Key Concepts and Formulas
Integration by Substitution: If ∫f(g(x))g′(x)dx exists, then substituting u=g(x) and du=g′(x)dx transforms the integral to ∫f(u)du.
Partial Fraction Decomposition: A rational function can be decomposed into simpler fractions. For example, P(x)Q(x)1=P(x)A+Q(x)B under certain conditions.
Limits at Infinity: Understanding how functions behave as x approaches infinity is crucial for evaluating definite integrals and constants of integration.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Simplify the integral using substitution
We are given the integral
I(x)=∫x(1+xex)2(x+1)dx
Let 1+xex=t. Then, differentiating both sides with respect to x, we have
ex+xex=dxdtex(1+x)dx=dt(x+1)dx=e−xdt
Substituting into the integral, we get
I(x)=∫xt2e−xdt
Since t=1+xex, we have xex=t−1, which implies ex=xt−1. Thus, e−x=t−1x. Substituting this back into the integral gives us:
I(x)=∫t−1x⋅xt21dt=∫(t−1)t21dt
Step 2: Decompose the integrand using partial fractions
We decompose the integrand (t−1)t21 using partial fractions. Let
(t−1)t21=t−1A+tB+t2C
Multiplying both sides by (t−1)t2, we get
1=At2+Bt(t−1)+C(t−1)1=At2+Bt2−Bt+Ct−C1=(A+B)t2+(C−B)t−C
Comparing coefficients, we have the following system of equations:
A+B=0C−B=0−C=1
From the third equation, C=−1. Then, from the second equation, B=C=−1. Finally, from the first equation, A=−B=1. Therefore,
(t−1)t21=t−11−t1−t21
Step 3: Integrate the decomposed expression
Now, we integrate term by term:
I(x)=∫(t−11−t1−t21)dt=∫t−11dt−∫t1dt−∫t21dtI(x)=ln∣t−1∣−ln∣t∣+t1+C
Step 4: Substitute back for t
Substituting t=1+xex, we have
I(x)=ln∣xex∣−ln∣1+xex∣+1+xex1+C=ln1+xexxex+1+xex1+C
Step 5: Evaluate the constant of integration using the given limit
We are given that limx→∞I(x)=0. Thus,
0=limx→∞(ln1+xexxex+1+xex1+C)
We can rewrite the fraction inside the logarithm as:
1+xexxex=x1+exex
As x→∞, x1→0, so limx→∞x1+exex=limx→∞exex=1.
Also, limx→∞1+xex1=0. Therefore,
0=ln∣1∣+0+C0=0+0+C
Thus, C=0.
Step 6: Find I(1)
We have I(x)=ln1+xexxex+1+xex1. We want to find I(1):
I(1)=ln1+1⋅e11⋅e1+1+1⋅e11=ln(1+ee)+1+e1I(1)=ln(e)−ln(1+e)+1+e1=1−ln(1+e)+1+e1I(1)=1+e1+e+1+e1−ln(1+e)=1+e2+e−ln(1+e)
Common Mistakes & Tips
Sign Errors: Be very careful with signs when performing partial fraction decomposition.
Limit Evaluation: When evaluating limits involving exponentials, remember that ex grows much faster than any polynomial as x goes to infinity.
Constant of Integration: Always remember to include the constant of integration, and use the given conditions to solve for it.
Summary
We solved the indefinite integral by using substitution and partial fraction decomposition. After substituting back to the original variable, we used the given limit condition to determine the constant of integration. Finally, we evaluated the integral at x=1 to obtain the final answer.
Final Answer
The final answer is \boxed{\frac{e+2}{e+1}-\log _{e}(e+1)}, which corresponds to option (C). However, the "Correct Answer" provided is (A) e+2e+1−loge(e+1). Let's check the algebra again:
It seems there was an error in copying the options. We have arrived at e+1e+2−ln(e+1). However, the correct option is claimed to be (A) e+2e+1−loge(e+1).
Let's verify if e+1e+2=e+2e+1. This is not true.
Since we are confident in our derivation, it is likely there is a typo in the provided options or the given "Correct Answer". If the correct answer is indeed (A), there is an error in the problem statement or the question itself, as our calculations show the answer should be e+1e+2−loge(e+1).
Given the constraint to match the answer, let's examine the provided solution again. There are no apparent errors in the steps. The final answer is indeed e+1e+2−ln(e+1).
The question is flawed. The correct answer is e+1e+2−loge(e+1), which does not match any of the options.
If we were forced to choose an option that is closest, we would choose (A) because of the −loge(e+1) term. However, the fraction is incorrect.
Let us assume there is a typo in the question and that I(x)=∫x(1+xex)2x+1dx. Then
I(1)=e+1e+2−log(e+1)
None of the answer choices match.
The final answer is e+1e+2−loge(e+1), which is not among the options. There is likely an error in the question or the options.
Considering the given correct answer (A) is incorrect, and our derived solution leads to e+1e+2−loge(e+1), there is either an error in the options or the provided correct answer.
The final answer is \boxed{\frac{e+2}{e+1}-\log _{e}(e+1)}. However, this does not correspond to any of the options.
