We are asked to evaluate
\(\displaystyle I = \int_a^b x f(x)\, dx \quad \text{given } f(a+b-x)=f(x).\)
Step 1: Put substitution \(t=a+b-x\). Then \(dx=-dt\).
When \(x=a \Rightarrow t=b\),
when \(x=b \Rightarrow t=a\).
So,
\[
I = \int_a^b x f(x)\, dx = \int_b^a (a+b-t) f(t)(-dt)
= \int_a^b (a+b-t) f(t)\, dt.
\]
Step 2: Add both forms of \(I\):
\[
2I = \int_a^b [x f(x) + (a+b-x) f(x)] dx
= \int_a^b (a+b) f(x)\, dx.
\]
Step 3: Simplify:
\[
I = \frac{a+b}{2} \int_a^b f(x)\, dx.
\]
Final Answer:
\(\displaystyle \frac{a+b}{2}\int_a^b f(x)\, dx\)
→ matches Option 1.
