The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

For x≤0 
f(x)=0∫2​et−xdt=e−x(e2−1) 
For 0<x<2 
f(x)=0∫x​ex−tdt+∫x2​et−xdt=ex+e2−x−2 
For x≥2 
f(x)=0∫2​ex−tdt=ex−2(e2−1) 
For x≤0,f(x) is ↓ and x≥2,f(x) is ↑ 
∴ Minimum value of f(x) lies in x∈(0,2) 
Applying A.M≥G.M, 
minimum value of f(x) is 2(e−1)

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.
