If [ . ] represents the greatest integer function, then the value of


∣∫0π2[[x2]−cos⁡x]dx∣\left| {\int\limits_0^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {\left[ {[{x^2}] - \cos x} \right]dx} } \right| is ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∫0π2[[x2]−cos⁡x]dx\int\limits_0^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {\left[ {[{x^2}] - \cos x} \right]} dx

=∫01[−cos⁡x]dx+∫1π2[1−cos⁡x]dx= \int\limits_0^1 {[ - \cos x]dx} + \int\limits_1^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {[1 - \cos x]dx}

= ∫01[−cos⁡x]dx+∫1π21dx+∫1π2[−cos⁡x]dx\int\limits_0^1 {\left[ { - \cos x} \right]} dx + \int\limits_1^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {1dx} + \int\limits_1^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {\left[ { - \cos x} \right]} dx

When 0 ≤\le x ≤\le 1 then -1 ≤\le -cosx ≤\le 0

∴\therefore [−cos⁡x]{\left[ { - \cos x} \right]} = -1

When 1 ≤\le x ≤\le π2{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } = 1.24 then -0.33 ≤\le -cosx ≤\le 0

∴\therefore [−cos⁡x]{\left[ { - \cos x} \right]} = -1 (Integer value present in the left side of -0.33)

=−∫01dx+∫1π2dx−∫1π2dx= - \int\limits_0^1 {dx + \int\limits_1^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {dx - \int\limits_1^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {dx} } }

=−(x)01=−1= - (x)_0^1 = - 1

∴\therefore ∣∫0π2[[x2]−cos⁡x]dx∣\left| {\int\limits_0^{\sqrt {{\pi \over 2}} } {\left[ {[{x^2}] - \cos x} \right]dx} } \right| = 1
