Given In=∫1ex19(log∣x∣)ndx,n∈N
⇒In=∫1ex19(logx)ndx,∵ for 1<x<e,x>0
Integrating by using by parts rule, ∫ab(u⋅v)dx=[u∫vdx]ab−∫ab[dxd(u)∫vdx]dx, taking u=\mathrm{log}x&v={x}^{19}, we get
In=[(logx)n∫x19dx]1e−∫1e[dxd(logx)n∫x19dx]dx
⇒In=[(logx)n(20x20)]1e−∫1e[n(logx)n−1×x1×(20x20)]dx
⇒In=[(loge)n(20e20)−0]−∫1e[n(logx)n−1×(20x19)]dx
⇒In=(20e20)−20n∫1ex19(logx)n−1dx
⇒20In=e20−nIn−1
Hence, we get 20I10=e20−10I9...(i) and
20I9=e20−9I8...(ii)
On subtracting the above two equations, we get
20I10−20I9=−10I9+9I8
⇒20I10=10I9+9I8
Given 20I10=αI9+βI8
⇒α=10,β=9 and hence α−β=1.
