Limit Evaluation of Definite Integral Involving Differentiable Function

Let f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a differentiable function satisfying f(0)=0f(0) = 0, f(π2)=3f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 3, and f′(0)=1f'(0) = 1. Define g(x)=∫xπ2[f′(t)csc⁡t−cot⁡tcsc⁡tf(t)]dtg(x) = \int_{x}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left[ f'(t) \csc t - \cot t \csc t f(t) \right] dt for x∈(0,π2]x \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]. Determine the value of lim⁡x→0g(x)\lim_{x \to 0} g(x).

Step-by-Step Solution

To evaluate the limit lim⁡x→0g(x)\lim_{x \to 0} g(x), we start by simplifying the function g(x)g(x) defined as:

g(x)=∫xπ2[f′(t)csc⁡t−cot⁡tcsc⁡tf(t)]dtg(x) = \int_{x}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left[ f'(t) \csc t - \cot t \csc t f(t) \right] dt

Notice that the integrand can be recognized as the derivative of the product f(t)csc⁡tf(t) \csc t with respect to tt:

ddt(f(t)csc⁡t)=f′(t)csc⁡t+f(t)(−csc⁡tcot⁡t)=f′(t)csc⁡t−cot⁡tcsc⁡tf(t)\frac{d}{dt}\left( f(t) \csc t \right) = f'(t) \csc t + f(t) (-\csc t \cot t) = f'(t) \csc t - \cot t \csc t f(t)

Thus, the integral becomes:

g(x)=∫xπ2ddt(f(t)csc⁡t)dtg(x) = \int_{x}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{d}{dt} \left( f(t) \csc t \right) dt

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

g(x)=[f(t)csc⁡t]xπ2=f(π2)csc⁡(π2)−f(x)csc⁡xg(x) = \left[ f(t) \csc t \right]_{x}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} = f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \csc\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) - f(x) \csc x

Given that f(π2)=3f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 3 and csc⁡(π2)=1\csc\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 1, we have:

g(x)=3⋅1−f(x)sin⁡x=3−f(x)sin⁡xg(x) = 3 \cdot 1 - \frac{f(x)}{\sin x} = 3 - \frac{f(x)}{\sin x}

Now, taking the limit as x→0x \to 0:

lim⁡x→0g(x)=lim⁡x→0(3−f(x)sin⁡x)=3−lim⁡x→0f(x)sin⁡x\lim_{x \to 0} g(x) = \lim_{x \to 0} \left( 3 - \frac{f(x)}{\sin x} \right) = 3 - \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{\sin x}

The limit lim⁡x→0f(x)sin⁡x\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{\sin x} can be rewritten by dividing the numerator and denominator by xx:

lim⁡x→0f(x)sin⁡x=lim⁡x→0f(x)−f(0)xsin⁡xx\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{\sin x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{f(x) - f(0)}{x}}{\frac{\sin x}{x}}

Since f(0)=0f(0) = 0 and ff is differentiable with f′(0)=1f'(0) = 1, and lim⁡x→0sin⁡xx=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1:

lim⁡x→0f(x)sin⁡x=f′(0)1=1\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{\sin x} = \frac{f'(0)}{1} = 1

Substituting this back into our expression for lim⁡x→0g(x)\lim_{x \to 0} g(x):

lim⁡x→0g(x)=3−1=2\lim_{x \to 0} g(x) = 3 - 1 = 2
