How to find if f is a continuous function?
Let f be a continuous function on [a,b] . If F (x) = (inta^xf (t)dt - intx^bf (t)dt) (2x - (a + b)) , then there exist some cepsilon (a,b) such that Let f be a continuous function on [a,b]. If F(x)=(?axf(t)dt??xbf(t)dt)(2x?(a+b)), then there exist some c?(a,b) such that Since, f(x) is continuous on [a,b] , so F(x) is also continuous on [a,b].
