If $\int\frac{dx}{(x − 1)^{3/4}.(x + 2)^{5/4}} = α[1 − g(x)]^β + c$, where c is a constant of integration, then which of the following are true?
(A) $α =\frac{2}{3}$
(B) $β=\frac{3}{4}$
(C) $3α +4β= 5$
(D) $g(x)=\frac{3}{(x+2)}$
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (C) and (D) only
$\int \frac{dx}{(x-1)^{\frac{3}{4}}(x+2)^{\frac{5}{4}}} =\alpha[1-g(x)]^{\beta}+c$
Let $1-g(x)=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$
$g(x)=1-\frac{x-1}{x+2}=\frac{3}{x+2}$
$\Rightarrow$ (D) is true
$1-g(x)=\frac{x-1}{x+2}$
$[1-g(x)]^{\beta}=\frac{(x-1)^{\beta}}{(x+2)^{\beta}}$
Differentiating
$\frac{d}{dx}\left[(1-g(x))^{\beta}\right] =\beta(1-g(x))^{\beta-1}\cdot g'(x)(-1)$
$g'(x)=\frac{-3}{(x+2)^2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d}{dx}\left[(1-g(x))^{\beta}\right] =\beta\frac{(x-1)^{\beta-1}}{(x+2)^{\beta-1}}\cdot\frac{3}{(x+2)^2}$
$=\frac{3\beta (x-1)^{\beta-1}}{(x+2)^{\beta+1}}$
Compare with integrand
$\frac{1}{(x-1)^{\frac{3}{4}}(x+2)^{\frac{5}{4}}}$
So
$\beta-1=-\frac{3}{4}$ and $\beta+1=\frac{5}{4}$
$\beta=\frac{1}{4}$ from both
Hence (B) is false
Now coefficient:
$\alpha\cdot 3\beta =1$
$\alpha\cdot 3\cdot\frac{1}{4}=1$
$\alpha=\frac{4}{3}$
Hence (A) is false
$3\alpha+4\beta=3\cdot\frac{4}{3}+4\cdot\frac{1}{4}=4+1=5$
Hence (C) is true
Correct options: (C) and (D)
