(exloga+ealogx)dx\int (e^{x\log a} + e^{a\log x}) dx is equal to (where a>1a > 1)

Solution

Correct Option: 1

Given: (exloga+ealogx)dx\int (e^{x\log a} + e^{a\log x}) dx

For the first term exlogae^{x\log a}:

Using the property nlogb=logbnn\log b = \log b^n:

xloga=logaxx\log a = \log a^x

Therefore:

exloga=elogax=axe^{x\log a} = e^{\log a^x} = a^x


For the second term ealogxe^{a\log x}:

alogx=logxaa\log x = \log x^a

Therefore:

ealogx=elogxa=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=axloga+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=axloga+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.
