OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute y=a-x \[I= \int\limits_{a}^{0}\frac{ f(a-x) }{ f(a-x)+f(x)}*-dx \rightarrow I= \int\limits_{0}^{a}\frac{ (f(a-x) }{ f(a-x)+f(x) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can add the two integrals to get: \[2I=\lim_{0 \rightarrow a}\frac{ f(x)+f(a-x) }{ f(x)+f(a-x) }= a\] solve I to get \[I=\frac{ a }{ 2 }\rightarrow \int\limits_{0}^{a}\frac{ f(x) }{ f(a-x)+f(x) }=\frac{ a }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.dont.get.it.sorry! you said substitute \(y=a-x\)? it doesnt make sense..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude I just wanna notify you that after substitution y=a-x you will get the same integral in terms of y, so just change y to x cause it's just a symbol...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did that make sense now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get the change of limits in the first integral you wrote from \(0\) to \(2\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean \(0\) to \(a\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a-0 =a a-a=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and also I'm sorry about the limit, I mean integral..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

meant**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh i got it now, thank youu!!!

you are welcome :)
