Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Let I=∫12log⁡2(x3+1)dx+∫1log⁡29(2x−1)13dxI = \int_1^2 {{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)dx + \int_1^{\log _2^9} {{{({2^x} - 1)}^{{1 \over 3}}}dx} }

Let I1=∫12log⁡2(x3+1)dx{I_1} = \int_1^2 {{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)dx}

and I2=∫1log⁡29(2x−1)13dx{I_2} = \int_1^{\log _2^9} {{{({2^x} - 1)}^{{1 \over 3}}}dx}

Let 2x−1=y3{2^x} - 1 = {y^3}

⇒2x . log⁡22=3y2 . dydx\Rightarrow {2^x}\,.\,\log _2^2 = 3{y^2}\,.\,{{dy} \over {dx}}

⇒dx=3y22xdy\Rightarrow dx = {{3{y^2}} \over {{2^x}}}dy

⇒dx=3y2dyy3+1\Rightarrow dx = {{3{y^2}dy} \over {{y^3} + 1}}

When x=1x = 1 then y3=21−1=1⇒y=1{y^3} = {2^1} - 1 = 1 \Rightarrow y = 1

When x=log⁡29x = \log _2^9 then y3=2log⁡29−1⇒y3=8⇒y=2{y^3} = {2^{\log _2^9}} - 1 \Rightarrow {y^3} = 8 \Rightarrow y = 2

∴\therefore I2=∫12y . 3y2y3+1dy{I_2} = \int_1^2 {y\,.\,{{3{y^2}} \over {{y^3} + 1}}dy}

=∫123y3dyy3+1= \int_1^2 {{{3{y^3}dy} \over {{y^3} + 1}}}

Let y=xy = x

⇒dy=dx\Rightarrow dy = dx

∴\therefore I2=∫123x3dxx3+1{I_2} = \int_1^2 {{{3{x^3}dx} \over {{x^3} + 1}}}

Now, I1=∫12log⁡2(x3+1)dx{I_1} = \int_1^2 {{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)dx}

=[log⁡2(x3+1) . x]12−∫121x3+1 . 3x2log⁡22 . x dx= \left[ {{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)\,.\,x} \right]_1^2 - \int_1^2 {{1 \over {{x^3} + 1}}\,.\,{{3{x^2}} \over {\log _2^2}}\,.\,x\,dx}

=[x . log⁡2(x3+1)]22−∫123x3dxx3+1= \left[ {x\,.\,{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)} \right]_2^2 - \int_1^2 {{{3{x^3}dx} \over {{x^3} + 1}}}

∴\therefore I=I1+I2I = {I_1} + {I_2}

=[x . log⁡2(x3+1)]12−∫123x3dx(x3+1)+∫123x3dx(x3+1)= \left[ {x\,.\,{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)} \right]_1^2 - \int_1^2 {{{3{x^3}dx} \over {({x^3} + 1)}} + \int_1^2 {{{3{x^3}dx} \over {({x^3} + 1)}}} }

=[x . log⁡2(x3+1)]12= \left[ {x\,.\,{{\log }_2}({x^3} + 1)} \right]_1^2

=2log⁡29−1 . log⁡22= 2\log _2^9 - 1\,.\,\log _2^2

=2log⁡29−1= 2\log _2^9 - 1

=4log⁡23−1= 4\log _2^3 - 1

=4×1.58−1= 4 \times 1.58 - 1

=6.32−1= 6.32 - 1

=5.32= 5.32

∴\therefore Greatest integer value of

I=[5.32]=5I = [5.32] = 5

Other Method :-

Let f(x)=log⁡2(x3+1)=yf(x) = {\log _2}({x^3} + 1) = y

⇒x3+1=2y\Rightarrow {x^3} + 1 = {2^y}

⇒x3=2y−1\Rightarrow {x^3} = {2^y} - 1

⇒x=(2y−1)13\Rightarrow x = {\left( {{2^y} - 1} \right)^{{1 \over 3}}}

∴\therefore f−1(x)=(2x−1)13{f^{ - 1}}(x) = {\left( {{2^x} - 1} \right)^{{1 \over 3}}}

And f(1)=log⁡2(1+1)=1=f(a)f(1) = \log _2^{(1 + 1)} = 1 = f(a) (Assume)

f(2)=log⁡2(8+1)=log⁡29=f(b)f(2) = \log _2^{(8 + 1)} = \log _2^9 = f(b)

∴\therefore I=∫abf(x)dx+∫f(a)f(b)f−1(x)dxI = \int_a^b {f(x)dx + \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)} {{f^{ - 1}}(x)dx} }

Let f−1(x)=t{f^{ - 1}}(x) = t

⇒x=f(t)\Rightarrow x = f(t)

⇒dx=f′(t)dt\Rightarrow dx = f'(t)dt

When x=f(a)x = f(a) then f(a)=f(t)⇒t=af(a) = f(t) \Rightarrow t = a

When x=f(b)x = f(b) then f(b)=f(t)⇒t=bf(b) = f(t) \Rightarrow t = b

∴\therefore I=∫abf(t)dt+∫abt . f′(t)dtI = \int_a^b {f(t)dt + \int_a^b {t\,.\,f'(t)dt} }

=∫ab(f(t)+t . f′(t))dt= \int_a^b {\left( {f(t) + t\,.\,f'(t)} \right)dt}

=[t . f(t)]ab= \left[ {t\,.\,f(t)} \right]_a^b

=b . f(b)−a . f(a)= b\,.\,f(b) - a\,.\,f(a)

Here b=2b = 2 , f(b)=log⁡29f(b) = \log _2^9

and a=1a = 1 , f(a)=1f(a) = 1

∴\therefore I=2log⁡29−1 . 1I = 2\log _2^9 - 1\,.\,1

=4 . log⁡23−1= 4\,.\,\log _2^3 - 1

=4×1.58−1= 4 \times 1.58 - 1

=6.32−1= 6.32 - 1

=5.32= 5.32

∴\therefore [I]=5[I] = 5
