Correct answer:B

Step-by-step solution

Standard Method

Given: 3(e1)2e12x2e[x]+[x3]dx\frac{3(e-1)^2}{e} \int_{1}^{2} x^2 e^{[x] + [x^3]} \, dx

Find: The value of the given expression.

For x[1,2)x \in [1,2), we have [x]=1[x] = 1 and since x3[1,8)x^3 \in [1,8), we get [x3][x^3] changing with xx. The standard evaluation is by splitting the interval where [x3][x^3] remains constant:

12x2e[x]+[x3]dx=n=17n3n+13x2e1+ndx\int_1^2 x^2 e^{[x]+[x^3]} \, dx = \sum_{n=1}^{7} \int_{\sqrt[3]{n}}^{\sqrt[3]{n+1}} x^2 e^{1+n} \, dx

Thus,

=n=17en+1n3n+13x2dx= \sum_{n=1}^{7} e^{n+1} \int_{\sqrt[3]{n}}^{\sqrt[3]{n+1}} x^2 \, dx

Now,

x2dx=x33\int x^2 \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3}

so

n3n+13x2dx=(n+1)n3=13\int_{\sqrt[3]{n}}^{\sqrt[3]{n+1}} x^2 \, dx = \frac{(n+1)-n}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

Hence,

12x2e[x]+[x3]dx=13n=17en+1=13(e2+e3++e8)\int_1^2 x^2 e^{[x]+[x^3]} \, dx = \frac{1}{3} \sum_{n=1}^{7} e^{n+1} = \frac{1}{3}(e^2 + e^3 + \cdots + e^8)

This is a geometric series:

e2+e3++e8=e2e71e1 e^2 + e^3 + \cdots + e^8 = e^2 \cdot \frac{e^7 - 1}{e - 1}

Therefore,

12x2e[x]+[x3]dx=13e2e71e1\int_1^2 x^2 e^{[x]+[x^3]} \, dx = \frac{1}{3} \cdot e^2 \cdot \frac{e^7 - 1}{e - 1}

Multiplying by 3(e1)2e\frac{3(e-1)^2}{e},

3(e1)2e12x2e[x]+[x3]dx=3(e1)2e13e2e71e1\frac{3(e-1)^2}{e} \int_1^2 x^2 e^{[x]+[x^3]} \, dx = \frac{3(e-1)^2}{e} \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot e^2 \cdot \frac{e^7 - 1}{e - 1} =e(e1)(e71)= e(e-1)(e^7 - 1) =e8e= e^8 - e

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Common mistakes

  • Taking [x3][x^3] as constant on the whole interval [1,2][1,2] is incorrect because x3x^3 runs from 11 to 88. Split the integral where [x3][x^3] is constant.

  • Using [x]=x[x]=x on [1,2][1,2] is wrong. For x[1,2)x \in [1,2), the greatest integer part is [x]=1[x]=1, not xx.](streamdown:incomplete-link)

  • Forgetting the substitution hidden in x2dx\int x^2 \, dx over intervals [n3,n+13][\sqrt[3]{n},\sqrt[3]{n+1}] leads to messy algebra. Use x33\frac{x^3}{3} directly so each piece contributes exactly 13\frac{1}{3}.
