If 6∫₁ˣf(t) dt=3xf(x)-x³ for all x≥ 1, then the value of f(2) is ________. f:[1,∞)→[2,∞),f(1)=2f:[1,\infty) \to [2,\infty),\quad f(1) = 2 6∫1xf(t) dt=3xf(x)−x3,x≥16\int_{1}^{x} f(t)\,dt = 3x f(x) - x^{3},\qquad x \geq 1 To find: f(2)\text{To find: } f(2) Plan: 1. differentiate both sides\text{Plan: }1.\ \text{differentiate both sides} 2. get a linear ODE f′−fx=x2.\ \text{get a linear ODE } f' - \dfrac{f}{x} = x 3. use f(1)=2⇒f(2)3.\ \text{use } f(1)=2 \Rightarrow f(2) ddx ⁣[6∫1xf(t) dt]=6f(x)\dfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[6\int_{1}^{x} f(t)\,dt\right] = 6f(x) ddx ⁣[3xf(x)−x3]=3f(x)+3xf′(x)−3x2\dfrac{d}{dx}\!\left[3x f(x) - x^{3}\right] = 3f(x) + 3x f'(x) - 3x^{2} 6f(x)=3f(x)+3xf′(x)−3x26f(x) = 3f(x) + 3x f'(x) - 3x^{2} f(x)=xf′(x)−x2⇒xf′(x)−f(x)=x2f(x) = x f'(x) - x^{2} \Rightarrow x f'(x) - f(x) = x^{2} f′(x)−1xf(x)=xf'(x) - \dfrac{1}{x} f(x) = x Linear: f′+Pf=Q,P=−1x\text{Linear: } f' + P f = Q,\qquad P = -\dfrac{1}{x} μ=e∫P dx=e−ln⁡x=1x\mu = e^{\int P\,dx} = e^{-\ln x} = \dfrac{1}{x} ddx ⁣(fx)=1\dfrac{d}{dx}\!\left(\dfrac{f}{x}\right) = 1 fx=x+C\dfrac{f}{x} = x + C f(x)=x2+Cxf(x) = x^{2} + Cx f(1)=1+C=2⇒C=1f(1) = 1 + C = 2 \Rightarrow C = 1 f(x)=x2+xf(x) = x^{2} + x f(2)=22+2=4+2=6f(2) = 2^{2} + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 6\boxed{6}
