Let f be a polynomial function such that f(x2 + 1) = x4 + 5x2 + 2, for all x R. Then 03 f(x) dx is equal to
- 332
- 53
- 272
- 413
Answer
(1) 332
Solution
Put x2 + 1 = t x2 = t - 1
f(t) = (t - 1)2 + 5(t - 1) + 2 = t2 + 3t - 2
f(x) = x2 + 3x - 2
03 f(x) dx = [ x33 + 3x22 - 2x ]03
= 9 + 272 - 6
= 332
Answer: (1)
