A function $f(x)$ is said to be periodic with period $T$ if for all $x$ in the domain of $f$, $f(x + T) = f(x)$. This periodicity can significantly simplify the integration process over intervals that are multiples of the period $T$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Properties of Integrals of Periodic Functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(1) Integral over one period<\/strong>: The integral of a periodic function over one period is a constant value that does not depend on the starting point of the interval. Mathematically, this is expressed as:<br>$$<br>\\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx = \\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx =constant<br>$$<br>where $T$ is the period of the function and $a$ is any real number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proof<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$\\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx = \\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx + \\int_{a}^{T} f(x)\\,dx$<br>$= \\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx + F(T) &#8211; F(a)$<br>$=\\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx + F(a+T) &#8211; F(a) &#8211; (F(a+T) &#8211; F(p) ) $<br>$=\\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx + \\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx &#8211; \\int_{T}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx $<br>Now Calulate $\\int_{T}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx $<br>Now let x = p + T<br>then dx= dp<br>$\\int_{T}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx = \\int_{0}^{a} f((p+T))\\,dt $<br>Since this is periodic with period T , f(p+T) = f(p)<br>Therefore<br>$=\\int_{0}^{a} f(p)\\,dp $<br>$=\\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx $<br>Subsituting back, we have<br>$\\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx = \\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx + \\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx &#8211; \\int_{0}^{a} f(x)\\,dx=\\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx $<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2) <strong>Integral over multiple periods<\/strong>: If you integrate a periodic function over an interval that spans multiple periods, the result is simply the integral over one period multiplied by the number of periods covered. For an interval $[a, b]$ that spans $n$ periods:<br>$$<br>\\int_{a}^{a+nT} f(x)\\,dx = n \\cdot \\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx,<br>$$<br>where $n = \\frac{b-a}{T}$ (assuming $b-a$ is an exact multiple of $T$).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can derive below formula based on above<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$$<br>\\int_{0}^{nT} f(x)\\,dx = n \\cdot \\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx,<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$$<br>\\int_{nT}^{mT} f(x)\\,dx = (m-n) \\cdot \\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx,<br> $$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$$<br>\\int_{a+nT}^{b+nT} f(x)\\,dx = \\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\\,dx,<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$$<br>\\int_{0}^{6\\pi} \\sin(x)\\,dx<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><br>The function $f(x) = \\sin(x)$, is a periodic with period $T = 2\\pi$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So<br>$$<br>\\int_{0}^{6\\pi} \\sin(x)\\,dx= 3 \\times \\int_{0}^{2\\pi} \\sin(x)\\,dx= 3 \\times 0 =0<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solved Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 1<\/strong><br>h(x) is continuous periodic function with period T, then the integral<br>$$<br>I= \\int_{a}^{a+T} h(x)\\,dx<br>$$<br>is ?<br>(a) equal to 2a<br>(b) Independent of a<br>(c) 4a<br>(d) None of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><br>we know by property<br>$$<br>\\int_{a}^{a+T} f(x)\\,dx = \\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx =constant<br>$$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence this is independent of a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Question 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assertion :If $I=\\int_{0}^{T} f(x)\\,dx $, then $\\int_{3}^{3+3T} f(2x)\\,dx =3I$<br>Reason:f(x) is periodic function with time period T<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(a)Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion<br>(b) Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion<br>(c)Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect<br>(d)Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong><br>$\\int_{3}^{3+3T} f(2x)\\,dx $<br>let 2x=p, then $dx = \\frac {dp}{2} $<br>$\\int_{3}^{3+3T} f(2x)\\,dx = \\frac {1}{2} \\int_{6}^{6+6T}
