Question 3 - Jee advanced Math 2022 P2 Questions with Solutions

The greatest integer less than or equal to 

\(\int_{1}^{2}\log_{2}{(x^{3} + 1)}dx + \int_{1}^{\log_{2}{9}}(2^{x} - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}dx\)

is ______.

Sol : 

Trick in this problem is realising that the integrands \(\log_{2}{(x^{3} + 1)}\) and \((2^{x} - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}\) are inverse functions of each other. Here’s how.

Let \(y(x) = \log_{2}{(x^{3} + 1)}\)

\(y(x)\) exists for all \(x > -1\). It is one-one as well as onto function. Hence, its inverse exists. 

\(\implies 2^{y} = x^{3} + 1\)

\(\implies x = (2^{y} - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}\) which is the integrand in the second term.

Rewriting the same in more familiar notations,

\(y^{-1}(x) = (2^{x} - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}\)

So the integrands are inverse functions of each other. Now think about the definite integrals in terms of areas.  

For any non-zero invertible function \(y(x)\), the area under the curve between x = c to x = d is highlighted in red. And the blue area is equivalent to the area under the curve \(y^{-1}(x)\) between ‘y(c)’ and ‘y(d)’.  

Sum of their areas  =  area of the outer rectangle(\(d \times y(d)\))

                                       - area of the inner rectangle(\(c \times y(c)\))

In our example, \(c = 1\) and \(d = 2\) are the limits of integration of \(y(x)\).

\(\implies y(1) = \log_{2}{1^{3} + 1} = \log_{2}{2} = 1\) and

       \(y(2) = \log_{2}{2^{3} + 1} = \log_{2}{9}\)

We see that \(y(1)\) and \(y(2)\) are indeed the limits of integration of \(y^{-1}(x)\).

\(\implies \int_{1}^{2}\log_{2}{(x^{3} + 1)}dx + \int_{1}^{\log_{2}{9}}(2^{x} - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}dx\)

  \( = d \times y(d) - c \times y(c)\)

  \( = 2\log_{2}{9} - 1\)

  \( = 4\log_{2}{3} - 1\)

  \( = 4\frac{\log_{10}{3}}{\log_{10}{2}} - 1\)

\( = 4\frac{0.477}{0.301} - 1\)

\( \approx 4(1. 05) - 1\)

\( \approx (4. 20)  - 1\)

\( \approx 3.20 \)

Therefore, the greatest integer less than or equal to the given integral is 3.
