Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{f(x)}}{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{f(x)}}{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}\text{ dx}\ ....(\text{i})$
$=\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}{\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{a}-\text{b}+\text{x})}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}{\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})+\text{f(x)}}\text{ dx}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\bigg[\frac{\text{f(x)}}{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}+\frac{\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}\bigg]\text{dx}$
$=\int\limits^\text{b}_{\text{a}}\frac{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}{\text{f(x)}+\text{f}(\text{a}+\text{b}-\text{x})}\text{ dx}$
$=\big[\text{x}\big]^{\text{b}}_\text{a}$
$=\text{b}-\text{a}$
Hence, $\text{I}=\frac{\text{b}-\text{a}}{2}$
