Q.

Let f:[1,)[2,) be a differentiable function. If 101xf(t)dt=5xf(x)x59 for all x1, then the value of f(3) is :          [2025]

1 32  
2 18  
3 22  
4 26  

Ans.

(1)

We have, 101xf(t)dt=5xf(x)x59

On differentiating both sides, we get

     10f(x)=5f(x)+5xf'(x)5x4

 5f(x)=5xf'(x)5x4

 f(x)=xf'(x)x4

 f'(x)1xf(x)=x3

 dydxyx=x3          [Taking y = f(x)]

This is a linear differential equation

  I.F.=e1xdx=elnx=1x

Solution is yx=x3xdx+c

 yx=x33+c 

 y=x43+cx

 f(x)=x43+cx        ... (i)

Now, using original equation, we have

101xf(t)dt=5xf(x)x59

Put x = 1, we get 0 = 5f(1) – 10  f(1) = 2

Substituting this value in equation (i), we get

 2=13+c  c=53         f(x)=x43+53x

 f(3)=27+5=32
