Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Given, af(x)+bf(1/x)=1x5

Replacing x by 1/x in Eq. (i), we get

af(1/x)+bf(x)=x5

On multiplying Eq. (i) by a and Eq. (ii) by b, we get

a2f(x)+abf(1/x)=a1x5abf(1/x)+b2f(x)=b(x5)

On subtracting Eq. (iv) from Eq. (iii), we get

(a2b2)f(x)=axbx5a+5bf(x)=1(a2b2)axbx5a+5b12f(x)dx=1(a2b2)12axbx5a+5bdx=1(a2b2)alog|x|b2x25(ab)x12=1(a2b2)[alog22b10(ab)=1(a2b2)alog25a+72b
