Step-by-Step Verified Solution

We have, f′(x)=192x32+sin⁡4πxf'(x) = {{192{x^3}} \over {2 + {{\sin }^4}\pi x}}

Given, f(12)=0f\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right) = 0 and m≤∫1/21f(x)dx≤mm \le \int\limits_{1/2}^1 {f(x)dx \le m}

∴\therefore f(x) is increasing in (12,1)\left( {{1 \over 2},1} \right) .

∴\therefore f′(x)max⁡=19224=96f'{(x)_{\max }} = {{192} \over {24}} = 96

⇒96=f(1)−f(1/2)1/2⇒f(1)=96×12=48\Rightarrow 96 = {{f(1) - f(1/2)} \over {1/2}} \Rightarrow f(1) = 96 \times {1 \over 2} = 48

M=12×12×48=12M = {1 \over 2} \times {1 \over 2} \times 48 = 12

f′(x)min⁡.=(1928)3=19224f'{(x)_{\min .}} = {{\left( {{{192} \over 8}} \right)} \over 3} = {{192} \over {24}}

⇒19224=f(1)−0(1/2)⇒f(1)=19224×12\Rightarrow {{192} \over {24}} = {{f(1) - 0} \over {(1/2)}} \Rightarrow f(1) = {{192} \over {24}} \times {1 \over 2}

∴\therefore m=12×12×19224×12=1m = {1 \over 2} \times {1 \over 2} \times {{192} \over {24}} \times {1 \over 2} = 1
