If for a continuous function $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$, $\int_{-\pi}^t(f(x)+x d x)=\pi^2-t^2$, for all $t \geq-\pi$, then $\mathrm{f}\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$ is equal to:
  1. $\pi$
  2. $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  3. $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  4. $\frac{\pi}{6}$

Solution

Let $\int_{-\pi}^t(f(x)+x) d x=\pi^2-t^2$ $ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \int_{-\pi}^t f(x) d x+\int_{-\pi}^t x d x=\pi^2-t^2 \\ &\Rightarrow \int_{-\pi}^t f(x) d x+\left(\frac{t^2}{2}-\frac{\pi^2}{2}\right)=\pi^2-t^2 \\ &\Rightarrow \int_{-\pi}^t f(x) d x=\frac{3}{2}\left(\pi^2-t^2\right) \end{aligned} $ differentiating with respect to $t$ $\frac{d}{d t}\left[\int_{-\pi}^t f(x) d x\right]=\frac{3}{2} \frac{d}{d t}\left(\pi^2-t^2\right)$ $f(t) \cdot \frac{d t}{d t}-f(-\pi) \frac{d}{d t}(-\pi)=-3 t$ $f(t)=-3 t$ $f\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=-3\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\pi$
