Problem

For a continuous function hh, a constant cc satisfies ∫25(h(x)+c) dx=∫25h(x) dx\int_{2}^{5}\bigl(h(x)+c\bigr)\,dx = \int_{2}^{5}h(x)\,dx for every continuous function hh. Which of the following statements about cc is true? (a) cc can be any real number (b) cc must equal h(3)h(3) (c) c=0c=0 (d) c=−13∫25h(x) dxc=-\dfrac{1}{3}\displaystyle\int_{2}^{5} h(x)\,dx
