Q56 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (17 Mar Shift 2) · Mathematics

Let In=∫1ex19(log|x|)ndx, where n∈N. If  20I10=αI9+βI8, for natural numbers α and β, then α-β equal to _______.

Correct answer: 1

Solution

Given In=∫1ex19(log|x|)ndx, n∈N

⇒In=∫1ex19logxndx, ∵ for 1<x<e, x>0

Integrating by using by parts rule, ∫abu·vdx=u∫vdxab-∫abddxu∫vdxdx, taking u=logx & v=x19, we get

In=logxn∫x19dx1e-∫1eddxlogxn∫x19dxdx

⇒In=logxnx20201e-∫1enlogxn-1×1x×x2020dx

⇒In=logene2020-0-∫1enlogxn-1×x1920dx

⇒In=e2020-n20∫1ex19logxn-1dx

⇒20In=e20-nIn-1

Hence, we get 20I10=e20-10I9   ...i and

20I9=e20-9I8   ...ii

On subtracting the above two equations, we get

20I10-20I9=-10I9+9I8

⇒20I10=10I9+9I8

Given 20I10=αI9+βI8

⇒α=10, β=9 and hence α-β=1.

Hence, the correct answer is 1.
