JEE Main 2023 Mathematics question on Definite Integrals and Areas
If f(x)=22x+222x,x∈R, then f(20231)+f(20232)+…+f(20232022) is equal to
A.
2010
B.
2011
C.
1011
D.
1010
Show answer and solution
Correct option: C
Solution
The key property is f(x) + f(1-x) = 1, since f(x) + f(1-x) = 2^(2x)/(2^(2x)+2) + 2^(2-2x)/(2^(2-2x)+2). Multiplying numerator and denominator of the second term by 2^(2x) gives 2/(2+2^(2x)), so the sum is (2^(2x)+2)/(2^(2x)+2) = 1.
The sum has 2022 terms. Pairing f(k/2023) with f((2023-k)/2023) gives 1011 pairs, each summing to 1, so the total is 1011.
