If f(x)=leftintfrac1x^1/4(1+x^1/4)dxright., f(0)=-6, then f(1) is equal to:

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Standard substitution method and logarithmic integral rule: int frac1t+1 dt = ln|t+1| + C ### Core Logic Let x = t^4 implies dx = 4t^3 dt. When substituting into the integral: f(x) = int frac4t^3t(1+t) dt = 4 int fract^21+t dt ### Step 1: Simplify the Integral Rewrite the numerator t^2 as (t^2 - 1) + 1: 4 int frac(t^2 - 1) + 11+t dt = 4 int left( frac(t-1)(t+1)1+t + frac11+t right) dt 4 int (t - 1) dt + 4 int frac1t+1 dt 4 left[ frac(t-1)^22 right] + 4 ln|t+1| + C = 2(t-1)^2 + 4 ln|t+1| + C Substitute back t = x^1/4: f(x) = 2(x^1/4 - 1)^2 + 4 ln(1 + x^1/4) + C ### Step 2: Solve for Constant C and Find f(1) Given f(0) = -6: -6 = 2(0 - 1)^2 + 4 ln(1 + 0) + C -6 = 2 + 0 + C implies C = -8 Now find f(1): f(1) = 2(1^1/4 - 1)^2 + 4 ln(1 + 1^1/4) - 8 f(1) = 2(0) + 4 ln(2) - 8 = 4 ln 2 - 8 = 4(ln 2 - 2) ### Pattern Recognition By adding and subtracting terms in the numerator (t^2-1+1), we can quickly bypass long division for polynomials and directly integrate using standard forms. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Indefinite Integration
