Prove that (1+sqrt(2))/2lt int_(0)^(pi//2)(sinx)/x dx lt (pi+2sqrt(2))/4

Answer»

SOLUTION :`f(x)=(sin x)/x`
`:. f'(x)=(xcosx-SINX)/(x^(2))=(cosx(x-tanx))/(x^(2))`
For `xepsilon(0,pi//2),xlt tanx`
`,.f'(x)lt0`
So, `f(x)` is decreasing function.
`lim_(xto0)(sinx)/x=1` and `lim_(to pi//2)(sinx)/x=2/(pi)`
So the graph of the function is as shown in the FOLLOWING figure:

From the figure,
Area of rectangle `OJED+` Area of rectangle `JAGH`
`ltint_(0)^(pi//2)(sinx)/x dx`
`lt` Area of `OJKC+` Area of `JAFE`
`:.(pi)/4 . 4/(pisqrt(2))+(pi)/4 . 2/(pi) lt int_(0)^(pi//2) (sinx)/x dx lt (pi)/4 . 1+(pi)/4 . 4/(pisqrt(2))`
`implies 1/(sqrt(2))+1/2 lt int_(0)^(pi//2)(sinx)/x dx lt (pi)/4 + 1/(sqrt(2))`
`implies(1+sqrt(2))/2 lt int_(a)^(pi//2)(sinx)/x dx lt(pi+2sqrt(2))/4`

Euler's substitution: Integrals of the form intR(x, sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c))dx are claculated with the aid of one of the followingthree Euler substitutions: i.sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c)=t+-x sqrt(a)if a gt 0 ii.sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c)=tx+-x sqrt(c)if c gt 0 iii.sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c)=(x-a)t if ax^(2)+bx+c=a(x-a)(x-b) i.e., if alpha is real root ofax^(2)+bx+c=0 Which of the followingfunctions does not appear in the primitive of(1)/(1+sqrt(x^(2)+2x+2)) if t is a function of x ?

Answer»

`log_(e)|t+1|`
`log_(e)|t+2|`
`(1)/(t+2)`
none of these

Solution :Here, `a=1 GT 0.` Therefore, we make the SUBSTITUTION `sqrt(x^(2)+2x+2)=t-x.` Squaring both sides, we get
`2x+2tx=t^(2)-2 or x=(t^(2)-2)/(2(1+t)) or dx=(t^(2)+2t+2)/(2(1+t)^(2))dt`
`1+sqrt(x^(2)+2x+2)=1+t-(t^(2)-2)/(2(1+t))=(t^(2)+4t+4)/(2(1+t)).`
Substitutinginto the integral, we get
`I=int(2(1+t)(t^(2)+2t+2))/((t^(2)+4t+4)2(1+t)^(2))dt=int((t^(2)+2t+2)dt)/((1+t)(t+2)^(2))`
Now, let us EXPAND the obtained proper rational fraction into partial fractions:
`(t^(2)+2t+2)/((t+1)(t+2)^(2))=(A)/(t+1)+(B)/(t+2)+(D)/((t+2)^(2)).`

Answer»

`log_(e)|t|`
`log_(e)|t-2|`
`log_(e)|t-1|`
`log_(e)|t+1|`

Solution :`I=(dx)/(x+sqrt(x^(2)-x+1))`
SINCE here `c=1 gt 0, ` we can APPLY the SECOND Euler substitution:
`sqrt(x^(2)-x+1)=tx-1`
` or (2t-1)x=(t^(2)-1)x^(2),x=(2t-1)/(t^(2)-1)`
Substitutinginto I, we GET an integral of a RATIONAL fraction:
`int (dx)/(x+sqrt(x^(2)-x+1))=int(-2t^(2)+2t-2)/(t(t-1)(t+1)^(2))dt`
Now, `(-2t^(2)+2t-2)/(t(t-1)(t+1))=(A)/(t)+(B)/(t-1)+(D)/((t+1)^(2))+(E)/(t+1)`

f(x) = {{:((1-coskx)/(x sinx), if x ne 0),(1/2, if x = 0):} at x= 0

Answer»


Solution :We have, `f(x) = {{:((1-coskx)/(x sinx), if x ne 0),(1/2, if x = 0):}` at `x= 0 `
At `x=0, LHL = underset(hrarr0^(-))(lim)(1-coskx)/(xsinx)=underset(hrarr0)lim(1-cos(0-h))/((0-h)sin(0-h))`

`= underset(hrarr0)(lim)(1-cos(-kh))/(-hsin(-h))`
`= underset(hrarr0)(lim)(1-coskh)/(hsinh) ,[:' cos (-theta)=cos theta, sin(-theta)= - sin theta]`
`= underset(hrarr0)lim(1-1+2SIN^(2)'(kh)/(2))/(hsinh), [:' cos theta = 1 - 2 sin^(2) ' (theta)/(2)]`
`= underset(hrarr0)(lim) (2sin^(2)'(kh)/(2))/(h sinh)`
`= underset(hrarr0)lim(2sin'(kh)/(2))/((kh)/(2)).(sin'(kh)/(2))/((kh)/(2)).(1)/((sinh)/(h)).(K^(2)h//4)/(h)`
`= (2k^(2))/(4) = (k^(2))/(2)` , [`:' underset(hrarr0)(lim)' (sinh)/(h) = 1]`
