The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $f(x)=\int\limits_{0}^{x} f(t) d t$ ...(i)
Using Leibnitz theorem, we get
$f'(x)=f(x) \Rightarrow f(x)=k e^{x}$
On putting $x=0$ in E (i), we get
$f(0)=\int\limits_{0}^{0} f(t) d t$
$\Rightarrow k \theta^{0} =0$
$\left[\because \int\limits_{a}^{a} f(x) d x=0\right]$
$\Rightarrow k=0 \left[\because e^{0}=1\right]$
$\therefore f(x)=0$
$\Rightarrow f\left(\log _{e} 5\right)=0$

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
