Question:

if $\int\limits_{a}^{b} \frac{x^{n}}{x^{n} + \left(16 - x\right)^{n}} dx = 6$, then

Updated On: Jul 6, 2022
  • $a = 4, b = 12, n\in R$
  • $a = 2, b = 14, n\in R$
  • $a = -4, b = 20, n\in R$
  • $a = 2, b = 8, n\in R$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\int\limits_{a}^{b} \frac{x^{n}}{x^{n} + \left(16 - x\right)^{n}} dx = 6\quad....\left(i\right)$ Let $a + b = 16$, then by property $ \int\limits_{a}^{b} \frac{\left(16-x\right)^{n}}{\left(16-x\right)^{n }+ x^{n}} dx = 6\quad....\left(ii\right) $ Adding$ \left(i\right)\,\,$ and $\,\left(ii\right)$, we get $\int\limits_{a}^{b} 1\cdot dx = 12$ $\Rightarrow b - a = 12 $ Solving $a + b = 16$ and $b- a = 12$, we get $a = 2, b = 14 $ and $n\in R $

Integral

The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.

  • The definite integral of a function can be shown as the area of the region bounded by its graph of the given function between two points in the line.
  • The area of a region is found by splitting it into thin vertical rectangles and applying the lower and the upper limits, the area of the region is summarized.
  • An integral of a function over an interval on which the integral is described.

Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.

F'(x) = f(x)

For every value of x = I.

Types of Integrals:

Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:

  1. The problem of getting a function if its derivative is given.
  2. The problem of getting the area bounded by the graph of a function under given situations.
