me also gettin jus one ans...
diffrentiate by newton leibnitz...
f(x)=1+(-xf(x))
(1+x)f(x)=1
put x=1
ans 1/2

yup exactly i did by same method..

differentiated both sides...

If 0∫x f(t)dt = x + x∫1 t f(t)dt , Find f(1).

0∫x f(t)dt = x + 0∫1 t f(t)dt - 0∫x t f(t)dt

thus, 0∫x (1+t)f(t)dt = x + 0∫1 t f(t)dt

Take derivative wrt x

(1+x)f(x)=1

f(x)=1/(1+x)

Tx sky for the hint ;)

Why lebinitz!!!

I hate that thing when it comes in a JEE question... This does not need that theorem! :(

sry bhaiya haame to min.. amt of theorams ate hain unhi ka use karna padta hai...

arrey sid but i din use the theorem at all..

If you look closely u din either.. (only lebinitz made u belive that you did!)

If g(x)=a∫x f(t)dt

then isnt g'(x)=f(x)??

That is all that i have used...

RHS is a+ constant!

I am really sorry for the trouble!!! I understood where I was making a mistake.I'll tell you what went wrong.This is how I was getting 2 answers :

a) f(x)=1-xf(x) ⇒ f(x)=1/(1+x) ∴ f(0)=1

b) 0∫x f(x-t)dt = x + x∫1 (1+x-t) f(1+x-t)dt f(0)=1-f(1) ⇒ f(1)=1-f(0)

∴From a) only, we get f(1)=1/(1+1)=1/2
& from b) & a), we get f(1)=1-1=0

" BUT ".....the big mistake lies in part b).
Actually, (1+x-t)f(1+x-t) cannot be differntiated as I have done.I had taken 'x' to be a const. while differentiating...which is WRONG!!!

Again,sorry for the trouble!!!It's my mistake!!
