Step-by-Step Verified Solution

1. We are given a relationship between the integral of the function f(t)f(t) and the function f(x)f(x) :

3∫1xf(t)dt=xf(x)−x33,x∈[1,∞)3 \int\limits_1^x f(t) d t=x f(x)-\frac{x^3}{3}, x \in[1, \infty)

2. Differentiate both sides of the above equation with respect to xx :

3(f(x)⋅1−0)=1.f(x)+xf′(x)−3x233(f(x) \cdot 1-0)=1 . f(x)+x f^{\prime}(x)-\frac{3 x^2}{3}

⇒\Rightarrow 3f(x)=f(x)+xf′(x)−x23f(x) = f(x) + xf'(x) - x^2

⇒\Rightarrow 2f(x)=xf′(x)−x22f(x) = xf'(x) - x^2

3. We can rewrite this as a first order linear differential equation:

xf′(x)−2f(x)=x2xf'(x) - 2f(x) = x^2

4. The general form of a first order linear differential equation is:

y′(x)+p(x)y=q(x)y'(x) + p(x)y = q(x)

Here y=f(x)y = f(x) , p(x)=−2xp(x) = -\frac{2}{x} , and q(x)=xq(x) = x .

5. The integrating factor is obtained by exponentiating the integral of p(x)p(x) with respect to xx :

e∫p(x)dx=e∫−2xdx=e−2ln⁡∣x∣=1x2e^{\int p(x) dx} = e^{\int -\frac{2}{x} dx} = e^{-2\ln|x|} = \frac{1}{x^2}

6. ∴\therefore Solution of D.E :

y⋅(1x2)=∫(x)1x2dxyx2=ln⁡x+cy=x2lnx+cx2\begin{gathered}y \cdot\left(\frac{1}{x^2}\right)=\int(x) \frac{1}{x^2} d x \\\\\frac{y}{x^2}=\ln x+c \\\\y=x^2 ln x+c x^2\end{gathered}

∴\therefore The general solution is :

y(x)=x2(ln⁡x+c)y(x) = x^2(\ln x + c)

Here, y(x)y(x) is the same as f(x)f(x) , i.e. the function we're trying to find.

7. Given that f(1)=13f(1) = \frac{1}{3} , let's use this condition to find the constant cc :

13=12(ln⁡1+c)⇒c=13\frac{1}{3} = 1^2(\ln 1 + c) \Rightarrow c = \frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the function f(x)f(x) we are looking for is:

f(x)=x2(ln⁡x+13)f(x) = x^2(\ln x + \frac{1}{3})

We want to find f(e)f(e) , so substituting x=ex=e into the function, we get :

f(e)=e2(ln⁡e+13)=e2(1+13)=4e23f(e) = e^2(\ln e + \frac{1}{3}) = e^2(1 + \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{4e^2}{3}

So, the correct answer is

Option C : 4e23\frac{4e^2}{3}
