View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- We need to evaluate where denotes the greatest integer function.
So first define We must find the interval-wise value of .
- Simplify the absolute value expression.
Factor: Its roots are
Now on :
- for , and , so product is positive,
- for , product is negative.
Hence
\begin{cases} 3x^2-5x+2, & 0\le x\le \frac23,\\[4pt] -(3x^2-5x+2)=-3x^2+5x-2, & \frac23\le x\le 1. \end{cases}$$ Therefore $$f(x)=2x-|3x^2-5x+2|+1= \begin{cases} 2x-(3x^2-5x+2)+1=-3x^2+7x-1, & 0\le x\le \frac23,\\[4pt] 2x-(-3x^2+5x-2)+1=3x^2-3x+3, & \frac23\le x\le 1. \end{cases}$$ --- 3. Determine possible integer values of $[f(x)]$. For $0\le x\le \frac23$, $$f_1(x)=-3x^2+7x-1.$$ We check where it crosses integers. Since $$f_1(0)=-1,\qquad f_1\left(\frac23\right)=-3\cdot\frac49+7\cdot\frac23-1=\frac73,$$ we expect values of the floor function to be $-1,0,1,2$. Solve successively: ### (i) $f_1(x)=0$ $$-3x^2+7x-1=0\iff 3x^2-7x+1=0.$$ Thus $$x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-12}}{6}=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{37}}{6}.$$ Only the smaller root lies in $[0,1]$: $$\alpha=\frac{7-\sqrt{37}}{6}.$$ So on $[0,\alpha)$, $f_1(x)<0$, hence $[f(x)]=-1$. ### (ii) $f_1(x)=1$ $$-3x^2+7x-1=1\iff 3x^2-7x+2=0.$$ Thus $$x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-24}}{6}=\frac{7\pm5}{6}.$$ Relevant root: $$x=\frac13.$$ So on $[\alpha,\frac13)$, $0\le f_1(x)<1$, hence $[f(x)]=0$. ### (iii) $f_1(x)=2$ $$-3x^2+7x-1=2\iff 3x^2-7x+3=0.$$ Thus $$x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-36}}{6}=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{13}}{6}.$$ In $[0,\frac23]$, only $$\beta=\frac{7-\sqrt{13}}{6}$$ lies in the interval. So on $\left[\frac13,\beta\right)$, $1\le f_1(x)<2$, hence $[f(x)]=1$. And on $\left[\beta,\frac23\right]$, $2\le f_1(x)\le \frac73$, hence $[f(x)]=2$. --- 4. For $\frac23\le x\le 1$, $$f_2(x)=3x^2-3x+3.$$ Now $$f_2\left(\frac23\right)=\frac73,\qquad f_2(1)=3.$$ Also $$f_2(x)-2=3x^2-3x+1.$$ Its discriminant is $$(-3)^2-4\cdot 3\cdot 1=9-12=-3<0,$$ so $f_2(x)>2$ for all $x$. Further, for $x<1$, we have $f_2(x)<3$, and at $x=1$, $f_2(1)=3$. Thus on $\left[\frac23,1\right)$, $$[f(x)]=2,$$ and the single point $x=1$ does not affect the integral. So effectively, $[f(x)]=2$ on $\left[\beta,1\right]$. --- 5. Hence the floor function is $$[f(x)]= \begin{cases} -1, & 0\le x<\alpha,\\ 0, & \alpha\le x<\frac13,\\ 1, & \frac13\le x<\beta,\\ 2, & \beta\le x\le 1, \end{cases}$$ where $$\alpha=\frac{7-\sqrt{37}}{6},\qquad \beta=\frac{7-\sqrt{13}}{6}.$$ Therefore $$I=\int_0^{\alpha}(-1)dx+\int_{\alpha}^{1/3}0\,dx+\int_{1/3}^{\beta}1\,dx+\int_{\beta}^{1}2\,dx.$$ So $$I=-\alpha+\left(\beta-\frac13\right)+2(1-\beta).$$ Simplify: $$I=-\alpha+\beta-\frac13+2-2\beta =\frac53-\alpha-\beta.$$ Substitute $\alpha,\beta$: $$I=\frac53-\frac{7-\sqrt{37}}{6}-\frac{7-\sqrt{13}}{6}.$$ $$I=\frac{10-(14-\sqrt{37}-\sqrt{13})}{6} =\frac{\sqrt{37}+\sqrt{13}-4}{6}.$$ --- 6. Compare with the options: $$I=\frac{\sqrt{37}+\sqrt{13}-4}{6}.$$ This matches **Option A**. --- 7.
