Q.

Let f be a differentiable function in the interval (0, ∞) such that f(1) =1 and limt→xt2f(x)–x2f(t)t–x=1 for each x > 0. Then 2f(2) + 3f(3) is equal to __________.          [2024]


Ans.

(24)

We Have ltt→xt2f(x)–x2f(t)t–x=1          (00 form)

⇒ ltt→x2tf(x)–x2f'(t)1=1          [L'Hospital Rule]

⇒ 2xf(x)–x2f'(x)=1 ⇒ f'(x)–2xf(x)=–1x2

IF=e∫–2xdx=e–2 ln x=1x2

∴  f(x)1x2=∫–1x2·1x2dx+C ⇒ f(x)1x2=13x3+C

Now, f(1) = 1

⇒ 23=C ⇒ f(x)=13x+2x23

Now, 2f(2)+3f(3)=2[16+83]+3[19+183]

=13+163+13+18=6+18=24.
