Solution:

  1. Let φ(a)=aa+tf(x)dx

On differentiating w.r.t. a, we get

φ(a)=f(a+t)1f(a)1=0 [given, f(x+t)=f(x) ]

φ(a) is constant.

aa+tf(x)dx is independent of a.

f(x) and cosπx both are periodic with period 2 and both are even.

1010f(x)cosπxdx=2010f(x)cosπxdx

=1002f(x)cosπxdx

Now, 01f(x)cosπxdx

=01(1x)cosπxdx=01ucosπudu

and 12f(x)cosπxdx=12(x1)cosπxdx

=01ucosπudu

1010f(x)cosπxdx=2001ucosπudu=40π2

π2101010f(x)cosπxdx=4
