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 |
$\sin \theta+~cosec \theta$ $\sin ^2 \theta$ $~cosec^2 \theta$ none of these |
none of these |
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 $t=\frac{1}{x}$ $\Rightarrow I=-\int\limits_{\sin \theta}^{~cosec \theta} f(t) d t=-I \Rightarrow 2 I=0 \Rightarrow I=0$ |
