Divide a function into intervals such way that the figures under the graph on each interval have centers of mass in integers

81 Views Asked by At

Can we divide the real line into intervals $(a_i,b_i)$ such a way that for a given function $f(x)$ the figure under its graphic on each interval had center of mass in an integer?

The formula for center of mass is

$$x_i=\frac{\int_{a_i}^{b_i} x f(x) dx}{\int_{a_i}^{b_i} f(x) dx}$$

So we should find such $a_i, b_i$ that for each pair, the above expressed $x_i$ was an integer.

Is there a simple way?
