If $\int_{-1}^1 f(x) d x=0$, then
A
$f (-x)= f (x)$
✓
$f (-x)=- f (x)$
C
$f (x)=2 f (x)$
D
$f (-x)=2 f (x)$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$f (-x)=- f (x)$
(B) $\int_{-1}^1 f (x) d x=\int_{-1}^0 f (x) d x+\int_0^1 f (x) d x$ In $1^{\text {st }}$ integral, put $x=- t \Rightarrow d x=- dt$ $\therefore \quad \int_{-1}^0 f (x) d x=-\int_1^0 f (- t ) dt$ $\begin{array}{l}=\int_0^1 f(-t) d t \\ =\int_0^1 f(-x) d x\end{array}$ $\therefore \quad \int_{-1}^1 f (x) d x=\int_0^1 f (-x) d x+\int_0^1 f (x) d x$ $=0$, if $f (-x)=- f (x)$
