Let α∈(0,1) and β=loge(1-α). Let Pn(x)=x+x22+x33+…+xnn,x∈(0,1). Then the integral ∫0αt501-tdt is equal to [2023]
(2)
We have, Pn(x)=x+x22+x33+⋯+xnn, x∈(0,1) ...(i)
Let I=∫0αt501-tdt=∫0αt50+1-11-tdt=∫0α(-(1-t50)1-t+11-t)dt
=∫0α-(1+t+t2+…+t49)dt+∫0α11-tdt
=-[t+t22+t33+⋯+t5050]0α-[log(1-t)]0α
=-log(1-α)-[α+α22+α33+⋯+α5050]
=-β-P50(α) [∵ β=loge(1-α) and from (i)]
=-(β+P50(α))
