Q.

Let {x} denote the fractional part of x and f(x)=cos-1(1-{x}2)sin-1(1-{x}){x}-{x}3,  x0.

If L and R respectively denotes the left hand limit and the right hand limit of f(x) at x=0, then 32π2(L2+R2) is equal to _____.           [2024]

 We have, f(x)=cos-1(1-{x}2)sin-1(1-{x}){x}-{x}3

R=limh0+f(x)=limh0f(0+h)

      =limh0+f(h)=limh0cos-1(1-h2)h(sin-111)

Put cos-1(1-h2)=θcosθ=1-h2

=π2limθ0θ1-cosθ=π2limθ011-cosθθ2=π211/2=π2

Also, L=limx0-f(x)=limh0f(-h)

=limh0cos-1(1-{-h}2)sin-1(1-{-h}){-h}-{-h}3

=limh0cos-1(1-(-h+1)2)sin-1(1-(-h+1))(-h+1)-(-h+1)3

=limh0cos-1(-h2+2h)sin-1h(1-h)(1-(1-h)2)

=limh0(π2)sin-1h(1-(1-h)2)=π2limh0(sin-1h-h2+2h)

=π2limh0(sin-1hh)(1-h+2)=π4

    32π2(L2+R2)=32π2(π22+π216)=16+2=18
