Steps

Step 1 :Define the function f(x) as a piecewise function: f(x)=7g(x) for x<4 and f(x)=8 for x4

Step 2 :Given that 04g(x)dx=5

Step 3 :Calculate the integral of f(x) from 0 to 4: 04f(x)dx=7×04g(x)dx=7×5=35

Step 4 :Calculate the integral of f(x) from 4 to 21: 421f(x)dx=8×(214)=136

Step 5 :Add the two parts to get the integral of f(x) from 0 to 21: 021f(x)dx=04f(x)dx+421f(x)dx=35+136=171

Step 6 :Final Answer: 171
