For any real number x, let [x] denote the largest integer less than equal to x. Let f be a real-valued function defined on the interval [–10, 10] by \(f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} x=[x] & if \,[x]\, is \,odd\\ 1+[x]-x\,& if\,[x] \,is\,even \end{matrix}\right.\), if [x] is even, the value of \(\frac{\pi^2}{10}\int_{-10}^{10}f(x)cos\pi x dx\) is
- 4
- 2
- 1
- 0
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
\(f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} x=[x] & if \,[x]\, is \,odd\\ 1+[x]-x\,& if\,[x] \,is\,even \end{matrix}\right.\)

So,
\(\frac{\pi^2}{10}\int_{-10}^{10}f(x)cos\pi x dx\)=\(\frac{\pi^2}{10}\)⋅20\(\int_{0}^{1}\)f(x)cosπx dx
=2\(\pi^2\)\(\int_{0}^{1}\)(1−x)cosπx dx
=2\(\pi^2\){(1−x)\(\frac{sinπx}{x}\)|01−\(\frac{cosπx}{\pi^2}\)|01}=4

- Let \(f: R \to (0, \infty)\) be a twice differentiable function such that \(f(3) = 18\), \(f'(3)=0\) and \(f''(3) = 4\). Then \(\lim_{x \to 1} \log_e \left[ \frac{f(2+x)}{f(3)} \right]^{\frac{18}{(x-1)^2}}\) is equal to:
- Let \( f(x) = \int \frac{(2 - x^2) \cdot e^x{(\sqrt{1 + x})(1 - x)^{3/2}} dx \). If \( f(0) = 0 \), then \( f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \) is equal to :}
- The value of \[ \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\log_e\!\big(\sec(ex)\cdot \sec(e^2x)\cdots \sec(e^{10}x)\big)} {e^2-e^{2\cos x}} \] is equal to:
- If the function \[ f(x)=\frac{e^x\left(e^{\tan x - x}-1\right)+\log_e(\sec x+\tan x)-x}{\tan x-x} \] is continuous at $x=0$, then the value of $f(0)$ is equal to
- If \[ \lim_{x\to 0} \frac{e^{(a-1)x}+2\cos bx+(c-2)e^{-x}} {x\cos x-\log_e(1+x)} =2, \] then \(a^2+b^2+c^2\) is equal to

Limits
A function's limit is a number that a function reaches when its independent variable comes to a certain value. The value (say a) to which the function f(x) approaches casually as the independent variable x approaches casually a given value "A" denoted as f(x) = A.
If limx→a- f(x) is the expected value of f when x = a, given the values of ‘f’ near x to the left of ‘a’. This value is also called the left-hand limit of ‘f’ at a.
If limx→a+ f(x) is the expected value of f when x = a, given the values of ‘f’ near x to the right of ‘a’. This value is also called the right-hand limit of f(x) at a.
If the right-hand and left-hand limits concur, then it is referred to as a common value as the limit of f(x) at x = a and denote it by lim x→a f(x).
