put cos x = t

Question 20.
(i) If \(\int_0^a\) 3x2 dx = 8, find the value of a.
(ii) If \(\int_1^a\) (3x2 + 2x + 1) dx = 11, find the value(s) of a.
Solution:
(i) Given \(\int_0^a\) 3x2 dx = 8
⇒ 3 \(\left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^a\) = 8
⇒ a3 – 0 = 8 = 23
⇒ a3 – 23 = 0
⇒ (a – 2) (a2 + 2a + 4) = 0
⇒ a = 2, \(\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4-16}}{2}\)
i.e., a = 2, \(\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4-16}}{2}\) ; i.e., a = 2, – 1 ± √3 i
Thus, only real value of a be 2.

(ii) \(\int_1^a\) (3x2 + 2x + 1) dx = 11
⇒ \(\left.\frac{3 x^3}{3}+\frac{2 x^2}{2}+x\right]_1^a\) = 11
⇒ (a3 + a2 + a) – (1 + 1 + 1) = 11
⇒ a3 + a2 + a – 14 = 0
⇒ (a – 2) (a2 + 3a + 7) = 0
either a – 2 = 0 or a2 + 3a + 17 = 0
it does not gives real values of a
⇒ a = 2
Hence a = 2.

(ii) Given \(\int_a^b\) x3 dx = 0
⇒ \(\left.\frac{x^4}{4}\right]_a^b\) = 0
⇒ \(\frac{1}{4}\) (b4 – a4) = 0
⇒ b4 – a4 = 0
⇒ (b – a) (b + a) (b2 + a2) = 0 ………………(1)
and \(\int_a^b\) x2 dx = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
⇒ \(\left.\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_a^b=\frac{2}{3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{b^3-a^3}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\)
⇒ (b – a) (b2 + ab + a2) = 2 …………..(2)
When b – a = 0 ⇒ b = a, does not satisfies given integrals.
from (1) ; when b + a = 0 ⇒ b = – a
∴ from (2); we have
– 2a (a2 – a2 + a2) = + 2
⇒ a3 = – 1
⇒ a = – 1 [other two values of a are complex numbers]
and b = – a + 1
and other eqn’s does not gives real values of a and b.
Thus, a = – 1 and b = + 1.
