Q133 / 200 · Manipal (MET) 2010 · Mathematics

If $\int f(x) d x=F(x)$, then $\int x^3 f\left(x^2\right) d x$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[x^2\{F(x)\}^2-\int\{F(x)\}^2 d x\right]$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[x^2 F\left(x^2\right)-\int F\left(x^2\right) d\left(x^2\right)\right]$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}\left[x^2 F(x)-\frac{1}{2} \int\{F(x)\}^2 d x\right]$
  • D
    None of the above

Solution

We have, $\int f(x) d x=F(x)$ $\therefore \int x^3 f\left(x^2\right) d x=\frac{1}{2} \int x^2 f\left(x^2\right) d\left(x^2\right)$ $=\frac{1}{2}\left[x^2 F\left(x^2\right)-\int F\left(x^2\right) d\left(x^2\right)\right]$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
