Correct Answer :

Option A

1 2 ( e 2 + e 3 - e - 2 - e - 3 )

Solution :

To find the value of the given integral, we first state the correct answer clearly:
The correct option is:
1 2 ( e 2 + e 3 - e - 2 - e - 3 )

Step-by-Step Explanation:

The given integral is:
I = 0 3 e x + e - x [ x ] ! d x
where [x] represents the greatest integer function.

Since the value of [x] changes at every integer value, we can partition the interval of integration [0,3] into three sub-intervals: [0,1), [1,2), and [2,3].

Let's determine the value of [x]! in each of these intervals:
1. For 0x<1, we have [x]=0, so [x]!=0!=1.
2. For 1x<2, we have [x]=1, so [x]!=1!=1.
3. For 2x<3, we have [x]=2, so [x]!=2!=2.

Now, we split the integral using these intervals:
I = 0 1 e x + e - x 1 d x + 1 2 e x + e - x 1 d x + 2 3 e x + e - x 2 d x

Combining the first two integrals, we get:
I = 0 2 ( e x + e - x ) d x + 1 2 2 3 ( e x + e - x ) d x

Integrating the general term:
( e x + e - x ) d x = e x - e - x

Applying the integration limits to both parts:
I = [ e x - e - x ] 0 2 + 1 2 [ e x - e - x ] 2 3

Evaluating the limits:
I = ( e 2 - e - 2 ) - ( e 0 - e 0 ) + 1 2 ( e 3 - e - 3 - e 2 + e - 2 )
Since e0-e0=1-1=0, we have:
I = e 2 - e - 2 + 1 2 e 3 - 1 2 e - 3 - 1 2 e 2 + 1 2 e - 2

Grouping the terms together:
I = ( 1 - 1 2 ) e 2 + 1 2 e 3 + ( 1 2 - 1 ) e - 2 - 1 2 e - 3
I = 1 2 e 2 + 1 2 e 3 - 1 2 e - 2 - 1 2 e - 3

Factoring out 12:
I = 1 2 ( e 2 + e 3 - e - 2 - e - 3 )
