Q1 FREE PREVIEW
\(\int_a^b f(x) d x\) is equal to :
✓ Correct answer: b)
\(\int_a^b f(a+b-x) d x\)
Explanation
Let \(x=a+b-u\).
\(dx=-du.\)
When \(x=a, u=b\);
when \(x=b, u=a\).
\({\int }_{a}^{b}f\left(x\right)dx={\int }_{u=b}^{u=a}f\left(a+b-u\right)\left(-du\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow {\int }_{a}^{b}f\left(x\right)dx={\int }_{u=a}^{u=b}f\left(a+b-u\right)du\)
Rename \(u\) to \(x\) :
\(\int_a^b f(x) d x=\int_a^b f(a+b-x) d x\).
