Find the value of ' \(k\) ', if it is given that \(\int_0^{b-c} f(x+c) d x=k \int_c^b f(x) d x\)

Find the value of ' \(k\) ', if it is given that \(\int_0^{b-c} f(x+c) d x=k \int_c^b f(x) d x\)
  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 0
  4. -2

Solution

\(I=\int_0^{b-c} f(x+c) d x\) Put \(x+c=t\), then at \(x=0, t=c\) and at \(x=b-c, t=b\) and \(d x=d t\), so \(I=\int_c^b f(t) d t=\int_c^b f(x) d x \Rightarrow \int_0^b f(x+c) d x=\int_c^b f(x) d x\) Therefore \(k=1\)
