Question:

Consider the integral
\(I = \int_0^{10}\frac{[x]e^{[x]}}{e^{x-1}}\,dx\),
where \([x]\) denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to \(x\). Then the value of \(I\) is equal to :

Show Hint

Split the integral over unit intervals where \([x] = n\) is constant.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Split \([0,10]\) into \([n, n+1)\), \(n = 0,\dots,9\), where \([x] = n\):
\(I = \sum_{n=0}^{9} n e^{n}\int_n^{n+1} e^{1-x}\,dx\).
\(\int_n^{n+1} e^{1-x}\,dx = e\left(e^{-n} - e^{-n-1}\right) = e^{-n}(e - 1)\).
So each term is \(n e^n\cdot e^{-n}(e-1) = n(e-1)\).
\(I = (e-1)\sum_{n=0}^{9} n = 45(e-1)\).
Answer: (1) \(45\,(e - 1)\)
