$\int_0^4 x[x] d x=($ where $[x]$ denotes greatest integer function not greater than $\mathrm{x}$ )

$\int_0^4 x[x] d x=($ where $[x]$ denotes greatest integer function not greater than $\mathrm{x}$ )
  1. 17
  2. 24
  3. $\frac{21}{2}$
  4. $\frac{33}{2}$

Solution

Let $I=\int_0^4 x[x] d x$ $\begin{aligned} & \therefore I=\int_0^1(0) d x+\int_1^2 x d x+\int_2^3 2 x d x+\int_3^4 3 x d x \\ & =\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_1^2+\left[\frac{2 x^2}{2}\right]_2^3+\left[\frac{3 x^2}{2}\right]_3^4 \\ & =\frac{1}{2}(4-1)+(9-4)+\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)(16-9)=\frac{3}{2}+5+\frac{21}{2}=17 \end{aligned}$
