Since
f(x) is continuous at
x=π/2, the right-hand limit must equal the value of the function at
x=π/2.
limx→π/2+f(x)=f(π/2)limx→π/2+(π−2x)2b(1−sinx)=31Let
x=π/2+h. As
x→π/2+,
h→0+.
limh→0+(π−2(π/2+h))2b(1−sin(π/2+h))=31limh→0+(−2h)2b(1−cosh)=31limh→0+4h2b(1−cosh)=31Using the standard limit
limh→0h21−cosh=21, we get:
4b×21=31⇒8b=31⇒b=38The upper limit of the integral is
3b−6=3(38)−6=2.
The integral to evaluate is
I=∫02∣x2+2x−3∣dx.
Factoring the quadratic expression gives
x2+2x−3=(x+3)(x−1).
For
x∈[0,1],
(x+3)(x−1)≤0, so
∣x2+2x−3∣=3−2x−x2.
For
x∈[1,2],
(x+3)(x−1)≥0, so
∣x2+2x−3∣=x2+2x−3.
Splitting the integral at
x=1:
I=∫01(3−2x−x2)dx+∫12(x2+2x−3)dxEvaluating the first integral:
∫01(3−2x−x2)dx=[3x−x2−3x3]01=3−1−31=35Evaluating the second integral:
∫12(x2+2x−3)dx=[3x3+x2−3x]12=(38+4−6)−(31+1−3)=(38−2)−(31−2)=37Adding the two parts:
I=35+37=312=4Answer:
