JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 7.2 definite integral
A value of \(\alpha \) such that \(\int\limits_\alpha ^{\alpha + 1} {\frac{{dx}}{{\left( {x + \alpha } \right)\left( {x + \alpha + 1} \right)}} = {{\log }_e}\left( {\frac{9}{8}} \right)} \) is
- A \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
- B \(-2\)
- C \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- D \(2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(-2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\int_{\alpha}^{\alpha+1} \frac{d x}{(x+\alpha)(x+\alpha+1)}=\log _{e}\left(\frac{9}{8}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow \int_{\alpha}^{\alpha+1} \frac{(x+\alpha+1)-(x+\alpha)}{(x+\alpha)(x+\alpha+1)} d x=\log _{e}\left(\frac{9}{8}\right)\)…
