- Given data
We have
f′(x)=2+sin4(πx)192x3
for all real x, and
f(21)=0.
We need bounds for
I=∫1/21f(x)dx.
- Bound f′(x)
Since
0≤sin4(πx)≤1,
we get
Therefore,
3192x3≤f′(x)≤2192x3
that is,
64x3≤f′(x)≤96x3.
- Integrate to bound f(x)
Using f(1/2)=0, for x∈[1/2,1],
f(x)=∫1/2xf′(t)dt.
Hence,
∫1/2x64t3dt≤f(x)≤∫1/2x96t3dt.
Now,
∫64t3dt=16t4,
so
∫1/2x64t3dt=16(x4−(21)4)=16x4−1.
Similarly,
∫1/2x96t3dt=24(x4−(21)4)=24x4−23.
Thus,
16x4−1≤f(x)≤24x4−23.
- Integrate from 1/2 to 1
So,
∫1/21(16x4−1)dx≤∫1/21f(x)dx≤∫1/21(24x4−23)dx.
Lower bound
∫1/21(16x4−1)dx=16∫1/21x4dx−∫1/211dx.
Now,
∫1/21x4dx=[5x5]1/21=51(1−321)=51⋅3231=16031.
Therefore,
16⋅16031−21=1031−21=1031−5=1026=513.
Upper bound
∫1/21(24x4−23)dx=24∫1/21x4dx−23⋅21.
So,
24⋅16031−43=2093−43=60279−45=60234=1039.
Hence,
513≤∫1/21f(x)dx≤1039.
So any valid pair (m,M) must satisfy
m≤513,M≥1039.
- Check options
We need an option whose stated interval contains all possible values of the integral.
-
A: m=13,M=24 means
13≤I≤24,
which is impossible since actually I≤3.9.
So A is false.
-
B: m=41,M=21 means
41≤I≤21,
but actually I≥2.6.
So B is false.
-
C: m=−11,M=0 means
−11≤I≤0,
but I>0.
So C is false.
-
D: m=1,M=12 means
1≤I≤12,
and this is certainly true because
513=2.6≥1,1039=3.9≤12.
So D is true.
Thus the correct option is D.
