Example 4If∫k−kf(x)dx= 2∫k0f(x)dxfor all values ofk, then which of the following could be the
graph off? (See Figure 12.3-1.)yyyyyx xxxx0(A) (B)(D) (E)(C)0000Figure 12.3-1
∫k−kf(x)dx=∫ 0−kf(x)dx+∫k0f(x)dxSince∫k−kf(x)dx= 2∫k0f(x)dx, then∫k0f(x)dx=∫ 0−kf(x)dx.Thusfis an even function. Choice (C).12.4 Rapid Review
