MCQ
The value of $\int_{ - a}^a {\frac{1}{{x + {x^3}}}dx} $ is
  • $0$
  • B
    $\int_0^a {\frac{1}{{1 + {x^6}}}\;} dx$
  • C
    $2\int_0^a {\frac{1}{{1 + {x^3}}}\;} dx$
  • D
    $\int_0^a {\frac{1}{{1 + {{(a - x)}^3}}}\;} dx$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
a
(a) Since $\int_{ - a}^a {f(x)} \;dx = 0$, 

if $f( - x) = - f(x)$

Therefore, $\int_{ - a}^a {\frac{{dx}}{{x + {x^3}}}} = 0$.
