Q.

Let I(x)=∫dx(x–11)1113(x+15)1513. If I(37)–I(24)=14(1b113–1c113), b, c∈N, then 3(b + c) is equal to          [2025]

4 26  

Ans.

(1)

Given, I(x)=∫dx(x–11)11/13(x+15)15/13

Let x–11x+15=t ⇒ 26dx(x+15)2=dt

∴  I(x)=126∫dt(t)11/13

                  =126×t2/13213+C

                   =14t2/13+C

∴  I(x)=14(x–11x+15)2/13+C

∴  I(37)–I(24)=14[(12)2/13–(13)2/13]

14(1b1/13–1c1/13)=14(1(4)1/13–191/13)

∴   b = 4 and c = 9

∴   3(b + c) = 3(4 + 9) = 39.
