If fx=2-xcosx2+xcosx and g(x)=logex, then the value of the integral -π4π4gfxdx is
  1. logee
  2. loge2
  3. loge1
  4. loge3

Solution

Given,

fx=2-xcosx2+xcosx, g(x)=logex

gfx=loge2-xcosx2+xcosx

gf-x=loge2-(-x)cos(-x)2+(-x)cos(-x)

gf-x=loge2+xcosx2-xcosx

gf-x=-log2-xcosx2+xcosx

gf-x=g(fx)

Hence, g(fx) is an odd function.

By using the property of definite integration, -aafxdx=20afxdx,  f-x=fx0,f-x=-fx, we can write
-π4π4g(f(x))dx=0=loge1
