Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function defined by $f(x)=\frac{x}{\left(1+x^4\right)^{1 / 4}}$, and $g(x)=f(f(f(f(x))))$. Then, $18 \int_0^{\sqrt{2 \sqrt{5}}} x^2 g(x) d x$ is equal to

  1. A 36
  2. B 33
  3. C 39 Correct answer
  4. D 42

Solution

<p>$$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\frac{x}{\left(1+x^4\right)^{1 / 4}}\\ &f \circ f(x)=\frac{f(x)}{\left(1+f(x)^4\right)^{1 / 4}}=\frac{\frac{x}{\left(1+x^4\right)^{1 / 4}}}{\left(1+\frac{x^4}{1+x^4}\right)^{1 / 4}}=\frac{x}{\left(1+2 x^4\right)^{1 / 4}}\\ &f(f(f(f(x))))=\frac{x}{\left(1+4 x^4\right)^{1 / 4}} \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>$$18 \int_\limits0^{\sqrt{2 \sqrt{5}}} \frac{x^3}{\left(1+4 x^4\right)^{1 / 4}} d x$$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } 1+4 \mathrm{x}^4=\mathrm{t}^4 \\ & 16 \mathrm{x}^3 \mathrm{dx}=4 \mathrm{t}^3 \mathrm{dt} \\ & \frac{18}{4} \int_\limits1^3 \frac{\mathrm{t}^3 \mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{t}} \\ & =\frac{9}{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{t}^3}{3}\right)_1^3 \\ & =\frac{3}{2}[26]=39 \end{aligned}$$</p>
