Question:medium

If \( \int x^3 \sin(3x) dx = \frac{1}{27} [f(x)\cos(3x) + g(x)\sin(3x)] + c \) then f(1)+g(1)=

Show Hint

Tabular integration (the DI method) is extremely efficient for integrals of the form \(\int P(x)f(x)dx\), where P(x) is a polynomial and f(x) is a function that can be repeatedly integrated (like sin, cos, or e^x). Differentiate the polynomial column down to zero, integrate the other column, and sum the diagonal products with alternating signs.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To solve \( \int x^3 \sin(3x) \, dx = \frac{1}{27} [f(x)\cos(3x) + g(x)\sin(3x)] + c \) and find \( f(1) + g(1) \), we can apply the method of integration by parts, which involves using the formula:

\(\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du\)

In our case, choose \( u = x^3 \) and \( dv = \sin(3x)\,dx \). This gives us:

  • \( du = 3x^2 \, dx \)
  • \( v = -\frac{1}{3} \cos(3x) \) (since \( \int \sin(3x) \, dx = -\frac{1}{3} \cos(3x) \))

Applying integration by parts, we get:

\(\int x^3 \sin(3x) \, dx = -\frac{1}{3} x^3 \cos(3x) + \int \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3x^2 \cos(3x) \, dx\)

This simplifies to:

\(-\frac{1}{3} x^3 \cos(3x) + \int x^2 \cos(3x) \, dx\)

We apply integration by parts again to \(\int x^2 \cos(3x) \, dx\), choosing \( u = x^2 \) and \( dv = \cos(3x) \, dx \).

  • \( du = 2x \, dx \)
  • \( v = \frac{1}{3} \sin(3x) \)

Therefore:

\(\int x^2 \cos(3x) \, dx = \frac{1}{3} x^2 \sin(3x) - \int \frac{1}{3} \cdot 2x \sin(3x) \, dx\)

Which simplifies to:

\(\frac{1}{3} x^2 \sin(3x) - \int \frac{2}{3} x \sin(3x) \, dx\)

Applying integration by parts one more time to \(\int x \sin(3x) \, dx\), choose \( u = x \) and \( dv = \sin(3x) \, dx \).

  • \( du = dx \)
  • \( v = -\frac{1}{3} \cos(3x) \)

Applying the integration by parts formula:

\(\int x \sin(3x) \, dx = -\frac{1}{3} x \cos(3x) + \int \frac{1}{3} \cos(3x) \, dx\)

Simplifying gives:

\(-\frac{1}{3} x \cos(3x) + \frac{1}{9} \sin(3x)\)

Collecting all terms and simplifying, the integral is:

\(f(x) = 9x^2 - 6, \quad g(x) = 6x - x^3\)

Therefore, substituting \( x = 1 \) we have:

\(f(1) = 9(1)^2 - 6 = 3\)

\(g(1) = 6(1) - (1)^3 = 5\)

So, \( f(1) + g(1) = 3 + 5 = 8 \).
