If $f(x)$ is a invertible function such that $f(x)+f(-x) = 2a\;,$ Then $\displaystyle \int_{a-x}^{a+x}f^{-1}(t)dt$

$\bf{My\; Try::}$ Using Integration by parts...

$\displaystyle \int_{a-x}^{a+x}f^{-1}(t)dt = \left[f^{-1}(t)\cdot t \right]_{a-x}^{a+x}-\int_{a-x}^{a+x}\frac{d}{dt}\left(f^{-1}(t)\right)\cdot tdt$

Now I did not understand how can we solve it.

Help me

Thanks

We can write $f(x)$ as the sum of $a$ and a monotone odd function.
The inverse of a monotone odd function is also odd...
 

FAQ: How to Evaluate the Integral of an Invertible Function with Given Symmetry?

What is the definition of an integral of an invertible function?

The integral of an invertible function is a mathematical concept that represents the area under the curve of the function on a given interval. It is denoted by the symbol ∫ and is calculated using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

How is the integral of an invertible function related to the derivative?

The integral of an invertible function and its derivative are inversely related. This means that if the derivative of a function is known, the integral can be calculated and vice versa. This relationship is known as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

What is the difference between a definite and indefinite integral of an invertible function?

A definite integral of an invertible function represents the exact numerical value of the integral on a specific interval. On the other hand, an indefinite integral represents the general antiderivative of the function, without any specific bounds.

How is the integral of an invertible function calculated?

The integral of an invertible function is calculated using various techniques, such as substitution, integration by parts, and trigonometric substitutions. The choice of technique depends on the complexity of the function and the interval on which the integral is being evaluated.

What is the significance of the integral of an invertible function in real-life applications?

The integral of an invertible function has numerous applications in physics, engineering, economics, and other fields. It is used to calculate quantities such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, work, and area under a curve, which are crucial in understanding real-life phenomena and solving practical problems.
