Symmetry of graphs of sin and cos evaluate definite integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \sin(x)dx \]

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

When a graph is symmetrical about the x-axis, the definite integral is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same integral for cos(x)dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So no matter the function it will be 0?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

cos(x) 9s not symmetrical about the x-axis in that domain.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

*is

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

As long as the function is symmetrical about the x axis in the domain specified, the integral will be 0.

So if i plug in both end points of it i should see this?
