Steps only

Let I=∫₀ᵃf(x)g(x)dx. Substitute x=a−t; the interval reverses back to 0 to a, and the symmetry gives I=∫₀ᵃf(x)g(a−x)dx.

Add the two equal expressions: 2I=∫₀ᵃf(x)[g(x)+g(a−x)]dx.

Use g(x)+g(a−x)=4 to get 2I=4∫₀ᵃf(x)dx, so I=2∫₀ᵃf(x)dx.

Answer

π (choice C).

Question 21

Choose the value of ∫ from 0 to π/2 log((4+3sin x)/(4+3cos x)) dx.

Steps only

Replace x by π/2−x. Sine and cosine swap, so the logarithm becomes log((4+3cos x)/(4+3sin x)), the negative of the original integrand.

The substitution leaves the interval unchanged, so the integral equals its own negative.

Answer

0 (choice C).
