. The equation transforms to:

(1)/(x) ∫₀x f(t) dt = a f(x) ∫₀x f(t) dt = a x f(x)
Step 1: Differentiate with respect to x

Using Leibniz rule and product rule:

f(x) = a [x f'(x) + f(x)] (1 - a)f(x) = a x f'(x) (f'(x))/(f(x)) = (1-a)/(a) (1)/(x)

Integrating both sides yields:

ln f(x) = ((1-a)/(a))ln x + c f(x) = C x(1-a)/(a)
Step 2: Calculate Constants using boundaries

Given f(1) = 1 C = 1. Given f(16) = (1)/(8) (1)/(8) = (16)(1-a)/(a) 2⁻³ = (2⁴)(1-a)/(a)

-3 = (4(1-a))/(a) -3a = 4 - 4a a = 4

Therefore, power exponent = (1-4)/(4) = -(3)/(4) f(x) = x-(3)/(4).

Step 3: Evaluate target derivative value

Find the derivative:

f'(x) = -(3)/(4) x-(7)/(4)

Substitute x = (1)/(16):

f'((1)/(16)) = -(3)/(4) (2⁻⁴)-(7)/(4) = -(3)/(4) (2⁷) = -(3)/(4) × 128 = -96

Final requested computation calculation:

16 - f'((1)/(16)) = 16 - (-96) = 112

King's Property of Definite Integrals:

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

Let the given integral be I:

I = ∫₀(π)/(4) x dx ⁴(2x)+ ⁴(2x)

Substitute 2x = t 2dx = dt dx = (1)/(2)dt. When x = 0 t = 0, and when x = (π)/(4) t = (π)/(2).

I = (1)/(4) ∫₀(π)/(2) t dt ⁴t + ⁴t (1)
Step 1: Apply King's Property

Applying the property ∫₀a f(t) dt = ∫₀a f(a-t) dt:

I = (1)/(4) ∫₀(π)/(2) ((π)/(2) - t) dt ⁴((π)/(2)-t) + ⁴((π)/(2)-t) I = (1)/(4) ∫₀(π)/(2) ((π)/(2) - t) dt ⁴t + ⁴t (2)

Adding equations (1) and (2):

2I = (1)/(4) ∫₀(π)/(2) (π)/(2) dt ⁴t + ⁴t 2I = (π)/(8) ∫₀(π)/(2) dt ⁴t + ⁴t 2I = (π)/(8) ∫₀(π)/(2) ⁴t dt ⁴t + 1 2I = (π)/(8) ∫₀(π)/(2) (1 + ²t) ²t dt ⁴t + 1
Step 2: Substitution and Algebraic Limits

Let t = y ²t dt = dy. When t = 0 y = 0, and when t = (π)/(2) y = ∞.

2I = (π)/(8) ∫₀∞ (1 + y²) dy1 + y⁴ I = (π)/(16) ∫₀∞ 1 + 1y²y² + 1y² dy

Now put y - (1)/(y) = p (1 + 1y²) dy = dp. When y → 0^+ p → -∞, and when y → ∞ p → ∞. Also, y² + 1y² = p² + 2 = p² + (√(2))².

I = (π)/(16) ∫-∞∞ dpp² + (√(2))² I = π16√(2) [ ⁻¹( p√(2)) ]-∞∞

$I = π16√(2) ( (π)/(2) - (-(π)/(2)) ) = π²16√(2) = √(2)π²32

Pattern Recognition

Sees: Integrand containing x in the numerator and symmetric trigonometric functions in the denominator. Shortcut: The elimination of x using King's property is standard. For integrals containing (1+y²)/(1+y⁴), dividing by y² transforms the denominator into a perfect square form (y-(1)/(y))²+2, making substitution trivial.
