Q44 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

If ∫x5e-x2dx=gxe-x2+c, where c is a constant of integration, then g-1 is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    -52
  • B
    -1
  • C
    1
  • D
    -12

Solution

Let I=∫x5e-x2dx

Let, -x2=t⇒xdx=-12dt

∴ I=-12∫t2etdt

By using integrating by parts, i.e. ∫u·vdx=u∫vdx-∫ddxu∫vdxdx+c, we get

I=-12t2∫etdt-∫2t∫etdtdt+c

⇒I=-12t2et-2∫tetdt+c

Again, applying integrating by parts, we get

⇒I=-12t2et-2t∫etdt-∫1·etdt+c

⇒I=-12t2et-2tet-et+c

⇒I=-12t2et-2tet+2et+c

⇒I=-et2t2-2t+2+c

⇒I=-e-x22x4+2x2+2+c

Given, I=∫x5e-x2dx=gxe-x2+c

⇒gx=-12x4+2x2+2

⇒g-1=-12-14+2-12+2

⇒g-1=-52.

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