The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

\(5f(x)+4f(\frac{1}{x})=\frac{1}{x}+3......(i)\)
Replace \(x\rightarrow \frac{1}{x}\)
\(5f(\frac{1}{x})+4f(x)=x+3.....(ii)\)
By (i) and (ii)
\(9f(x)=\frac{5}{x}-4x+3\)
\(18\int_{1}^{2}f(x)dx=\int_{1}^{2}(\frac{10}{x}-8x+6)dx\)
\(18\int_{1}^{2}f(x)dx = \) 10 ln 2 - 6

So, the correct option is (C): 10 \(l\)n 2 - 6

Applications of Integrals

There are distinct applications of integrals, out of which some are as follows:

In Maths

Integrals are used to find:

  • The center of mass (centroid) of an area having curved sides
  • The area between two curves and the area under a curve
  • The curve's average value

In Physics

Integrals are used to find:

  • Centre of gravity
  • Mass and momentum of inertia of vehicles, satellites, and a tower
  • The center of mass
  • The velocity and the trajectory of a satellite at the time of placing it in orbit
  • Thrust
