Answer

$\int_{0}^{1} f(x)~dx = \int_{0}^{1} f(1-x)~dx$

Work Step by Step

The function $f$ is continuous on $[0,1]$. Let $g(x) = 1-x$ Then $g'(x) = -1$ $g'(x)$ is continuous for all values of $x$ According to the Substitution Rule: $\int_{g(0)}^{g(1)} f(x)~dx = \int_{0}^{1} f(g(x))~g'(x)~dx$ $\int_{1}^{0} f(x)~dx = \int_{0}^{1} f(1-x)~(-1)~dx$ $-\int_{0}^{1} f(x)~dx = -\int_{0}^{1} f(1-x)~dx$ $\int_{0}^{1} f(x)~dx = \int_{0}^{1} f(1-x)~dx$
