kyotsu-test 2014 QCourse2-IV-Q2 Evaluate a Closed-Form Expression Using the Reduction Formula View
Given the function in $x$
$$f _ { n } ( x ) = \sin ^ { n } x \quad ( n = 1,2,3 , \cdots ) ,$$
answer the following questions.
(1) Consider the cases in which the equality
$$\lim _ { x \rightarrow 0 } \frac { a - x ^ { 2 } - \left( b - x ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } } { f _ { n } ( x ) } = c$$
holds for three real numbers $a , b$ and $c$.
(i) We have $a = b$.
(ii) When $n = 2$, if $c = 6$, then $b = \frac { \mathbf { P } } { \mathbf { Q } }$.
(iii) When $n = 4$, then $b = \frac { \mathbf { R } } { \mathbf { S } }$ and $c = - \mathbf { T }$.
(2) For this $f _ { n } ( x )$, consider the definite integral
$$I _ { n } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { \pi } { 2 } } f _ { n } ( x ) \sin 2 x \, d x \quad ( n = 1,2,3 , \cdots )$$
When the integral is calculated, we have
$$I _ { n } = \frac { \mathbf { U } } { n + \mathbf { V } } .$$
Hence we obtain
$$\lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } \left( I _ { n - 1 } + I _ { n } + I _ { n + 1 } + \cdots + I _ { 2 n - 2 } \right) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { \mathbf { W } } \frac { \mathbf { X } } { \mathbf { Y } + x } \, dx = \log \mathbf { Z }$$
kyotsu-test 2018 QCourse2-IV Compute a Base Case or Specific Value of a Parametric Integral View
Let
$$a _ { n } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x ^ { 2n } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x \quad ( n = 0,1,2 , \cdots )$$
We are to find the value of the limit $\lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } \frac { a _ { n } } { a _ { n - 1 } }$.
(1) First, let us find $a _ { 0 }$ and $a _ { 1 }$. Since the area of a circle with the radius 1 is $\pi$, we see that
$$a _ { 0 } = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x = \frac { \pi } { \mathbf { A } }$$
Next, the partial integral method applied to $a _ { 1 }$ gives
$$\begin{aligned} a _ { 1 } & = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x ^ { 2 } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x \\ & = - \frac { \mathbf { B } } { \mathbf { C } } \left[ x \left( 1 - x ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \frac { \mathbf { D } } { \mathbf { E } } } \right] _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } + \frac { \mathbf { F } } { \mathbf { G } } \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \left( 1 - x ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \frac { \mathbf { H } } { \mathbf{I} } } d x \\ & = \frac { \mathbf { J } } { \mathbf { K } } \left\{ \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x - \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x ^ { \mathbf { L } } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x \right\} \end{aligned}$$
Thus we have
$$a _ { 1 } = \frac { \pi } { \mathbf { M N } } .$$
(2) For $\mathbf { O } \sim \mathbf { U }$ in the following sentences, choose the correct answer from among choices (0) $\sim$ (9) below.
When the partial integral method is applied to $a _ { n }$ in the same way as for $a _ { 1 }$, we get
$$a _ { n } = \frac { \mathbf { O } } { \mathbf { P } } \left\{ \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x ^ { \mathbf { Q } } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x - \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } x ^ { \mathbf { R } } \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \, d x \right\} \quad ( n = 1,2,3 , \cdots )$$
Hence we have
$$( \mathbf { S } ) a _ { n } = ( \mathbf { T } ) a _ { n - 1 } ,$$
and so
$$\lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } \frac { a _ { n } } { a _ { n - 1 } } = \mathbf { U }$$
