Analyzing the Setup
Welcome, fellow traveler of the JEE Advanced landscape. Today, we are going to dissect a problem that looks like a monster but is actually a beautifully orchestrated dance of calculus.
We are tasked with finding the limit:
L=t→0lim(∫01(3x+5)tdx)t1
At first glance, this looks intimidating. An integral raised to a variable power requires a systematic approach.
Identifying the Beast
In the world of limits, the first step is always to check the form. As t→0, the integrand (3x+5)t becomes (3x+5)0=1. The integral of 1 from 0 to 1 is simply 1, while the exponent t1 approaches infinity.
We have arrived at the classic
1∞ indeterminate form. This is a signal to use the powerful identity:
t→0lim[f(t)]g(t)=elimt→0g(t)[f(t)−1]
Our problem is now transformed into calculating the exponent:
L=exp(t→0limt1(∫01(3x+5)tdx−1))
The Calculus of the Integral
Now, let's focus on the heart of the expression: the integral I=∫01(3x+5)tdx. Since we are integrating with respect to x, t is treated as a constant.
We use the power rule for integration:
∫(ax+b)ndx=a(n+1)(ax+b)n+1
Applying this, we get:
I=[3(t+1)(3x+5)t+1]01
Substituting the limits, we find:
I=3(t+1)8t+1−5t+1
The L'Hopital Showdown
Now, we substitute
I back into our limit expression:
t→0limt1(3(t+1)8t+1−5t+1−1)
By taking the common denominator, we get:
t→0lim3t(t+1)8t+1−5t+1−3(t+1)
Plugging in
t=0 yields the
0/0 form. Applying L'Hopital's Rule by differentiating the numerator and denominator with respect to
t:
t→0lim6t+38t+1ln(8)−5t+1ln(5)−3
Evaluating at
t=0, we obtain:
38ln(8)−5ln(5)−3
The Logarithmic Victory
We are almost there. We have the exponent value:
31(8ln(8)−5ln(5)−3)
Using logarithmic properties, this simplifies to:
ln(55/3e88/3)
Since this was the exponent of
e, our final limit is:
L=55/3e88/3
Breaking down the powers,
88/3=64⋅82/3 and
55/3=5⋅52/3. Thus, the final result is:
L=5e64(58)2/3
