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
Pattern Recognition

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

Numerical Answer. Answer: 2 to 2

Solution

Separate variables out of definite integrals bounds: ∫ₐb k(x) h(y) dy = k(x) ∫ₐb h(y) dy
Core Logic

Expand the integral by distributing f(y):

f(x) = e^x + ∫₀¹ y f(y) dy + x e^x ∫₀¹ f(y) dy

Since the integrals evaluate to constants, let:

A = ∫₀¹ y f(y) dy B = ∫₀¹ f(y) dy

Thus, the function becomes:

f(x) = e^x + A + B x e^x
Step 1: Setting up equation for A

Substitute f(y) = e^y + A + B y e^y back into the integral for A:

A = ∫₀¹ y(e^y + A + B y e^y) dy A = ∫₀¹ (y e^y + A y + B y² e^y) dy

Integrate by parts: ∫₀¹ y e^y dy = [y e^y - e^y]₀¹ = (e - e) - (0 - 1) = 1 ∫₀¹ y² e^y dy = [y² e^y - 2y e^y + 2e^y]₀¹ = (e - 2e + 2e) - 2 = e - 2 ∫₀¹ A y dy = (A)/(2)

So,

A = 1 + (A)/(2) + B(e - 2) (A)/(2) - B(e - 2) = 1 (1)
Step 2: Setting up equation for B

Substitute f(y) back into the integral for B:

B = ∫₀¹ (e^y + A + B y e^y) dy

Integrate terms: ∫₀¹ e^y dy = e - 1 ∫₀¹ A dy = A ∫₀¹ B y e^y dy = B(1) = B

So,

B = (e - 1) + A + B

0 = e - 1 + A A = 1 - e

Step 3: Calculating f(0)

Substitute

Step 3: Calculating f(0)

Substitute $A = 1 - einto the expression forf(0): From the general equation,f(x) = e^x + A + B x e^x.

f(0) = e⁰ + A + B(0)e⁰ = 1 + Af(0) = 1 + (1 - e) = 2 - e

Q13 jee_main_2026_28_january_evening Greatest Integer Function integrals
Let [·] denote the greatest integer function. Then ∫-(π)/(2)(π)/(2)((12(3+[x]))/(3+[ x]+[ x]))dx is equal to:
  • A. 15π + 4
  • B. 11π + 2
  • C. 13π + 1
  • D. 12π + 5

Solution

Core Logic

Split the integral I at integer points and trigonometric step thresholds between -π/2 ≈ -1.57 and π/2 ≈ 1.57: Intervals are: (-π/2, -1), (-1, 0), (0, 1), (1, π/2). For all x in (-π/2, π/2) excluding exactly 0, [ x] = 0. [ x] = -1 for x in (-π/2, 0) and [ x] = 0 for x in (0, π/2).

Execution

Evaluate in pieces:

  • x in (-π/2, -1):
  • [x] = -2, [ x] = -1, [ x] = 0. Integrand = (12(3 - 2))/(3 - 1 + 0) = (12(1))/(2) = 6.

  • x in (-1, 0):
  • [x] = -1, [ x] = -1, [ x] = 0. Integrand = (12(3 - 1))/(2) = (24)/(2) = 12.

  • x in (0, 1):
  • [x] = 0, [ x] = 0, [ x] = 0. Integrand = (12(3 + 0))/(3) = 12.

  • x in (1, π/2):
  • [x] = 1, [ x] = 0, [ x] = 0. Integrand = (12(3 + 1))/(3) = (48)/(3) = 16.

    Integrate piece by piece:

I = ∫-π/2⁻¹ 6 dx + ∫₋₁⁰ 12 dx + ∫₀¹ 12 dx + ∫₁π/2 16 dx I = 6(-1 + π/2) + 12(0 - (-1)) + 12(1 - 0) + 16(π/2 - 1) I = 3π - 6 + 12 + 12 + 8π - 16

I = 11π + 2

Pattern Recognition

For integrals combining integer functions and trigonometric boundaries, breaking the domain purely at integer values (-1, 0, 1) generally perfectly matches trigonometric boundaries since the ranges of and in (-π/2, π/2) hover near these integers.

King's Property of Definite Integrals:

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

Let the given integral be:

I = ∫₀^π ((x + 3) x)/(1 + 3 ²x) dx (1)

Applying King's property (x → π - x):

I = ∫₀^π ((π - x + 3) (π - x))/(1 + 3 ²(π - x)) dx I = ∫₀^π ((π - x + 3) x)/(1 + 3 ²x) dx (2)
Step 1: Eliminate the x Variable

Adding equations (1) and (2):

2I = ∫₀^π ([(x + 3) + (π - x + 3)] x)/(1 + 3 ²x) dx 2I = (π + 6)∫₀^π ( x)/(1 + 3 ²x) dx

Using the symmetric property ∫₀2a f(x)dx = 2∫₀^a f(x)dx if f(2a-x)=f(x):

2I = 2(π + 6)∫₀π/2 ( x)/(1 + 3 ²x) dx I = (π + 6)∫₀π/2 ( x)/(1 + 3 ²x) dx
Step 2: Solve Using Substitution

Let t = √(3) x. Then dt = -√(3) x dx x dx = - dt√(3). Change in integration boundaries:

  • When x = 0 t = √(3)
  • When x = π/2 t = 0
  • Substituting into the integral:

I = (π + 6) ∫√(3)⁰ -dt/√(3)1 + t² = π + 6√(3) ∫₀√(3) (dt)/(1 + t²) I = π + 6√(3) [ ⁻¹t ]₀√(3) = π + 6√(3) ( ⁻¹√(3) - 0 ) I = π + 6√(3) · (π)/(3) = π3√(3)(π + 6)
Pattern Recognition

Whenever you encounter a linear x factor multiplying trigonometric components in a definite integral with symmetric limits like 0 to π, executing King's property first is almost guaranteed to cleanly wipe out that variable element.

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.

∫ x (π x) dx = -(x)/(π) (π x) + ( (π x))/(π²)
Core Logic

Track sign configurations across the target integration segments to drop absolute modulus walls effectively at clean quadrant intervals.

Step 1: Break Apart the Modulus Domain

For x in [-1, 1], product value elements x (π x) ≥ 0. For x in [1, 3/2], values drop below zero:

I = π² ∫₋₁¹ x (π x) dx - ∫₁3/2 x (π x) dx
Step 2: Integrate the Even Function Block

Since x (π x) is symmetric and even:

∫₋₁¹ x (π x) dx = 2 ∫₀¹ x (π x) dx = 2 [ -(x)/(π) (π x) + ( (π x))/(π²) ]₀¹ = (2)/(π)
Step 3: Subtract the Inverse Segment

Evaluating boundary limits across the secondary phase track:

∫₁3/2 x (π x) dx = [ -(x)/(π) (π x) + ( (π x))/(π²) ]₁3/2 = ( 0 - (1)/(π²) ) - ( (1)/(π) ) = -(1)/(π²) - (1)/(π) I = π² (2)/(π) - (-(1)/(π²) - (1)/(π)) = π² ( (3)/(π) + (1)/(π²) ) = 3π + 1
Pattern Recognition

Products of two odd tracking metrics (like linear variable x matched with sinusoidal waves) yield overall even systems, enabling rapid evaluation over center-aligned domains.
