Question:

If $f(x)=\frac{e^x}{1+e^x}, I_1=\int\limits_{f(-a)}^{f(a)} x g\{x(1-x)\} d x$ and $I_2=\int\limits_{f(-a)}^{f(a)} g\{x(1-x)\} d x$, then the value of $\frac{I_2}{I_1}$, is

Options:

1

-3

-1

2

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

We have,

$f(x)=\frac{e^x}{1+e^x}$

$\Rightarrow f(a)+f(-a)=\frac{e^a}{1+e^a}+\frac{e^{-a}}{1+e^{-a}}$

$\Rightarrow f(a)+f(-a)=\frac{e^a}{1+e^a}+\frac{1}{1+e^a}=1$

Using $\int\limits_a^b f(x) d x=\int\limits_a^b f(a+b-x) d x$, we have

$I_1 =\int\limits_{f(-a)}^{f(a)}(1-x) g\{(1-x) x\} d x$               $[∵ f(a)+f(-a)=1]$

$\Rightarrow I_1 =\int\limits_{f(-a)}^{f(a)} g\{(1-x) x\} d x-I_1$

$\Rightarrow \quad 2 =I_2-I_1 \Rightarrow 2 I_1=I_2 \Rightarrow \frac{I_2}{I_1}=2$
