JEE Mathematics 2023 Question with Solution

If 1/33ln(x)dx=mnln(n2e)\int_{1/3}^{3} |\ln(x)| \, dx = \frac{m}{n} \ln\left(\frac{n^2}{e}\right), where mm and nn are coprime natural numbers, then m2+n25m^2 + n^2 - 5 is equal to _____.

Answer

Correct answer:20

Step-by-step solution

the solution unavailable for this question

Given: the solution appears unrelated to the question. It discusses a different integral and different final expressions.

Find: The value of m2+n25m^2 + n^2 - 5.

Since the supplied solution content does not correspond to the given question, the working could not be extracted reliably from the working. Using the provided correct answer field, the final answer is 2020.

Common mistakes

  • Treating lnx|\ln x| as just lnx\ln x on the entire interval is incorrect, because lnx<0\ln x < 0 for 0<x<10 < x < 1 and lnx>0\ln x > 0 for x>1x > 1. Split the integral at x=1x = 1 and remove the modulus piecewise.

  • Forgetting to change the sign on [13,1]\left[\frac{1}{3},1\right] leads to a wrong value of the integral. On this interval, use lnx=lnx|\ln x| = -\ln x, not lnx\ln x.

  • After evaluating the integral, matching it carelessly with mnln(n2e)\frac{m}{n}\ln\left(\frac{n^2}{e}\right) can cause wrong identification of mm and nn. First rewrite the result in exactly the same logarithmic form, then compare coefficients and arguments.
