Let [·] denote the greatest integer function. If ∫0e3[1ex–1]dx=α–loge2, then α3 is equal to __________. [2025]
(8)
Let f(x)=1ex–1=e1–x
f(0)=e1=2.71; f(e3)=e1–e3∈(0,1)
Let f(x)=2 ⇒ 1ex–1=2 ⇒ x=1–loge2
and f(x)=1 ⇒ x=1
∴ I=∫01–loge22dx+∫1–loge211 dx+∫1e30 dx
=2(1–loge2–0)+(1–1+loge2)+0=2–loge2
∴ α=2
Hence, α3=8.
