Q.

Let f:R→R be a thrice differentiable odd function satisfying f'(x)≥0, f''(x)=f(x), f(0)=0, f'(0)=3. Then 9f(loge3) is equal to _________.          [2025]


Ans.

(36)

Since, f(x) is a thrice differentiable odd function,

f''(x)=f(x) ⇒ f'(x)·f''(x)=f'(x)·f(x)

⇒  (f'(x))22=(f(x))22+C ⇒ (f'(x))2=(f(x))2+C'

∵  (f'(x))2=(f(x))2+9          [∵ f'(0)=3, f(0)=0]

y=f(x) ⇒ dydx=f'(x)=(f(x))2+9

=∫dx ⇒ log|y+y2+9|=x+C

⇒ f(0)=0 ⇒ C=log 3 ⇒ y+y2+9=3ex

At x = log 3; y = 4

∴  9f(loge3)=36
