If 0 1 f ( x x + 1 x ) d x = 10 \displaystyle \int_0^1 f \left(\frac {\sqrt x}{\sqrt x + \sqrt{1-x}} \right) dx = 10 , what is 0 1 f ( 1 x x + 1 x ) d x = ? \displaystyle \int_0^1 f \left(\frac {\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt x + \sqrt {1-x}} \right) dx = \ ?


The answer is 10.

Using the reflection identity : a b f ( x ) d x = a b f ( a + b x ) d x \displaystyle \int_a^b f(x) \ dx = \int_a^b f(a+b-x) \ dx , we have:

0 1 f ( x x + 1 x ) d x = 0 1 f ( 1 x 1 x + x ) d x = 10 \int_0^1 f \left(\frac {\sqrt x}{\sqrt x + \sqrt{1-x}} \right) dx = \int_0^1 f \left(\frac {\sqrt{1-x}}{\sqrt {1-x} + \sqrt x} \right) dx = \boxed{10}
