  2. B1116\dfrac{11}{16}
  3. C1532\dfrac{15}{32}
  4. D1764\dfrac{17}{64}

Correct answer

C. 1532\dfrac{15}{32}

Step-by-step solution

Given f(xy)=f(x)f(y)f(xy) = f(x)f(y) for all x,y∈Rx, y \in \mathbb{R} and f(0)≠0f(0) \neq 0.

Substituting y=0y = 0, we get f(0)=f(x)f(0)f(0) = f(x)f(0).

Since f(0)≠0f(0) \neq 0, dividing by f(0)f(0) gives f(x)=1f(x) = 1 for all x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R}.

The given integral equation is:

x2g(x)=∫1x(t2f(t)−tg(t)) dtx^2 g(x) = \int\limits_1^x (t^2 f(t) - tg(t))\,dt

Substituting f(t)=1f(t) = 1:

x2g(x)=∫1x(t2−tg(t)) dtx^2 g(x) = \int\limits_1^x (t^2 - tg(t))\,dt

Differentiating both sides with respect to xx using Leibniz's rule:

2xg(x)+x2g′(x)=x2−xg(x)2x g(x) + x^2 g'(x) = x^2 - xg(x)

x2g′(x)+3xg(x)=x2x^2 g'(x) + 3xg(x) = x^2

Dividing by xx (since x≥1x \ge 1):

xg′(x)+3g(x)=xx g'(x) + 3g(x) = x

g′(x)+3xg(x)=1g'(x) + \dfrac{3}{x}g(x) = 1

This is a linear differential equation. The integrating factor is:

IF=e∫3x dx=e3ln⁡x=x3\text{IF} = e^{\int \dfrac{3}{x}\,dx} = e^{3\ln x} = x^3

Multiplying the differential equation by x3x^3:

x3g′(x)+3x2g(x)=x3x^3 g'(x) + 3x^2 g(x) = x^3

ddx(x3g(x))=x3\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^3 g(x)) = x^3

Integrating both sides with respect to xx:

x3g(x)=x44+Cx^3 g(x) = \dfrac{x^4}{4} + C

From the integral equation, substituting x=1x = 1 gives 12g(1)=∫11(t2−tg(t)) dt=01^2 g(1) = \int\limits_1^1 (t^2 - tg(t))\,dt = 0, so g(1)=0g(1) = 0.

Substituting x=1x = 1 and g(1)=0g(1) = 0 into the integrated equation:

13(0)=144+C⇒C=−141^3(0) = \dfrac{1^4}{4} + C \Rightarrow C = -\dfrac{1}{4}

Thus, the function g(x)g(x) is given by:

x3g(x)=x4−14x^3 g(x) = \dfrac{x^4 - 1}{4}

g(x)=x4−14x3g(x) = \dfrac{x^4 - 1}{4x^3}

Substituting x=2x = 2:

g(2)=24−14(23)=16−132=1532g(2) = \dfrac{2^4 - 1}{4(2^3)} = \dfrac{16 - 1}{32} = \dfrac{15}{32}

Answer: 1532\dfrac{15}{32}
