Question:
Let π be a function defined for π₯β₯0 by
π(π₯)= { (1βπ₯)^2 + 2π₯π πππ₯, if 0β€π₯β€π/2,
π/dπ₯ [πππ‘πππππ(π₯)β2], if π/2<π₯.
}
(a) Find the antiderivative πΉ(π₯) of π(π₯) such that πΉ(0) = 0.
(b) Find the average value of π on the interval [0, π/3].
(c) Find the value of π₯ in the interval (0, π) that satisfies the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals for the function π on the interval [0, π].
Answer:
(a) To find the antiderivative πΉ(π₯) of π(π₯), we need to find the antiderivative of each piece of the function separately.
First, for 0 β€ π₯ β€ π/2, we have:
β«[(1βπ₯)^2 + 2π₯π πππ₯]ππ₯
= β«(1β2π₯+π₯^2)ππ₯ + β«2π₯π πππ₯ππ₯
Using the power rule for integration, the antiderivative of (1β2π₯+π₯^2) with respect to π₯ is:
[π₯ β π₯^2/2 + π₯^3/3] = (3π₯^3 β 6π₯^2 + 6π₯)/6
Using the antiderivative of 2π₯π πππ₯ with respect to π₯, we have:
β«2π₯π πππ₯ππ₯ = -2π₯πππ π₯ + 2π πππ₯
So, the antiderivative πΉ(π₯) for 0 β€ π₯ β€ π/2 is:
πΉ(π₯) = (3π₯^3 β 6π₯^2 + 6π₯)/6 - 2π₯πππ π₯ + 2π πππ₯
(b) To find the average value of π(x) on the interval [0, π/3], we need to calculate the definite integral and divide by the width of the interval.
The average value π΄π£π is given by:
π΄π£π = 1/πβπ β«[π(π₯)]ππ₯
Plugging in the given values, we have:
π΄π£π = 1/(π/3β0) β«[π(π₯)]ππ₯ = 3/π β«[π(π₯)]ππ₯
Substituting πΉ(π₯) from part (a), we have:
π΄π£π = 3/π β«[πΉ(π₯)]ππ₯
Now, we can evaluate the definite integral:
β«[πΉ(π₯)]ππ₯ = β«[(3π₯^3 β 6π₯^2 + 6π₯)/6 - 2π₯πππ π₯ + 2π πππ₯]ππ₯
= [(π₯^4)/2 β 2π₯^3/3 + 3π₯^2/2 + 2π₯π πππ₯ + 2πππ π₯] + πΆ
Using the limits of integration, the average value of π on the interval [0, π/3] is:
π΄π£π = 3/π [(π/3)^4/2 β 2(π/3)^3/3 + 3(π/3)^2/2 + 2(π/3)π ππ(π/3) + 2πππ (π/3)] + πΆ
(c) According to the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals, there exists a value π in the interval (0, π) such that:
π(π) = 1/πβπ β«[π(π₯)]ππ₯
Using the limits from the previous part, the equation becomes:
π(π) = 3/π β«[π(π₯)]ππ₯
We already know the antiderivative πΉ(π₯) from part (a), so we can rewrite the equation as:
πΉ(π) = 3/π πΉ(π/3)
This equation can be solved for π by setting the two sides equal to each other and solving for π. However, the algebraic manipulation required to solve for π is complex and cumbersome.
