Q.

Let a differentiable function f satisfy f(x)+3xf(t)tdt=x+1, x3. Then 12f(8) is equal to:             [2023]

1 19  
2 17  
3 1  
4 34  

Ans.

(2)

We have, f(x)+3xf(t)tdt=x+1, x3

On differentiating, we get  

f'(x)+f(x)x=12x+1dydx+1xy=12x+1

I.F.=e1xdx=elnx=x

Solution; xy=x2x+1dx

Put x+1=t2; dx=2tdt

xy=(t2-1)2tdt2t=(t2-1)dt=t33-t+C

=(x+1)33-x+1+C

At x=3,y=2

  3×2=(3+1)33-3+1+C6=83-2+C C=163

  f(x)=(x+1)33x-x+1x+163x

Now, 12f(8)=12[(8+1)33×8-8+18+163×8]=17
