Correct answer: 21
Step-by-step Solution:
Analyze the Integral and Apply Substitution
The given integral is:
α=21∫22x2−3x+2tan−1xdx…(1)
The limits of integration are 1/2 and 2, which are reciprocals of each other. This suggests using the substitution x=1/t.
If x=1/t, then dx=−1/t2dt.
The limits of integration transform as follows:
When x=1/2, t=2.
When x=2, t=1/2.
Substituting into the integral:
α=∫21/22(1/t)2−3(1/t)+2tan−1(1/t)(−t21)dt
Simplify the denominator:
2(1/t)2−3(1/t)+2=t22−3t+2t2
Now, substitute this back into the integral expression:
α=∫21/2t22t2−3t+2tan−1(1/t)(−t21)dt=∫21/22t2−3t+2−tan−1(1/t)dt
Using the property ∫abf(x)dx=−∫baf(x)dx, we can flip the limits:
α=∫1/222t2−3t+2tan−1(1/t)dt
For t>0, we have the identity tan−1(1/t)=2π−tan−1(t). Since the integration is over [1/2,2], t is positive.
α=∫1/222t2−3t+22π−tan−1(t)dt
Since the variable of integration is a dummy variable, we can replace t with x:
α=∫1/222x2−3x+22π−tan−1(x)dx…(2)
Combine the Expressions for α
Add equation (1) and equation (2):
α+α=∫1/222x2−3x+2tan−1xdx+∫1/222x2−3x+22π−tan−1(x)dx2α=∫1/222x2−3x+2tan−1x+2π−tan−1(x)dx2α=∫1/222x2−3x+22πdx=2π∫1/222x2−3x+21dx
Evaluate the Simplified Integral
Let's evaluate the integral I=∫1/222x2−3x+21dx. We complete the square for the denominator:
2x2−3x+2=2(x2−23x+1)=2((x−43)2−169+1)=2((x−43)2+167)
The integral becomes:
I=∫1/222((x−43)2+(47)2)1dx=21∫1/22(x−43)2+(47)21dx
This is a standard integral of the form ∫u2+a21du=a1tan−1(au).
I=21[471tan−1(47x−43)]1/22=21⋅74[tan−1(74x−3)]1/22I=72[tan−1(74(2)−3)−tan−1(74(1/2)−3)]I=72[tan−1(75)−tan−1(7−1)]=72[tan−1(75)+tan−1(71)]
Using the identity tan−1A+tan−1B=tan−1(1−ABA+B) (since AB=75<1):
I=72tan−1(1−75⋅7175+71)=72tan−1(1−7576)=72tan−1(7276)I=72tan−1(76⋅27)=72tan−1(37)
Find the Value of α
Substitute the value of I back into the expression for 2α:
2α=2πI=2π⋅72tan−1(37)=7πtan−1(37)
Calculate the Final Expression
We need to find the value of 7tan(π2α7).
From the expression for 2α, we can find the argument of the tangent function:
π2α7=π7(7πtan−1(37))=tan−1(37)
Now, substitute this into the final expression:
7tan(π2α7)=7tan(tan−1(37))
Using the property tan(tan−1(y))=y:
=7⋅(37)=3⋅(7)2=3⋅7=21
