Options:
  • A $\frac{1}{2}\left[\mathrm{f}^2(\mathrm{~b})-\mathrm{f}^2(\mathrm{a})\right]$
  • B $\frac{1}{2}\left[\mathrm{~g}^2(\mathrm{~b})-\mathrm{g}^2(\mathrm{a})\right]$
  • C $f(b)-f(a)$
  • D $\frac{1}{2}\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{b}^2\right)-\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{a}^2\right)\right]$

The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{2}\left[\mathrm{f}^2(\mathrm{~b})-\mathrm{f}^2(\mathrm{a})\right]$
Hints $: f(x)=\int g(x) d x$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \int_a^b f(x) \cdot g(x) \cdot d x=(f(x) f(x))_a^b-\int_a^b g(x) f(x) d x \\
& I=f^2(b)-f^n(a)^{-1} \\
& I=\frac{1}{2}\left(f^2(b)-f^2(a)\right)
\end{aligned}
$$
