4. We have f( - x) = f( + x) and f( - x) = f( + x)
[Since the function f(x) is symmetrical about lines x =  and x = ]
Replacing x by  - x in equation (1), we have f(x) = f(2 - x)
Replacing x by ( - x) in equation (2), we have f(x) = f(2 - x)
From equation (3), we have f(x) = f(2 - x) = f{2 - (2 - x)} = f{x + 2(-)} from (4)
Hence f(x) is periodic, having a period 2 ( - )
