Putnam TNG - Evaluation of Integrals
1: (a) Evaluate the integrals
In = 0∫π sin(nx)/sin(x) dx and Jn = 0∫π(sin(nx)/sin(x))2 dx, for n = 1, 2, 3 . . . .
(b) Evaluate the integrals
In = -π∫π (sin(nx)/(1 + 2-x) sin(x)) dx, for n = 1, 2, 3 . . . .
2: Evaluate 0∫∞(arctan(πx) - arctan(x)/x)dx.
3: Let H be the unit hemisphere {(x, y, z): x2 + y2 + z2 = 1, z ≥ 0}, C the unit circle {(x, y, 0): x2 + y2 = 1}, and P the regular pentagon inscribed in C. Determine the surface area of that portion of H lying over the planar region inside P, and write your answer in the form A sin α + B cos β, where A, B, α, β are real numbers.
4: Let ||u|| denote the distance from the real number u to the nearest integer (for example ||2.8|| = .2 = ||3.2||). For positive integers n, let
an = 1/n 1∫n ||n/x||dx
Determine limn→∞ an. You may assume the identity
(2/1)(2/3)(4/3)(4/5)(6/5)(6/7)(8/7)(8/9)· · · = π/2.
5: Let f be a twice differentiable function on [0, 2] such that f(x) > 0 and f''(x) ≥ 0 for all x and
0∫1 f(t) dt · 1∫2 1/f(t) dt ≤ 1.
Prove that
0∫2 f(t) dt ≤ 2f(2).
6: Show that the improper integral limB→∞ 0∫B sin(x) sin(x2) dx converges.
7: Let f(x) be a continuous function on the interval I = [0, 1] with the property xf(y) + yf(x) ≤ 1
for x, y in I. Prove that
0∫1f(x) dx ≤ π/4
and find a function f(x) for which equality is obtained.
