Anonymous: its x-f(x)
kvnmurty: where did you find this question? is f(x) a polynomial in x ? or some other ? like exponential function
Anonymous: sir its not given
Anonymous: I will get the solution tomorrow -_-
Anonymous: it was given in my exam .
kvnmurty: which exam
Anonymous: Coaching institution exam --- jee mains (type)
kvnmurty: I got it ...

ANSWERS:  There are two functions.  Irrational functions.
                       f(x) = [x + √(x² - 48) ] / 2   and   [x - √(x² - 48) ] / 2

            ========   PROOF   -=====

We are given a function f(x) , but the definition of f(x) is not known. We have to find that.

We are given that  integral limits from x=0 to x= 1, of  f(x) * (x - f(x)) dx  is equal to 12.   we have to find f(x) such that it is true.

Let us choose a function f(x) such that the product :
       f(x) * [ x - f(x) ] = 12   always and is a constant. 

Then the integrand is always constant. So after integration we get :
       ∫ 12 dx = 12 x .
 Evaluated between x=0 and x= 1, we get the RHS , ie, 12.

====>   So we need to find f(x) such that 
              f(x) * [ x - f(x)  ] = 12
      or,       ( f(x) )² - x * f(x) + 12 = 0

This is a quadratic in f(x) . Ie., f(x) is a variable.  x is a coefficient.
        Roots are:     f(x) =  [ x + √{x² - 48 } ] / 2 

    This is our function.  ANSWER.
==========
Verification:

     f(x)=\frac{x+\sqrt{x^2-48}}{2}\\\\x-f(x)=\frac{x-\sqrt{x^2-48}}{2}\\\\Product=f(x)*(x-f(x))=\frac{(x+\sqrt{x^2-48})(x-\sqrt{x^2-48})}{2*2}\\\\=\frac{x^2-(x^2-48)}{4}=12\\\\So \: \int \limits_{x=0}^{x=1} {f(x)*(x - f(x))} \, dx\\\\=\int \limits_{x=0}^{x=1} 12 \, dx=[12x]_0^1=12 \, \ \ DONE.......

Hope it is clear. I have explained in great detail.

kvnmurty: do you know Integration too ? @durgapal
kvnmurty: and also @addison ? you know Integration too ?
