Question -21

Calculus Level 4

k = 1 n 0 1 f ( 1 k + x ) d x \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n \displaystyle \int_{0}^1 f(1-k+x) \space \mathrm{d}x

There's integration and summation here in the expression above.

If I were to simplify the expression above, what do I get?

let us take the integral first:- 0 1 f ( 1 k + x ) d x l e t t = 1 k + x > d t = d x n o w : k = 1 n 1 k k f ( t ) d t n o w j u s t s u m m i n g i t a l l u p : > 0 1 f ( t ) d t + 1 2 f ( t ) d t + 2 3 f ( t ) d t + . . . . + 1 n n f ( t ) d t n o w : l e t t h e a n t i d e r i v a t i v e o f f ( x ) b e a f u n c t i o n F ( X ) { F ( 1 ) F ( 0 ) } + { F ( 2 ) F ( 1 ) } + { F ( 3 ) F ( 2 ) } + . . . . . . + { F ( n ) F ( 1 n ) } a s m o s t o f t e r m s a r e g e t t i n g c a n c e l l e d p a i r w i s e w e a r e l e f t w i t h : F ( 0 ) + F ( n ) > F ( n ) F ( 0 ) t h e a b o v e f n i s n o t h i n g b u t 0 n f ( x ) d x \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ f(1-k+x)\quad dx } \quad \\ let\quad t=1-k+x\quad ->\quad dt=dx\\ now\quad :-\\ \sum _{ k=1 }^{ n }{ \quad \int _{ 1-k }^{ -k }{ \quad f(t)\quad dt } } \\ now\quad just\quad summing\quad it\quad all\quad up:-\\ ->\quad \int _{ 0 }^{ -1 }{ f(t)\quad dt } +\int _{ -1 }^{ -2 }{ f(t)\quad dt } +\int _{ -2 }^{ -3 }{ f(t)\quad dt } +....+\int _{ 1-n }^{ n }{ f(t)\quad dt } \\ now:-\\ let\quad the\quad antiderivative\quad of\quad f(x)\quad be\quad a\quad function\quad F(X)\\ \therefore \quad \{ F(-1)-F(0)\} +\{ F(-2)-F(-1)\} +\{ F(-3)-F(-2)\} +....\\ ..+\{ F(-n)-F(1-n)\} \\ as\quad most\quad of\quad terms\quad are\quad getting\quad cancelled\quad pairwise\\ we\quad are\quad left\quad with:-\\ -F(0)+F(n)\quad ->\quad F(n)-F(0)\\ \therefore \quad the\quad above\quad fn\quad is\quad nothing\quad but\\ \int _{ 0 }^{ n }{ f(x)\quad dx } \\

I think that in 4th line the upper limit of integral should be 2 k 2-k instead of k -k

yup it seems i made a good mistake. But i changed the limits and worked out the problem and the answers comming to be 1 1 n f ( x ) d x \int _{ 1 }^{ 1-n }{ f(x)\quad dx } .i dont know where i am wrong , i know i AM MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE i tried this method only.can u share your method .(i am amazed how it came right in the first place)

That's why I firmly believe that the answer is wrong.

Check this explanation:

Since nothing is given about f ( x ) f\left( x \right) ,take f ( x ) = x f\left( x \right) =x .

On simple integration and applying summation I am getting: n 2 ( 2 n ) \frac { n }{ 2 } \left( 2-n \right)

Now putting n = 2 n=2 ,you will get 0 0 while the given correct answer gives 2 2 as answer.

@Mudit Bansal yes your explanation is nice and seems to satisfy the fact too,but at the end answers not matching.there's got to be something wrong.

@Soumya Dubey Ok either you should report the problem and else I.
