The value of the integral \(\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\left(x+x^3+x^5\right) d x\) is:

  1. A 2
  2. B 1
  3. C 0
  4. D \(\pi / 2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x) = x+x^3+x^5\) \(f(-x) = (-x)+(-x)^3+(-x)^5 = -x-x^3-x^5 = -(x+x^3+x^5) = -f(x)\) Since \(f(x)\) is an odd function and the interval is symmetric \(\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\), \(\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\left(x+x^3+x^5\right) d x = 0\)
