The value of _a^b x^7+ x x d x where a+b=0 is
Options
- A2 ~b - a ( b - a )
- Ba+3 b (b-a)
- Ca -( b - a ) b
- D0
Correct answer
D. 0
Step-by-step solution
aligned & a+b=0 a=-b & I= _ -b ^b x^7+ x x aligned Using property aligned & _ -a ^a f(x) d x= cases ₀^ 2 a f(x) d x & ; if f(x) is even 0 & ; if f(x) is odd cases & f(x)= x^7+ x x & f(-x)= (-x)^7+ (-x) (-x) = -x^7- x x & =- [ x^7+ x x ] aligned =- f ( x ) So f(x) is odd hence I =0
