Let f:R→R be a function such that f(x)+3f(2π−x)=sinx,x∈R. Let maximum value of f on R be α. If the area of the region bounded by the curves g(x)=x2 and h(x)=βx3, β>0, is α2, then 30β3 is equal to
Answer: 16
Solution
Replacing x by 2π−x in f(x)+3f(2π−x)=sinx gives f(2π−x)+3f(x)=cosx; eliminating f(2π−x) yields 8f(x)=3cosx−sinx, so f(x)=81(3cosx−sinx) with maximum α=810. The curves y=x2 and y=βx3 meet at x=0 and x=β1, enclosing area ∫01/β(x2−βx3)dx=12β31. Setting 12β31=α2=6410 gives β3=158, so 30β3=16.
