C = x → ∞ lim ⎝ ⎛ ⌊ x ⌋ ln x ⎠ ⎞
If you think that C does not exist or it is not finite submit 9.00, otherwise find: ∫ 0 5 e C x d x and submit your answer to two decimal places.

that was a nice use of sandwich theorem .... i like this question ... +1
Let { x } be the functional part of x such that x = ⌊ x ⌋ + { x } . This function has the property that 0 ≤ { x } < 1 and so 0 ≤ x { x } < x 1 when x > 0 . If we take the limit as x goes to infinity then by the sandwich theorem, we have x → ∞ lim x { x } = 0
x → ∞ lim ⌊ x ⌋ ln x = x → ∞ lim x ⌊ x ⌋ x ln x = x → ∞ lim x x + x { x } x ln x = x → ∞ lim 1 + 0 x ln x = x → ∞ lim x ln x
This is a standard limit which has value 0 so therefore C = 0
After this, we simply have to calculate ∫ 0 5 e C x d x which equals ∫ 0 5 e 0 x d x = ∫ 0 5 d x = 5
Nice and thanks.... (+1)... :-)
Write floor (x) as x-{x}, since x tends to infinity , x-{x} tends to x as {x} is very small. Thus f l o o r ( x ) l n ( x ) = x l n ( x ) , whose limit is 0 at infinity. Thus the required answer is integration of e 0 from 1 to 5, which is 5.
pls don't write next time to answer upto 2 decimals for integral answers. I have to recheck my calculation 5 times!!!!!!!. Nice question

By definition of floor function:
x − 1 ≤ ⌊ x ⌋ ≤ x ∀ x ∈ R
⟹ x 1 ≤ ⌊ x ⌋ 1 ≤ x − 1 1 ∀ x ∈ R − { 0 , 1 }
⟹ x ln x ≤ ⌊ x ⌋ ln x ≤ x − 1 ln x
( Since ln x > 0 as x → ∞ )
⟹ x → ∞ lim x ln x ≤ x → ∞ lim ⌊ x ⌋ ln x ≤ x → ∞ lim x − 1 ln x
By Squeeze theorem C is 0 since:-
x → ∞ lim x ln x = x → ∞ lim x − 1 ln x = 0 ( By L ′ h o p i t a l )
And hence integration is simply:
∫ 0 5 ( 1 ) d x ( LOL )
= 5
