1.

Evaluate:  \(\int\limits_0^1\cfrac{tan^{-1}}{(1+x^2)}dx\)∫ tan-1x/(1+x2)dx, x ∈[0,1]

Answer»

Let \(I=\int\limits_0^1\cfrac{tan^-1x}{1+x^2}dx\)

Let tan-1x=t

\(\Rightarrow\cfrac{1}{1+x^2}dx=dt.\)

Also, when x=0, t=0

and when x=1,t=\(\cfrac{\pi}{4}\)

Hence,

\(I= \int\limits_0^{\pi/4}t\,dt=\cfrac{1}{2}t^2|_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}=\cfrac{\pi^2}{32}\)

Prove that  \(\int\limits_0^{\pi/2}(sin\,x-cos\,x)log(sin\,x+cos\,x)dx=0\)∫ (sin x- cos x)log(sin x+ cos x)dx=0, x ∈[0,π/2]

Answer»

Let, sin x + cos x = t 

⇒ cos x – sin x dx = dt 

At x = 0, t = 1 

At x = π/2, t = 1

\(y=\int\limits_0^{1}-logt\,dt\)

We know that when upper and lower limit in definite integral is 

equal then value of integration is zero. 

So, y = 0

Evaluate\(\int\limits_{0}^{1}\cfrac{2\text x}{1+\text x^2}d\text x \)

Answer»

Let I =  \(\int\limits_{0}^{1}\cfrac{2\text x}{1+\text x^2}d\text x \)

Substituting 1+x= t

⇒ 2x dx=dt

Also, When x = 0, t=1 and x=1, t = 2

We get

I = \(\int\limits_{0}^{1}\cfrac{1}tdt\)

= loget \(|^2_1\) = loge 2 - loge1

= loge2 (Since loge1 = 0)

If the marginal cost of a firm is f'(x) = 10 + 6x – 6x2 where x is the output find the total cost assuming that the fixed cost is Rs 125.

Answer»

Given MC = f'(x) = 10 + 6x – 6x2, C = 125, TC = ? 

TC = C(x) = ∫MCdx = ∫(10 +6x – 6x2)dx = 10x + \(\frac{6x^2}{2} - \frac{6x^3}{3}\)+ C 

Total cost = 10x + 3x2 – 2x3 + 125.

Evaluate:\(\int\cfrac{e^x}{(e^{2x}+1)}dx\) ∫ ex/(e2x+1)

Answer»

To find: \(\int\cfrac{e^x}{(e^{2x}+1)}dx\)

Formula Used: \(\int\cfrac{dx}{1+x^2}=tan^{-1}x\)

Let y = ex … (1) 

Differentiating both sides, we get '

dy = ex dx 

Substituting in given equation,

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\int\cfrac{dy}{y^2+1}\)

⇒ tan-1 y

From (1), 

⇒ tan-1 (ex ) 

Therefore,

\(\int\cfrac{e^x}{(e^{2x}+1)}dx=tan^{-1}(e^x)+c\)

25.

Mark against the correct answer in the following:\(\int\limits_{-\pi}^\pi\,tan\,x\,dx=?\)∫ tan x dx=?, x ∈[-π,π]A. 2 B.\(\cfrac{1}{2}\) C.-2 D. 0

Answer»

Correct answer: D. 0

f(x)=tan x 

f(-x) =tan(-x) 

=-tan x 

hence the function is odd, 

therefore, I=0

Evaluate the following Integral:\(\int\limits_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3}\)(tan x + cot x)2 dx

Answer»

 =\(\int\limits_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3}\)tan2x + 2tanx cot x + cot2x dx

recall: sec2x - tan2x = 1, cosec2x - cot2x = 1

\(\int\limits_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3}\)sec2x -1 + 2 + cosec2x - 1 dx

\(\int\limits_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3}\) sec2x + cosec2x dx

Integral sec2x is tan x and integral of cosec2x = - cot x

= [tan x]\(\cfrac{\frac{\pi}3}{\frac{\pi}6}\) - [cot x]\(\cfrac{\frac{\pi}3}{\frac{\pi}6}\)

Tan 30 = cot 60 = \(\cfrac{1}{\sqrt3}\)

Tan 60 = cot 30 = √3

= Tan 60 - cot 60 - {Tan 30 - cot 30}

\(\sqrt3-\cfrac{1}{\sqrt3}-(\cfrac{1}{\sqrt3}-\sqrt3)\)

\(\cfrac{4}{\sqrt3}\)

29.

Evaluate \(\int\limits_{0}^{1}\cfrac{1}{\text x^2+1}d\text x\)

Answer»

Let I = \(\int\limits_{0}^{1}\cfrac{1}{\text x^2+1}d\text x\)

Substituting x=tanθ ⇒ dx=sec2θdθ (By differentiating both sides)

Also, when x=0, θ=0 and x=1 θ = \(\cfrac{\pi}4\)

Since sec2θ=1 + tan2θ

We get I = \(\int\limits_{0}^{\pi/4}d\theta\)

\(\cfrac{\pi}4\)

30.

LetI1 = \(\int_e^{e^2} \cfrac{dx}{log\,x}\) and  I2 = \(\int_1^2 \cfrac{e^x}{x}.dx,\) I1 = ∫ dx/log x , x ∈ [e, e2] and I2 = ∫ ex/x .dx, x ∈ [1, 2] then(a) I1 = 1/3 I2 (b) I1 + I2 = 0(c) I1 = 2I2 (d) I1 = I2

Answer»

Correct option is: (a) 0 

32.

Evaluate\(\int\limits_{-1}^{1}\) x | x | dx

Answer»

Let

I =  \(\int\limits_{-1}^{1} \) x | x | dx

|x|= -x, if x <0

And |x|=x, if x ≥ 0

Therefore f(x)=x|x|=-x2, if x<0

And f(x)=x|x|=x2, if x ≥ 0

Consider x≥0 ⇒ f(x)=x2

Then -x < 0 ⇒ f(-x) = -(-x)2 = -f(-x)

Now Consider x<0 ⇒ f(x)=-x2

Then -x ≥ 0 ⇒ f(-x) =-(-x)2=x2= -f(x)

Hence f(x) is an odd function. An odd function is a function which satisfies the propertyf(-x) =-f(-x), ∀ x∈ Domain of f(x)

There is a property of integration of odd functions which states that

\(\int\limits_{-a}^af(x)dx=0 \) if f(x) is an odd function.

Therefore I =  \(\int\limits_{-1}^{1} \) x | x | dx = 0

33.

Evaluate\(\int\limits_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\) x cos2x dx

Answer»

Let I =  \(\int\limits_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2} \) x cos2x dx

f(x)=xcos2x

f(-x)=(-x)cos2(-x)

=-xcos2x

=-f(x)

 Hence, f(x) is an odd function.

Since, \(\int\limits_{-a}^af(x)dx=0\) if f(x) is an odd function.

Therefore, I = 0.

34.

Evaluate\(\int\limits_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\)sin3x dx

Answer»

Let I = \(\int\limits_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\)sin3x dx

f(x)=sin3x

 f(-x)=sin3(-x)=-sin3x

Hence, f(x) is an odd function.

Since. \(\int\limits_{-a}^af(x)dx=0\) if f(x) is an odd function.

Therefore, I = 0
