Q. Answer the following True or False.\newlineIf abf(x)dx \int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx converges and a<c<b a < c < b , then acf(x)dx \int_{a}^{c} f(x) \, dx also converges.\newlineTrue\newlineFalse\newline
  1. Consider Integral Convergence: Let's consider the given integral from aa to bb of f(x)f(x). If this integral converges, it means that the area under the curve of f(x)f(x) from aa to bb is finite.
  2. Subset Interval Analysis: Now, let's consider the integral from aa to cc of f(x)f(x), where a<c<ba < c < b. Since cc is between aa and bb, the interval from aa to cc is a subset of the interval from aa to bb.
  3. No Singularities or Divergence: The convergence of the integral from aa to bb of f(x)f(x) implies that the function f(x)f(x) does not have any singularities or behaviors that would cause the integral to diverge in the interval [a,b][a, b].
  4. Convergence Implication: Since the interval from aa to cc is contained within the interval from aa to bb, and we know that there are no issues in the larger interval that would prevent convergence, the integral from aa to cc must also converge.
  5. True Statement Validation: Therefore, the statement is true: if the integral from aa to bb of f(x)f(x) converges, then the integral from aa to cc of f(x)f(x) also converges for any cc such that a<c<ba < c < b.
