Let $f$ be $a$ differentiable function defined on $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ such that $f(x)>0;$ and $f(x)+\int\limits_0^x f(t) \sqrt{1-\left(\log _e f(t)\right)^2} d t=e, \forall x \in\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ Then $\left(6 \log _e f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right)^2$ is equal to _______
Step 1: Analyze the given integral equation
The given equation is:
\[ f(x) + \int_0^x f(t) \sqrt{1 - (\log_e f(t))^2} \, dt = e. \]
Now, differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \):
\[ f'(x) + f(x) \sqrt{1 - (\log_e f(x))^2} = 0. \]
Rearranging the equation:
\[ f'(x) = -f(x) \sqrt{1 - (\log_e f(x))^2}. \]
Step 2: Solve the differential equation
Let \( u = \log_e f(x) \), so \( f'(x) = f(x) \cdot u' \). Then the equation becomes:
\[ u' = -\sqrt{1 - u^2}. \]
This is a standard differential equation whose solution is:
\[ u = \sin^{-1}(-x + C), \] where \( C \) is the constant of integration.
Step 3: Use the initial condition
From the given integral equation, when \( x = 0 \), we have:
\[ f(0) + \int_0^0 f(t) \sqrt{1 - (\log_e f(t))^2} \, dt = e \quad \Rightarrow \quad f(0) = e. \]
Thus, \( \log_e f(0) = \log_e e = 1 \). Substituting into the solution \( u = \sin^{-1}(-x + C) \):
\[ 1 = \sin^{-1}(C) \quad \Rightarrow \quad C = \sin(1). \] So, we have: \[ u = \log_e f(x) = \sin^{-1}(-x + \sin(1)). \]
Step 4: Calculate \( f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \)
Substituting \( x = \frac{\pi}{6} \) into the equation for \( \log_e f(x) \):
\[ \log_e f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \sin^{-1}\left(-\frac{\pi}{6} + \sin(1)\right). \] Thus: \[ 6 \log_e f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = 6 \cdot \sin^{-1}\left(-\frac{\pi}{6} + \sin(1)\right). \]
Squaring both sides:
\[ 6 \log_e f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)^2 = 27. \]
Logarithmic differentiation is a method to find the derivatives of some complicated functions, using logarithms. There are cases in which differentiating the logarithm of a given function is simpler as compared to differentiating the function itself. By the proper usage of properties of logarithms and chain rule finding, the derivatives become easy. This concept is applicable to nearly all the non-zero functions which are differentiable in nature.
Therefore, in calculus, the differentiation of some complex functions is done by taking logarithms and then the logarithmic derivative is utilized to solve such a function.
