1. Identify the key points and shapes of the given pieces for one base period.
Consider the base period from to .
For :
- As , .
- At , .
- At , .
For :
- At , (joining the tangent piece continuously).
- At , .
- At , .
Thus, one complete cycle has a length of , consisting of an increasing segment from to crossing at , and a decreasing segment from to crossing at .
2. Apply the periodicity to extend the key features over the full required domain.
Using the periodic property , the function repeats every . We translate the key features across the domain :
- -intercepts (): Add and subtract multiples of to to obtain .
- Maximum points (): Translate the peak at by steps of to obtain .
- Minimum points (): Translate the trough at by steps of to obtain .
3. Describe the assembly of the final sketch on the coordinate axes.
Draw the full sketch for :
- Label the -axis from up to , and the -axis with and .
- Plot the maximums, minimums, and -intercepts identified in the previous step.
- Connect the points with the appropriate shapes: from each minimum, draw an increasing curve to the next maximum (concave down then concave up), followed by a decreasing sine curve to the next minimum.
- Ensure the graph explicitly starts at the root and terminates at the minimum .
A continuous, periodic graph plotted on the x-y axes with the following features:

1. Identify the symmetry of the function from the graph to deduce the relationship
From the sketch in part (a), the graph of has rotational symmetry of order 2 about the origin . This geometric property indicates that is an odd function.
Therefore, we can write down the relationship:
7(c)
1. Use the odd function property from part (b) to simplify the integral over the symmetric interval $[-2a, 2a]$.
From part (b), is an odd function (), so its integral over any symmetric interval is zero:
Thus, we can split the required integral:
2. Apply the periodic property of $\mathrm{f}(x)$ to shift the integration bounds into intervals where the function is explicitly defined.
Using the periodicity , we can shift the interval by :
For the first term, we apply to shift the interval to , where the sine definition applies:
3. Evaluate the definite integral involving the sine function over $[2a, 3a]$.
4. Evaluate the definite integral involving the tangent function over $[-a, 0]$.
Using the definition for :
5. Combine the evaluated parts to deduce the final values of $k$ and $m$.
Adding the integrals together:
Comparing this result to the given form , we determine that:
