- Given integral
We need to evaluate
I=∫05ex−[x]x+[x]dx.
Since [x] is the greatest integer function, on each interval [n,n+1) we have
[x]=n,x=n+t(0≤t<1).
Then
x−[x]=t,x+[x]=(n+t)+n=2n+t.
So the integral breaks as
I=∑n=04∫nn+1ex−nx+ndx.
Using x=n+t, dx=dt:
I=∑n=04∫01(2n+t)e−tdt.
- Separate the sum
I=∑n=04(2n∫01e−tdt+∫01te−tdt).
Now,
∫01e−tdt=[−e−t]01=1−e−1.
Also,
∫01te−tdt
by integration by parts:
Take
u=t,dv=e−tdt⇒du=dt,v=−e−t.
Then
∫te−tdt=−te−t+∫e−t(−1)dt=−(t+1)e−t.
Hence
∫01te−tdt=[−(t+1)e−t]01=1−e2=1−2e−1.
- Compute the sum
Since
∑n=042n=2(0+1+2+3+4)=2⋅10=20,
and there are 5 identical ∫01te−tdt terms,
I=20(1−e−1)+5(1−2e−1).
So,
I=20−20e−1+5−10e−1=25−30e−1.
Thus in the form
I=αe−1+β,
we get
α=−30,β=25.
- Check the given relation
5α+6β=5(−30)+6(25)=−150+150=0,
which is satisfied.
- Find (α+β)2
α+β=−30+25=−5.
Therefore,
(α+β)2=(−5)2=25.
- Option check
The correct option is:
25
which is Option B.
