  1. $2\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\text{f(x)}\text{dx}$
  2. $0$
  3. $\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}+\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})\text{dx}$
  4. $\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}+\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})\text{dx}$

Answer

  1. $\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}+\int\limits^{\text{a}}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})\text{dx}$

Solution:

$\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}+\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})\text{dx}$

According to the additivity property of integrals,

$\int\limits^\text{b}_\text{a}\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}=\int\limits^\text{c}_\text{a}\text{f}(\text{x})+\int\limits^\text{b}_\text{c}\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx},$ where a < c < b

Using this property,

$\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}=\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}+\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}\ ....(\text{i})$

Now, consider the integral, $\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}$

Let x = 2a - t Then dx = d (2a - t), dx = - dt

Also, x = a, t = a and x = 2a, t = 0

Therefore, $\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_\text{a}\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}=-\int\limits^0_\text{a}\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{t})\text{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \int\limits^{2\text{a}}_\text{a}\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}=\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{t})\text{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \int\limits^{2\text{a}}_\text{a}\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}=\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})\text{dx}$

Substituting this in equation (i) we get,

$\int\limits^{2\text{a}}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}=\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx}+\int\limits^\text{a}_0\text{f}(2\text{a}-\text{x})\text{dx}$
