Problem Statement

Let f(x)f(x) be a continuous function defined on the interval [0,)[0,\infty) satisfying the following condition:When 2n11x<2n1,f(x)=2n1(x+1)22n2  +  2n11,\text{When } 2^{\,n-1}-1 \le x < 2^{\,n}-1,\quad f(x) = \sqrt{\,2^{\,n-1}(x+1) - 2^{\,2n-2}} \;+\; 2^{\,n-1} - 1,for n=1,2,3,n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots.Define a sequence {an}\{a_n\} by an=2n11a_n = 2^{\,n-1} - 1 for all natural numbers nn. Find the natural number nn such thatanan+1f(x)dx=14073748332216323.\int_{a_n}^{a_{n+1}} f(x)\, dx = \frac{1407374833221632}{3}.oindent

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] I'll derive the integral formula symbolically, then use Python to search for the natural number n such that the integral from a_n to a_{n+1} equals the given value. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] from fractions import Fraction

target = Fraction(1407374833221632, 3)

def I_n(n): # I_n = (5/3)2^{2n-2} - 2^{n-1} from math import pow return Fraction(5,3) * (2*(2*n-2)) - 2**(n-1)

solutions = [] for n in range(1, 200): if I_n(n) == target: solutions.append(n)

print("Solutions n:", solutions)

Also directly solve 2^{n-1}(5*2^{n-1}-3) = 1407374833221632

M = 1407374833221632 candidates = [] for n in range(1, 200): k = 2**(n-1) if k*(5*k - 3) == M: candidates.append(n) print("Candidates from direct equation:", candidates)

Tool Output
[PYTHON OUTPUT] Solutions n: [25] Candidates from direct equation: [25] [/PYTHON OUTPUT]
Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] The Python computation found that the unique natural number satisfying the integral condition is n=25. [/THOUGHT] \boxed{25}
