Q.

Let f:[-π2,π2]R be a differentiable function such that f(0)=12. If the limx0x0xf(t)dtex2-1=α, then 8α2 is equal to          [2024]

Ans.

(1)

We have, limx0x0xf(t)ex2-1dt=α

Using L'Hospital's rule, we get limx0xf(x)+0xf(t)dt2xex2=α

Again applying L'Hospital's rule, we get

       limx0f(x)+xf'(x)+f(x)2ex2+4x2ex2=α  α=2f(0)2=f(0)

α=12        [∵ f(0)=12]

  8α2=8×14=2
