Question

Let $f : \mathbf{R} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}$ be a function such that $f(x) + 3f\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \sin x$, $x \in \mathbf{R}$. Let the maximum value of $f$ on $\mathbf{R}$ be $\alpha$. If the area of the region bounded by the curves $g(x) = x^{2}$ and $h(x) = \beta x^{3}, \beta > 0$, is $\alpha^{2}$, then $30\beta^{3}$ is equal to ___________.

Solving the Functional Equation

We are given the functional equation:

$ f(x) + 3f\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \sin x \quad \quad (1) $

Substitute $x$ with $\frac{\pi}{2} - x$:

$ f\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) + 3f\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right)\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) $

$ f\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) + 3f(x) = \cos x \quad \quad (2) $

From equation (2), we get $f\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \cos x - 3f(x)$. Substitute this into equation (1):

$ f(x) + 3(\cos x - 3f(x)) = \sin x $

$ f(x) + 3\cos x - 9f(x) = \sin x $

$ -8f(x) = \sin x - 3\cos x $

$ f(x) = \frac{3\cos x - \sin x}{8} $

Finding the Maximum Value ($\alpha$)

The function is $f(x) = \frac{3\cos x - \sin x}{8}$.

To find the maximum value, we consider the numerator $3\cos x - \sin x$. This is in the form $a\cos x + b\sin x$, where $a=3$ and $b=-1$. The maximum value of this form is $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$.

Maximum value of $3\cos x - \sin x = \sqrt{3^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 1} = \sqrt{10}$.

Therefore, the maximum value of $f(x)$ is:

$ \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{10}}{8} $

Calculating the Area Between Curves

The curves are $g(x) = x^2$ and $h(x) = \beta x^3$, with $\beta > 0$. First, find the intersection points:

$ x^2 = \beta x^3 $

$ x^2 - \beta x^3 = 0 $

$ x^2(1 - \beta x) = 0 $

The intersection points are $x=0$ and $x = \frac{1}{\beta}$.

Between $x=0$ and $x=\frac{1}{\beta}$, $x^2$ is the upper curve (since $x^2 > \beta x^3$ for $0 < x < \frac{1}{\beta}$ because $1 > \beta x$).

The area is given by the integral:

$ \text{Area} = \int_{0}^{1/\beta} (x^2 - \beta x^3) dx $

Evaluate the integral:

$ \text{Area} = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{\beta x^4}{4} \right]_{0}^{1/\beta} $

$ \text{Area} = \left( \frac{(1/\beta)^3}{3} - \frac{\beta (1/\beta)^4}{4} \right) - (0 - 0) $

$ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{3\beta^3} - \frac{1}{4\beta^3} = \frac{4 - 3}{12\beta^3} = \frac{1}{12\beta^3} $

Relating Area to $\alpha$ and Finding $\beta$

We are given that the Area = $\alpha^2$. First, calculate $\alpha^2$:

$ \alpha^2 = \left(\frac{\sqrt{10}}{8}\right)^2 = \frac{10}{64} = \frac{5}{32} $

Now, equate the calculated area to $\alpha^2$:

$ \frac{1}{12\beta^3} = \frac{5}{32} $

Solve for $\beta^3$:

$ 12\beta^3 = \frac{32}{5} $

$ \beta^3 = \frac{32}{5 \times 12} = \frac{32}{60} = \frac{8}{15} $

Final Calculation

We need to find the value of $30\beta^3$. Substitute the value of $\beta^3$ we found:

$ 30\beta^3 = 30 \times \frac{8}{15} $

$ 30\beta^3 = \frac{30}{15} \times 8 = 2 \times 8 = 16 $
