Answer

$\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)~dx = c\int_{a}^{b}f(x)~dx$

Work Step by Step

We can use the definition of the integral in theorem 4 to prove Property 3: $\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)~dx = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}cf(x_i)\Delta x$ $\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)~dx = c\times (\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}~\sum_{i=1}^{n}f(x_i)\Delta x)$ $\int_{a}^{b}cf(x)~dx = c\int_{a}^{b}f(x)~dx$
