Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Let I = \int_0^1 f(x)dx. King: I = \int_0^1 f(1-x)dx. Add: 2I = \int_0^1 [f(x)+f(1-x)]dx = \int_0^1 1 dx = 1 \to I = 1/2.
<div class='solution'> <p>$I=\int_0^1 f(x)dx\stackrel{\text{King}}{=}\int_0^1 f(1-x)dx$</p> <p>$2I=\int_0^1[f(x)+f(1-x)]dx=\int_0^1 1\,dx=1\Rightarrow I=\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}$</p> </div>
