If $f(x+f(y))=f(x)+y$ for all $x, y \in R$ and $f(0)=1$, then $\int\limits_0^{10} f(10-x) d x$ is equal to |
1 10 $\int\limits_0^1 f(x) d x$ $10 \int\limits_0^1 f(x) d x$ |
$10 \int\limits_0^1 f(x) d x$ |
We have, $f(x+f(y))=f(x)+y$ for all $x, y \in R$ Replacing $y$ by 0, we obtain $\Rightarrow f(x+f(0))=f(x)+0$ for all $x \in R$ $\Rightarrow f(x+1)=f(x)$ for all $x \in R$ $\Rightarrow f(x)$ is periodic with period 1 . Now, $\int\limits_0^{10} f(10-x) d x=-\int\limits_{10}^0 f(t) d t$, where $t=10-x$ $=\int\limits_0^{10} f(t) d t=10 \int\limits_0^1 f(t) d t$ [∵ f(x) is periodic with period 1] |
