JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2021 - 16th March Morning Shift - No. 16)

Let f : R $$ \to $$ R be a continuous function such that f(x) + f(x + 1) = 2, for all x$$\in$$R.

If $${I_1} = \int\limits_0^8 {f(x)dx} $$ and $${I_2} = \int\limits_{ - 1}^3 {f(x)dx} $$, then the value of I1 + 2I2 is equal to ____________.
Answer
16

Explanation

$$f(x) + f(x + 1) = 2$$ .... (i)

$$x \to (x + 1)$$

$$f(x + 1) + f(x + 2) = 2$$ .... (ii)

by (i) & (ii)

$$f(x) - f(x + 2) = 0$$

$$f(x + 2) = f(x)$$

$$ \therefore $$ f(x) is periodic with T = 2

$${I_1} = \int_0^{2 \times 4} {f(x)dx} = 4\int_0^2 {f(x)dx} $$

$${I_2} = \int_{ - 1}^3 {f(x)dx} = \int_0^4 {f(x + 1)dx} = \int_0^4 {(2 - f(x))dx} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${I_2} = 8 - 2\int_0^2 {f(x)dx} $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${I_2} = 8 - $$$${{{I_1}} \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${I_1} + 2{I_2} = 16$$
