If $\int_e^x t f(t) d t=\sin x-x \cos x-\frac{x^2}{2}$, for all $x \in R-\{0\}$, then the value of $f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$ is
  1. 1/2
  2. 1
  3. 0
  4. $-1 / 2$

Solution

Let $\int_e^x t f(t) d t=\sin x-x \cos x-\frac{x^2}{2}$ By using Leibnitz rule, we get $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{d}{d x}\left[\int_e^x t f(t) d t\right]=\frac{d}{d x}\left[\sin x-x \cos x-\frac{x^2}{2}\right] \\ & \Rightarrow x f(x)-e f(e) \cdot 0=x \sin x-x \end{aligned} $ Now, put $x=\frac{\pi}{6}$, we get $ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\pi}{6} \cdot f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{\pi}{6} \cdot \sin \frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{\pi}{6} \\ & \Rightarrow f\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\sin \frac{\pi}{6}-1=\frac{1}{2}-1=-\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} $
