Let f:[1,∞)→Rf: [1, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbf{R} be a differentiable function defined as f(x)=∫1xf(t) dt+(1−x)(log⁡ex−1)+ef(x) = \int_1^x f(t)\,dt + (1-x)(\log_e x - 1) + e. Then the value of f(f(1))f(f(1)) is :

Options

  1. A(1+ee)(1 + e^e)
  2. B(1+e)(1 + e)
  3. C(1+e+ee)(1 + e + e^e)
  4. D1+2e1 + 2e

Correct answer

A. (1+ee)(1 + e^e)

Step-by-step solution

Given f(x)=∫1xf(t) dt+(1−x)(log⁡ex−1)+ef(x) = \int_1^x f(t)\,dt + (1-x)(\log_e x - 1) + e

Substituting x=1x = 1 in the given equation:

f(1)=∫11f(t) dt+(1−1)(log⁡e1−1)+ef(1) = \int_1^1 f(t)\,dt + (1-1)(\log_e 1 - 1) + e

f(1)=0+0+e=ef(1) = 0 + 0 + e = e

Differentiating the given equation with respect to xx using the Leibniz rule:

f′(x)=f(x)+ddx[(1−x)(log⁡ex−1)]f'(x) = f(x) + \dfrac{d}{dx}[(1-x)(\log_e x - 1)]

f′(x)=f(x)+(−1)(log⁡ex−1)+(1−x)(1x)f'(x) = f(x) + (-1)(\log_e x - 1) + (1-x)\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)

f′(x)=f(x)−log⁡ex+1+1x−1f'(x) = f(x) - \log_e x + 1 + \dfrac{1}{x} - 1

f′(x)−f(x)=1x−log⁡exf'(x) - f(x) = \dfrac{1}{x} - \log_e x

This is a linear differential equation of the form dydx+Py=Q\dfrac{dy}{dx} + Py = Q, where P=−1P = -1 and Q=1x−log⁡exQ = \dfrac{1}{x} - \log_e x.

Integrating Factor (IF) =e∫−1 dx=e−x= e^{\int -1 \,dx} = e^{-x}

Multiplying the differential equation by the IF:

e−xf′(x)−e−xf(x)=e−x(1x−log⁡ex)e^{-x} f'(x) - e^{-x} f(x) = e^{-x} \left(\dfrac{1}{x} - \log_e x\right)

ddx[e−xf(x)]=e−x1x−e−xlog⁡ex\dfrac{d}{dx}[e^{-x} f(x)] = e^{-x} \dfrac{1}{x} - e^{-x} \log_e x

Notice that ddx[e−xlog⁡ex]=−e−xlog⁡ex+e−x1x\dfrac{d}{dx}[e^{-x} \log_e x] = -e^{-x} \log_e x + e^{-x} \dfrac{1}{x}.

Thus, ddx[e−xf(x)]=ddx[e−xlog⁡ex]\dfrac{d}{dx}[e^{-x} f(x)] = \dfrac{d}{dx}[e^{-x} \log_e x]

Integrating both sides with respect to xx:

e−xf(x)=e−xlog⁡ex+Ce^{-x} f(x) = e^{-x} \log_e x + C

f(x)=log⁡ex+Cexf(x) = \log_e x + C e^x

Using the initial condition f(1)=ef(1) = e:

e=log⁡e1+Ce1e = \log_e 1 + C e^1

e=0+Ce⇒C=1e = 0 + C e \Rightarrow C = 1

Therefore, the function is f(x)=log⁡ex+exf(x) = \log_e x + e^x.

We need to find f(f(1))f(f(1)):

Since f(1)=ef(1) = e, we evaluate f(e)f(e):

f(e)=log⁡ee+ee=1+eef(e) = \log_e e + e^e = 1 + e^e

Answer: (1+ee)(1 + e^e)
