Let f(x)=limr→x{2r2[(f(r))2–f(x)f(r)]r2–x2–r3ef(r)r} be differentiable in (–∞,0)∪(0,∞) and f(1) = 1. Then the value of ea, such that f(a) = 0, is equal to __________. [2024]
(2)
f(x)=limr→x{2r2((f(r))2–f(x)f(r))r2–x2–r3ef(r)/r}
Using L'Hospital rule, we have
f(x)=limr→x{2r2[2f(r)·f'(r)–f(x)·f'(r)]+[f(r)2–f(x)·f(r)]·4r2r–r3ef(r)r}
=2x2[2f(x)·f'(x)–f(x)·f'(x)]+02x–x3ef(x)x
∴ f(x)=xf(x)·f'(x)–x3·ef(x)x
Let y = f(x)
y2=xy·dydx–x3eyx ⇒ dydx=y2+x3ey/xxy
Put y=vx ⇒ dydx=v+xdvdx
⇒ v2x2+x3evxxx·vx=v+xdvdx ⇒ v2+xevv–v=xdvdx
⇒ evv=dvdx ⇒ dx=ve–vdv
⇒ ∫dx=∫v·e–vdv ⇒ x+c=–e–v(v+1)
⇒ x+c=–e–y/x(yx+1) ... (i)
∵ y(1)=1
⇒ 1+c=–e–1(2)
⇒ c=–1–2e ... (ii)
Now, f(a) = 0
∴ a+c=–e–0/a(0a+1) [Using (i)]
a + c = –1
a=–1–c=–1+1+2e=2e [Using (ii)]
∴ ea = 2.
