JEE Main 2024 — 31 January, Shift 2 — Question 5

Let f,g:(0,∞)→R\mathrm{f}, \mathrm{g}:(0, \infty) \rightarrow \mathrm{R} be two functions defined by

f(x)=∫−xx(∣t∣−t2)e−t2dtf(x)=\int_{-x}^{x}\left(|t|-t^{2}\right) e^{-t^{2}} d t and g(x)=∫0x2t1/2e−tdtg(x)=\int_{0}^{x^{2}} t^{1 / 2} e^{-t} d t.

Then the value of (f(log⁡e9)+g(log⁡e9))\left(f\left(\sqrt{\log _{e} 9}\right)+g\left(\sqrt{\log _{e} 9}\right)\right) is equal to

  1. Option A:

    6

  2. Option B:

    9

  3. Option C:

    8

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    10

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

f(x)=∫−xx(∣t∣−t2)e−t2dtf(x)=\int_{-x}^{x}\left(|t|-t^{2}\right) e^{-t^{2}} d t

⇒f′(x)=2⋅(∣x∣−x2)e−x2\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=2 \cdot\left(|x|-x^{2}\right) e^{-x^{2}}

g(x)=∫0x2t12e−tdtg(\mathrm{x})=\int_{0}^{\mathrm{x}^{2}} \mathrm{t}^{\frac{1}{2}} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{dt}

g′(x)=xe−x2(2x)−0g^{\prime}(x)=x e^{-x^{2}}(2 x)-0

f′(x)+g′(x)=2xe−x2−2x2e−x2+2x2e−x2f^{\prime}(x)+g^{\prime}(x)=2 x e^{-x^{2}}-2 x^{2} e^{-x^{2}}+2 x^{2} e^{-x^{2}}

Integrating both sides w.r.t.x

f(x)+g(x)=∫0α2xe−x2dxf(x)+g(x)=\int_{0}^{\alpha} 2 x e^{-x^{2}} d x

x2=t\mathrm{x}^{2}=\mathrm{t}

⇒∫0αe−tdt=[−e−t]0α\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{\sqrt{\alpha}} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{dt}=\left[-\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{t}}\right]_{0}^{\sqrt{\alpha}} =−e(log⁡e(9)−1)+1=-\mathrm{e}^{\left(\log _{e}(9)^{-1}\right)+1}

⇒9(f(x)+g(x))=(1−19)9=8\Rightarrow 9(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x}))=\left(1-\frac{1}{9}\right) 9=8
