Q.

Let f(x)+2f(1x)=x2+5 and 2g(x)–3g(12)=x, x > 0. If α=∫12f(x)dx, and β=∫12g(x)dx, then the value of 9α+β is :          [2025]

1 0  
2 11  
3 10  
4 1  

Ans.

(2)

We have, f(x)+2f(1x)=x2+5          ... (i)

⇒ f(1x)+2f(x)=1x2+5          ... (ii)

On solving (i) and (ii), we get

f(x)=23x2–x23+53

So, α=∫12f(x)dx=∫12(23x2–x23+53)dx

=(–23x–x39+5x3)12=63–79=119

Also, we have 2g(x)–3g(12)=x

⇒ 2g(12)–3g(12)=12 ⇒ g(12)=–12

so, g(x)=x2–34

β=∫12g(x)dx=∫12(x2–34)dx

=(x24–3x4)12=34–34=0

∴  9α+β=9(119)+0=11.
