Solution Q3

The function f(x) has the property that:

f(x)=f(6−x)for all real x.

We are given the condition:

(∫32f(x)dx)2+(∫64f(x)dx)2+(∫42f(x)dx)(∫20f(x)dx)−∫363f(x)dx=−2

Solution:

By the symmetry property f(x)=f(6−x), we can simplify the integrals and set w=∫30f(x)dx.

Then the equation reduces to: w2+3w+2=0.

This quadratic factors as: (w+2)(w+1)=0, giving w=−1orw=−2.

The sum of possible values is: −1+(−2)=−3.

Answer: (C) −3
