x 1 ( x + x x + x ) x ( x + 1 ) d x = 4 tan 1 ( g ( x ) ) + C \large\ \int { \frac {x - 1}{(x + x\sqrt { x } + \sqrt { x }) \sqrt { \sqrt { x } ( x + 1) } } dx } = 4\tan ^{ -1 }{ \left( g( x) \right)} + C

If the above equation holds true for real-valued function g ( x ) g(x) and an arbitrary constant of integration C C , find the value of g 2 ( 1 ) \left \lfloor g^{ 2 }(1) \right\rfloor .

Notation: \lfloor \cdot \rfloor denotes the floor function .


The answer is 2.

Presenting @Ayush Sharma 's solution in LaTex.

I = x 1 ( x + x x + x ) x ( x + 1 ) d x Divide up and down by x x = 1 x 1 x x x + x x + x x x ( x + 1 ) x d x = 1 x 1 x x ( 1 + x + 1 x ) x + 1 x d x Let u 2 = x + 1 x = 4 u ( 1 + u 2 ) u d u 2 u d u = ( 1 2 x 1 2 x x ) d x = 1 1 + u 2 d u = 4 tan 1 u + C where C is the constant of integration. \begin{aligned} I & = \int \frac {x-1}{(x+x\sqrt x+\sqrt x)\sqrt{\sqrt x(x+1)}} dx & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Divide up and down by }x\sqrt x \\ & = \int \frac {\frac 1{\sqrt x}-\frac 1{x\sqrt x}}{\frac {x+x\sqrt x+\sqrt x}x\sqrt{\frac {\sqrt x(x+1)}x}} dx \\ & = \int \frac {\frac 1{\sqrt x}-\frac 1{x\sqrt x}}{\left(1+\sqrt x+ \frac 1{\sqrt x}\right)\sqrt{\sqrt x + \frac 1{\sqrt x}}} dx & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{Let }u^2 = \sqrt x + \frac 1{\sqrt x} \\ & = \int \frac {4u}{\left(1+u^2\right)u} du & \small \color{#3D99F6} \implies 2u \ du = \left(\frac 1{2\sqrt x} - \frac 1{2x\sqrt x}\right)dx \\ & = \int \frac 1{1+u^2}du \\ & = 4\tan^{-1} u + C & \small \color{#3D99F6} \text{where }C \text{ is the constant of integration.} \end{aligned}

Therefore,

g ( x ) = u = x + 1 x g 2 ( 1 ) = 1 + 1 1 g 2 ( 1 ) = 2 g(x) = u = \sqrt{\sqrt x + \dfrac 1{\sqrt x}} \implies g^2(1) = \sqrt 1 + \frac 1{\sqrt 1} \implies \left \lfloor g^2(1) \right \rfloor = \boxed{2}

@Chew-Seong Cheong , Thanks sir.

Can you please give me a solution to this problem also?

@Chew-Seong Cheong SIr, i actually don't have hint to that problem.

How you got I 1 I_1 ?

Priyanshu Mishra - 3 years, 10 months ago

I have no solution for I 1 I_1 . I used Wolfram Alpha. Can you give a hint?
