MCQ
Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ be a continuous function satisfying $f(x)+\int \limits_0^x t f(t) d t+x^2=0$,for all $x \in R$. Then
  • A
    $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=2$
  • $\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x)=-2$
  • C
    $f(x)$ has more than one point in common with the $X$-axis
  • D
    $f(x)$ is an odd function

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x)=-2$
b
(b)

We have,

$f(x)+\int_0^x t f(t) d t+x^2=0$

On differentiating, we get

$f^{\prime}(x)+x f(x)+2 x =0$

$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x) =-x(f(x)+2)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)+2} =-x$

On integrating, we get

$\quad \log (f(x)+2)=-\frac{x^2}{2}+C$

$\Rightarrow \quad f(x)=A e^{-x^2 / 2}-2$

$\Rightarrow \quad f(0)=0=A-2 \Rightarrow A=2$

$\therefore \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=-2$

$\qquad \quad \lim ^{-x^2 / 2}-2$

$\Rightarrow(x) \text { is an even function. }$

$f(x) \text { intersect } X \text {-axis at one point }(0,0)$

$\therefore \text { Option (b) is correct. }$
