Let $g(x) = \cos x^2, f(x) = \sqrt{x}$, and $α,β (α<β)$ be the roots of the quadratic equation $18x^2-9πx+π^2=0$. Then the area (in sq. units) bounded by the curve $y = gof(x)$ and the lines $x = α$ and $x =β$, is |
$\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}+1)$ $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2})$ $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{2}-1)$ $\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)$ |
$\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)$ |
We have, $f(x) =\sqrt{x}$ and $g(x) = \cos x^2$. Then, $gof (x) = g(f(x)) = g(\sqrt{x}) =\cos x$ Now, $18x^2-9πx+π^2=0$ $⇒18x^2-6πx-3πx+π^2 = 0$ $⇒бx (3x-π)-π(x-3π) = 0$ $⇒(6x-π)(x-3π)=0⇒x=\frac{π}{6},\frac{π}{3}⇒α=\frac{π}{6},β=\frac{π}{3}$ Required area = $\int\limits_α^β(gof) (x)dx =\int\limits_{π/6}^{π/3}\cos x\,dx$ $=\left[\sin x\right]_{π/6}^{π/3}=\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ |
