If f is even integrable function on [0,a] prove that f is integrable on [-a,a] and that $int_{-a}^{0} f(x) dx...

$begingroup$


let f be an even function and suppose that f is integrable on [0,a].prove that f is integrable on [-a,a] and that $int_{-a}^{0} f(x) dx = int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx $



The answer is given below:



enter image description here



But I have a difficulty understanding the third line in the solution, does it contain a typo i.e. t must be -t in the second equality??

No, the second inequality contains a $t$. This is because $f$ is even, therefore, $f(-t)=f(t)$.



This means that the values $f$ takes on the interval $[x_{k-1}, x_k]$ are the same that $f$ takes on the interval $[-x_k, -x_{k-1}]$.




A strict proof of the claim would indeed require multiplying the inequalities, in particular,a more rigorous equality would be written like so:



$$begin{align}sup{f(t)| -x_k leq t leq -x_{k-1}} &= sup{f(-t)|-x_kleq t leq -x_{k-1}}\& = sup{f(-t)|x_{k-1}leq -t leq x_k}\&=sup{f(tau)|x_{k-1}leq tauleq x_k}end{align}$$
In line one, I use only the fact that $f$ is odd. In line $2$, I just multiply the inequality by $-1$, and in line $3$, I introduce a new variable $tau=-t$.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title.
