How to solve this? Calculus II problem... Area under a curve. (symmetry)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#47 btw

I already know that the integral for the interval [-2,0] is negative. And i developed an anti derivative of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2/3)(4-x^2)^(3/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't need to solve the area on the left.. you can see it's symmetric.. means it's 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In addition.. the function is odd.. so the integral = 0 between [-a,a]

OpenStudy (loser66):

have to prove it is odd and then apply the theorem to get 0

OpenStudy (loser66):

for the second one ,just distribute sin into the bracket and take integral term by term
