Question:

If $f(x)$ is a function satisfying $f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+x^2 f(x)=0$ for all non-zero $x$, then $\int\limits_{\sin \theta}^{~cosec \theta} f(x) d x$ equals

Options:

$\sin \theta+~cosec \theta$

$\sin ^2 \theta$

$~cosec^2 \theta$

none of these

Correct Answer:

none of these

Explanation:

We have,

$f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)+x^2 f(x)=0 \Rightarrow f(x)=-\frac{1}{x^2} f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$

∴  $I=\int\limits_{\sin \theta}^{~cosec \theta} f(x) d x=\int\limits_{\sin \theta}^{~cosec \theta}-\frac{1}{x^2} f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) d x=\int\limits_{~cosec \theta}^{\sin \theta} f(t) d t$, where $t=\frac{1}{x}$

$\Rightarrow I=-\int\limits_{\sin \theta}^{~cosec \theta} f(t) d t=-I \Rightarrow 2 I=0 \Rightarrow I=0$
