Integral of average of integral equal to integral itself

I was trying to prove the following and had totally no idea how to start.



Let $f$ be integrable over $(-infty, infty)$, and let $h> 0$ be fixed. Prove that $$int_{-infty}^{infty} (frac{1}{2h} int_{x-h}^{x+h} f(y) mathrm{d}y) mathrm{d}x = int_{-infty}^{infty}f(x) mathrm{d}x$$



When $f$ is given integrability, I can use linearity but not so sure if that is the right thing to do here. Also I was considering double integral as the left hand side of the equality looks like that. That is my intention, for example with the help of Fubini's Theorem. However $f$ is defined on one dimension, I struggled with constructing a bi-variate function.

  • Try writing the LHS as an integral from $-R$ to $R$ and then take the limit, usually with these kinds of problems you just have to do the math head on and suddenly the magic happens.

LHS $=frac 1 {2h}int_{-infty}^{infty} int_{y-h}^{y+h} dx f(y) dy$ by Fubini's Theorem because $x-h<y<x+h$ is equivalent to $ y-h<x<y+h$. Rest is obvious.
