Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which of the following integrals are equal to , given that is an odd function, let's review some properties of odd functions and definite integrals.
- Odd Function Property: If is odd, then .
- Integral Symmetry Property for Odd Functions: For any odd function , the integral from to is zero:
- Integral with Negative Limits: For an odd function, if you reverse the limits of integration (e.g., from to ), you negate the value of the integral:
Given , let's analyze the options:
Options Analysis:
-
— This is the original integral, so it is equal to itself.
-
— This integral spans from to , and we can split it as: Since is odd, . Thus: So, this option is equal to .
-
— This integral is in the range from to , so it doesn’t directly relate to the interval to , and there’s no direct relationship here that would make it equal to .
-
— Similar to option 2, we can split it: Again, ( \int_{-2}^2 f(x) \
