SUMMARY
The integral of the function h(x,y) = f(x) * g(y) over a disk D centered at the origin evaluates to zero. This conclusion arises from the properties of odd and even functions, where f is odd and g is even. The symmetry of the disk leads to the cancellation of positive and negative areas under the curve, confirming that the double integral ∫∫h(x,y)dA over D equals zero.
