Let fx=x1+xn1n, x--1, n, n>2. If fnx=(fofof.... upto n times) x, then limn01xn-2fnxdx is equal to

Solution

Given,

 fx=x1+xn1n, x--1, n, n>2,

fnx=(fofof.... upto n times) x,

Now finding ffx=fx1+fxn1n

ffx=x1+xn1n1+x1+xn1nn1n

ffx=x1+2xn1n

Similarly, fnx=x1+n xn1n

Now solving the integral we get,

I=01xn-11+nxn1ndx

Now let, 1+nxn=tn

n2xn-1dx=ntn-1 dt

I=11+n1n 1ntn-1 dtt

I=1ntn-1n-111+n1n

I=1nn-11+n1-1n-1

Now solving the limit we get,

limn1+n1-1n-1nn-1

Now let n=1h so the limit changes to,

limh01+1h1-h-11h1h-1

=limh01+1h1-h-11h1h-1

=limh01-h1h-1

=limh0h1-h1-h

=limh0h=0
