Step-by-step solution

Since f(x)f(x) is continuous at x=π/2x = \pi/2, the right-hand limit must equal the value of the function at x=π/2x = \pi/2.

lim⁡x→π/2+f(x)=f(π/2)\lim_{x \to \pi/2^+} f(x) = f(\pi/2)

lim⁡x→π/2+b(1−sin⁡x)(π−2x)2=13\lim_{x \to \pi/2^+} \dfrac{b(1-\sin x)}{(\pi-2x)^2} = \dfrac{1}{3}

Let x=π/2+hx = \pi/2 + h. As x→π/2+x \to \pi/2^+, h→0+h \to 0^+.

lim⁡h→0+b(1−sin⁡(π/2+h))(π−2(π/2+h))2=13\lim_{h \to 0^+} \dfrac{b(1-\sin(\pi/2+h))}{(\pi-2(\pi/2+h))^2} = \dfrac{1}{3}

lim⁡h→0+b(1−cos⁡h)(−2h)2=13\lim_{h \to 0^+} \dfrac{b(1-\cos h)}{(-2h)^2} = \dfrac{1}{3}

lim⁡h→0+b(1−cos⁡h)4h2=13\lim_{h \to 0^+} \dfrac{b(1-\cos h)}{4h^2} = \dfrac{1}{3}

Using the standard limit lim⁡h→01−cos⁡hh2=12\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{1-\cos h}{h^2} = \dfrac{1}{2}, we get:

b4×12=13⇒b8=13⇒b=83\dfrac{b}{4} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{3} \Rightarrow \dfrac{b}{8} = \dfrac{1}{3} \Rightarrow b = \dfrac{8}{3}

The upper limit of the integral is 3b−6=3(83)−6=23b - 6 = 3\left(\dfrac{8}{3}\right) - 6 = 2.

The integral to evaluate is I=∫02∣x2+2x−3∣ dxI = \displaystyle\int_{0}^{2} |x^2+2x-3|\,dx.

Factoring the quadratic expression gives x2+2x−3=(x+3)(x−1)x^2+2x-3 = (x+3)(x-1).

For x∈[0,1]x \in [0, 1], (x+3)(x−1)≤0(x+3)(x-1) \leq 0, so ∣x2+2x−3∣=3−2x−x2|x^2+2x-3| = 3 - 2x - x^2.

For x∈[1,2]x \in [1, 2], (x+3)(x−1)≥0(x+3)(x-1) \geq 0, so ∣x2+2x−3∣=x2+2x−3|x^2+2x-3| = x^2+2x-3.

Splitting the integral at x=1x = 1:

I=∫01(3−2x−x2) dx+∫12(x2+2x−3) dxI = \displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} (3 - 2x - x^2)\,dx + \displaystyle\int_{1}^{2} (x^2+2x-3)\,dx

Evaluating the first integral:

∫01(3−2x−x2) dx=[3x−x2−x33]01=3−1−13=53\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1} (3 - 2x - x^2)\,dx = \left[ 3x - x^2 - \dfrac{x^3}{3} \right]_0^1 = 3 - 1 - \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{5}{3}

Evaluating the second integral:

∫12(x2+2x−3) dx=[x33+x2−3x]12\displaystyle\int_{1}^{2} (x^2+2x-3)\,dx = \left[ \dfrac{x^3}{3} + x^2 - 3x \right]_1^2

=(83+4−6)−(13+1−3)=(83−2)−(13−2)=73= \left( \dfrac{8}{3} + 4 - 6 \right) - \left( \dfrac{1}{3} + 1 - 3 \right) = \left( \dfrac{8}{3} - 2 \right) - \left( \dfrac{1}{3} - 2 \right) = \dfrac{7}{3}

Adding the two parts:

I=53+73=123=4I = \dfrac{5}{3} + \dfrac{7}{3} = \dfrac{12}{3} = 4
