Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat: Integration and Continuity

Indian Statistical Institute B.Math & B.Stat Solved Problems, Vinod Singh ~ Kolkata If c10xf(2x)dx=20tf(t)dt, where f is a positive continuous functions, then find then value of c.
In the R.H.S put 2x=t, this gives c10xf(2x)dx=410xf(2x)dx=(c4)10xf(2x)dx=0c=4
Since f is given to be a positive continuous function, xf(x) is continuous and >0(0,1). Therefore 10xf(2x)dx>0. This follows from the fact that if a continuous functions is positive at a point in its domain, the a open neighborhood containing the point and contained in the domain throughout which the function is positive.
