If $\int f'(x) \cdot e^{x^2}\,dx = (x - 1) \cdot e^{x^2} + k$, where $k$ is constant of integration, then $f(x) = \ldots$

  • A
    $2x^3 - \dfrac{x^2}{2} + x + c$, where $c$ is constant of integration.
  • B
    $\dfrac{x^3}{2} + 3x^2 + 4x + c$, where $c$ is constant of integration.
  • C
    $x^3 + 4x^2 + 6x + c$, where $c$ is constant of integration.
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\dfrac{2x^3}{3} - x^2 + x + c$, where $c$ is constant of integration.

Solution

Differentiating both sides of the given equation with respect to $x$:

$\dfrac{d}{dx} \left[ \int f'(x) \cdot e^{x^2}\,dx \right] = \dfrac{d}{dx} \left[ (x - 1) \cdot e^{x^2} + k \right]$

$f'(x) \cdot e^{x^2} = 1 \cdot e^{x^2} + (x - 1) \cdot e^{x^2} \cdot (2x)$

$f'(x) \cdot e^{x^2} = e^{x^2} (1 + 2x^2 - 2x)$

Dividing both sides by $e^{x^2}$:

$f'(x) = 2x^2 - 2x + 1$

Integrating both sides with respect to $x$ to find $f(x)$:

$f(x) = \int (2x^2 - 2x + 1)\,dx$

$f(x) = \dfrac{2x^3}{3} - x^2 + x + c$

where $c$ is the constant of integration.

Answer: $\dfrac{2x^3}{3} - x^2 + x + c$, where $c$ is constant of integration.

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