Q.

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

Ans.

(1)

We have, limx→0x∫0xf(t) ex2-1dt=α

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

Again applying L'Hospital's rule, we get

       limx→0f(x)+xf'(x)+f(x)2ex2+4x2ex2=α ⇒ α=2f(0)2=f(0)

⇒α=12        [∵ f(0)=12]

∴  8α2=8×14=2
