# Q1 of 51

Let f : [1, ∞) -> R be a differentiable function such that f(1)=13 and 3∫1xf(t)dt=xf(x)x33,

for x ∈ [1, ∞). Let e denote the base of the natural logarithm. Then the value of f(e) is:

Options
A.

e2+43

B.

loge4+e3

C.

4e23

D.

e243

Show Answer
Correct Answer

4e23

Solution

Step 1: Rewrite the given equation. Using Newton-Leibniz theorem, we start with:

3f(x)=xf(x)+f(x)x2.

Step 2: Simplify and rewrite as a differential equation. Rearranging terms:

f(x)+1xf(x)=x.

This is a first-order linear differential equation.

Step 3: Determine the integrating factor (I.F.). The integrating factor is:

I.F. = e1xdx=elogx=x.

Step 4: Solve the differential equation. Multiply through by the integrating factor x:

xf(x)+f(x)=x2.

This simplifies to:

ddx(xf(x))=x2.

Integrating both sides:

xf(x)=x2dx=x33+c,

where c is the constant of integration.

Divide through by x:

f(x)=x23+cx.

Step 5: Apply the initial condition f(1) = 1/3. Substitute x = 1 and f(1) = 1/3:

f(1)=123+c1=13.

Simplify:

1/3 + c = 1/3 ⇒ c = 0.

Thus, the solution becomes:

f(x)=x23.

Step 6: Evaluate f(e). Substitute x = 4e into f(x):

f(e)=4e23.

Final Answer:

f(e)=4e23.

Quick Tip
For first-order linear differential equations, always compute the integrating factor and multiply through before solving.
