The estimate of $\int\limits_{0.5}^{1.5} \frac{dx}{x}$ obtained using Simpson’s rule with three point function evaluation exceeds the exact value by

  1. 0.235

  2. 0.068

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Simpson's rule for 1/x from 0.5 to 1.5 with three points (h=0.5): x=0.5, 1.0, 1.5. Integral = (h/3) * (f(0.5) + 4f(1.0) + f(1.5)) = (0.5/3) * (2 + 4 + 0.666) = 0.1666 * 6.666 = 1.111. Exact value = ln(1.5) - ln(0.5) = ln(3) = 1.0986. Difference = 1.111 - 1.0986 = 0.0124.

If $z \neq 0$, then $ \overset{100}{\underset{0}{\int}}arg(-|z|)dx =$

  1. $0$

  2. Not defined
  3. $100$
  4. $100\pi$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

For any non-zero complex number z, -|z| is a negative real number. The argument of any negative real number is pi. Therefore, arg(-|z|) = pi. Integrating this constant function with respect to x from 0 to 100 gives the integral of pi dx from 0 to 100, which evaluates to pi * (100 - 0) = 100pi.

The value of $\displaystyle \int _0^1\tan^{-1}\left (\frac {2x-1}{1+x-x^2}\right )dx$ is

  1. $1$
  2. $0$
  3. $-1$
  4. $\dfrac {\pi}{4}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Let $I=\int _0^1\tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac {2x-1}{1+x-x^2}\right )dx$
$\Rightarrow I=\int _0^1 \tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac {x-(1-x)}{1+x(1-x)}\right )dx$
$\Rightarrow I=\int _0^1[\tan^{-1}x-\tan^{-1}(1-x)]dx$ ................ (1)
$\Rightarrow I=\int _0^1[\tan^{-1}(1-x)-\tan^{-1}(1-1+x)]dx$
$\Rightarrow I=\int _0^1[\tan^{-1}(1-x)-\tan^{-1}(x)]dx$
$\Rightarrow I=\int _0^1[\tan^{-1}(1-x)-\tan^{-1}(x)]dx$ ........... (2)
Adding (1) and (2), we obtain
$2I=\int _0^1(\tan^{-1}x+\tan^{-1}(1-x)-\tan^{-1}(1-x)-\tan^{-1}x)dx=0$
$\Rightarrow I=0$
Hence, the correct Answer is B.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The integral is the sum of integrals from n to n+1. For x in [tan(n), tan(n+1)], [tan^-1(x)] = n. The sum is 0*integral(0 to tan(1)) + 1*integral(tan(1) to tan(2)) + ... + 99*integral(tan(99) to tan(100)). This simplifies to 100 - tan(1).

  1. 0
  2. $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$
  3. $\pi$
  4. $2\pi$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
$\displaystyle = \int _{0}^{\dfrac{\pi}{2}} \dfrac{\sin 5x}{\sin x} dx$
We are going to use a important property if.
$\displaystyle \int _{0}^{\dfrac{\pi}{2}} \dfrac{\sin nx}{\sin x} = \begin{cases} \dfrac{\pi}{2} & ,\ if\ n\ is\ odd \\ o & ,\ if\ is\ even \end{cases}$
So, less $n=s (odd)$
$\displaystyle \int _{0}^{\dfrac{\pi}{2}} \dfrac{\sin 5x}{\sin x} =\dfrac{\pi}{2}$

C Correct answer
Explanation
$f\left(x\right)=\sin{x}{\cos}^{4}{x},$

$f\left(-x\right)=\sin{\left(-x\right)}{\cos}^{4}{\left(-x\right)}=-f\left(x\right)$

Since $f\left(x\right)$ is an odd function, $\displaystyle\int _{-1}^{1}\sin{x}{\cos}^{4}{x}dx=0$

The value of $\displaystyle \int _{0}^{2}(x-\log _{2}a)dx=2\log _{2}(\frac{2}{a})$ for which of the following conditions?

  1. $\mathrm{a}>0$
  2. $\mathrm{a}>2$
  3. $\mathrm{a}=4$
  4. $\mathrm{a}=8$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$\int _{ 0 }^{ 2 }{ (x-\log _{ 2 }a } )dx=2\log _{ 2 }(\cfrac { 2 }{ a } )$

The solution exists only if function is defined.
$ x-\log _{ 2 }a\longrightarrow$ defined
$ x\longrightarrow$ is defined for all values 
But $\log _{ 2 }a\longrightarrow$ defined for all values
But $ \log _{ 2 }a\longrightarrow$ defined for only a>0$
$\therefore \log (0)$ and $\log \text {(negative values)} )\longrightarrow$ not defined
Hence, required condition is $a>0$.
