Can We Integrate from 0 to T for Average Power Calculation?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that it is possible to integrate from 0 to T for calculating the average power consumption, instead of the traditional boundaries of -T/2 to T/2. This alternative approach maintains the integrity of the average calculation while simplifying the integration limits. The consensus among participants is that both methods yield the same result for average power consumption.

This is part of a solution to find the average of power consumption.
In the solution, the boundary taken is from -T/2 to T/2. Can we integrate from 0 to T instead?
