Sorry for answering this question very lately! I’m seeing this question just now!
I think you know that
is positive if and only if the function
lies completely above X-axis in the interval
. Similarly, that integral will be negative only if it lies completely below X-axis in
.
So, if you have a function like
, you can see that it lies above X-axis in
and it lies below X-axis in
. But, the function
is above X-axis in
and also in
. So, now you’ll understand:
so, here the integrals are
not equal So,f(x)= sin(x)
has one root in
So, we can conclude that if the integrals are equal, f(x) has no root in (a,b)
