The value of _ -2 ² (a x³+b x+c ) d x depends on the
Options
- Avalue of b
- Bvalue of c
- Cvalue of a
- Dvalues of a and b
Correct answer
B. value of c
Step-by-step solution
aligned Let I &= _ -2 ² (a x³+b x+c ) d x &= _ -2 ² (a(-2+2-x)³+b(-2+2) x+c ) d x [ _ a ^ b f(x) d x= _ a ^ b f(a+b-x) d x ] I= _ -2 ² (-a x³-b x+c ) d x aligned On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get aligned 2 I &= _ -2 ² 2 c d x I &=4 c aligned So, value of I depends on the value of c .
