Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let $f(x) = a x^3 + b x$. Since $f(-x) = a(-x)^3 + b(-x) = -(a x^3 + b x) = -f(x)$, the function $f(x)$ is an odd function. According to the property of definite integrals, if $f(x)$ is an odd function, then $\int_{-a}^a f(x) dx = 0$. Alternatively, evaluating the integral: $\int_{-1}^1 (a x^3 + b x) dx = \left[ a \frac{x^4}{4} + b \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{-1}^1$ $= \left( \frac{a(1)^4}{4} + \frac{b(1)^2}{2} \right) - \left( \frac{a(-1)^4}{4} + \frac{b(-1)^2}{2} \right)$ $= \left( \frac{a}{4} + \frac{b}{2} \right) - \left( \frac{a}{4} + \frac{b}{2} \right) = 0$. This result holds true for any real values of $a$ and $b$.
