We need to evaluate
I=∫017[x1]1dx.
-
Since x∈(0,1], we have x1∈[1,∞). The value of [x1] stays constant on intervals where
n≤x1<n+1,
for integers n≥1.
This is equivalent to
n+11<x≤n1.
Hence, on the interval
(n+11,n1],
we have
[x1]=n.
-
Therefore, split the integral as a sum:
I=∑n=1∞∫1/(n+1)1/n7n1dx.
Since 7n1 is constant on each interval,
I=∑n=1∞7n1(n1−n+11).
Now,
n1−n+11=n(n+1)1.
So,
I=∑n=1∞7nn(n+1)1.
-
Use the identity
n(n+1)1=n1−n+11.
Thus,
=n=1∑∞n7n1−n=1∑∞(n+1)7n1.
Let
S1=∑n=1∞n7n1.
Using the standard series
∑n=1∞nrn=−ln(1−r),∣r∣<1,
with r=71, we get
S1=−ln(1−71)=−ln(76)=ln(67).
- Now compute
S2=∑n=1∞(n+1)7n1.
Let m=n+1. Then n=m−1, so
=7m=2∑∞m7m1.
Hence,
=7(S1−71)=7S1−1.
- Therefore,
I=S1−S2=S1−(7S1−1)=1−6S1.
Substitute S1=ln(67)=−ln(76):
=1+6\ln\left(\frac67\right).$$
7. So the value of the integral is
$$\boxed{1+6\ln\left(\frac67\right)}.$$
8. Checking options:
- **A:** $1+6\log_e\left(\frac67\right)$ ✅
- **B:** $1-6\log_e\left(\frac67\right)$ ❌
- **C:** $\log_e\left(\frac76\right)$ ❌
- **D:** $1-7\log_e\left(\frac67\right)$ ❌
Hence, the correct option is **A**.
