Question

Given f is an odd function defined everywhere, periodic with period 2 and integrable on every interval. Let
g(x) = f(t) dt. Then :

Options

A.g(2n) = 0 for every integer n
B.g(x) is an even function
C.g(x) and f(x) have the same period
D.none of these

Solution

f( - x) = - f(x)        ... (1)
f(x + 2) = f(x)        ... (2)
g(2n) =
⇒ g(2n) = n g(2)    ... (3)
Now    g(- x) =
put    t = - z    ⇒    dt = - dz
=    (from (1))
=         ∴     g(- x) = g(x)
Again    g(x + 2) =
∴   g(x + 2) =             (∵   f → period)
⇒ g(x + 2) = g(x) + g(2)         .... (4)
Putting    x = 0, 2, ......
g(2) = g(0 + g(2)  ⇒   g(0) = 0
g(4) = g(2) + g(2)   ⇒   g(4) = 2g(2)
putting x → ⎕ - x   we get
g(2 - x) = g(- x) + g(2) = g(x) + g(2)
 g(0) = 2g(2)   ⇒   g(2) = 0
∴  g(0) = g( ± 2) = g(± 4) = ..... = 0
from (3)     g(2n) = 0   
& from (4)  g(x + 2) = g(x)   ⇒   prd. of g(x) is 2
