Piecewise Definite integration

Property 5

abf(x)dx=acf(x)dx+cbf(x)dx where cR

This property is useful when the function is in the form of piecewise or discontinuous or non-differentiable at x=c in (a,b).
Let
ddx(F(x))=f(x)acf(x)dx+cbf(x)dx=F(x)|ac+F(x)|cb=F(c)F(a)+F(b)F(c)=F(b)F(a)=abf(x)dx
acf(x)dx+cbf(x)dx

The above property can also be generalized into the following form

abf(x)dx=ac1f(x)dx+c1c2f(x)dx++cnbf(x)dx
where, a<c1<c2<<cn1<cn<b.

Property 6

0af(x)dx=0a/2f(x)dx+0a/2f(ax)dx

Proof:
From the previous property,
0af(x)dx=0a/2f(x)dx+a/2af(x)dx

Put x=atdx=dt in the second integral, when x=a/2, then t=a/2 and when x=a, then t=0
0af(x)dx=0a/2f(x)dx+a/20f(at)(dt)=0a/2f(x)dx+0a/2f(at)dt0af(x)dx=0a/2f(x)dx+0a/2f(ax)dx
