Answer
0
Explanation
Solution
Let, f1(x)=(1−x2), f2(x)=sinx and f3(x)=cos2x
Now, f1(x)=f1(−x), f2(x)=−f2(−x) and f3(x)=f(−x)
∴ I=∫−ππf(x)dx=∫−ππ[f1(x).f2(x).f3(x)]dx
= −∫−ππ[f1(−x).f2(−x).f3(−x)]dx
∴ I=0
(6)∫02af(x)dx=∫0af(x)dx+∫0a f(2a−x)dxIn particular, ∫02af(x)dx={0,iff(2a−x)=−f(x)2∫0af(x)dx,iff(2a−x)=f(x) It is generally used to make half the upper limit.
