∫(exlog⁡a+ealog⁡x)dx\int (e^{x\log a} + e^{a\log x}) dx is equal to (where a>1a > 1)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Given: ∫(exlog⁡a+ealog⁡x)dx\int (e^{x\log a} + e^{a\log x}) dx

For the first term exlog⁡ae^{x\log a}:

Using the property nlog⁡b=log⁡bnn\log b = \log b^n:

xlog⁡a=log⁡axx\log a = \log a^x

Therefore:

exlog⁡a=elog⁡ax=axe^{x\log a} = e^{\log a^x} = a^x


For the second term ealog⁡xe^{a\log x}:

alog⁡x=log⁡xaa\log x = \log x^a

Therefore:

ealog⁡x=elog⁡xa=xae^{a\log x} = e^{\log x^a} = x^a


The integral simplifies to:

∫(ax+xa)dx\int (a^x + x^a) dx


For ∫axdx\int a^x dx:

∫axdx=axlog⁡a+C1\int a^x dx = \frac{a^x}{\log a} + C_1


For ∫xadx\int x^a dx:

∫xadx=xa+1a+1+C2\int x^a dx = \frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1} + C_2


Combining the results:

∫(ax+xa)dx=axlog⁡a+xa+1a+1+C\int (a^x + x^a) dx = \frac{a^x}{\log a} + \frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1} + C

where CC is an arbitrary constant.
