Let f ( x ) be a function satisfying f ( x ) = x − x 2 where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 , and f ( x + 1 ) = f ( x ) for x ∈ R .
If g ( x ) = ∫ 0 x f ( t ) d t , find g ( 6 . 3 ) .
Give your answer upto 3 decimal places.
Notation : R denotes the set of real numbers .
Bonus : Find the general expression for g ( x ) .

Condition f ( x + 1 ) = f ( x ) for all x ∈ R means the function f is a periodic function with period 1. Since f ( x ) = x 2 − x 3 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 , then g ( 6 . 3 ) = ∫ 0 6 . 3 f ( x ) d x = 6 ∫ 0 1 f ( x ) d x + ∫ 0 0 . 3 f ( x ) d x = 1 . 0 3 6

Here is the general expression for g ( x ) :
g ( x ) = ∫ 0 x f ( t ) d t
= ∫ 0 ⌊ x ⌋ f ( t ) d t + ∫ ⌊ x ⌋ x f ( t ) d t
= ⌊ x ⌋ ∫ 0 1 f ( t ) d t + ∫ 0 { x } f ( t ) d t (where, f ( x ) = x − x 2 )
= 6 ⌊ x ⌋ + { x } 2 ( 3 − 2 { x } )
