Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the definite integral of (4x^3 - 2x + 10) from 0 to 1.

Solution

The image shows the definite integral:

01(4x32x+10)dx\int_0^1 (4x^3 - 2x + 10) \, dx

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: Integrate the function

We need to find the indefinite integral of 4x32x+104x^3 - 2x + 10.

(4x32x+10)dx=4x442x22+10x+C\int (4x^3 - 2x + 10) \, dx = \frac{4x^4}{4} - \frac{2x^2}{2} + 10x + C

Simplifying the terms:

x4x2+10x+Cx^4 - x^2 + 10x + C

Step 2: Apply the definite integral bounds

Now, we need to evaluate the integral from 00 to 11:

[x4x2+10x]01\left[ x^4 - x^2 + 10x \right]_0^1

Evaluate at x=1x = 1:

1412+10(1)=11+10=101^4 - 1^2 + 10(1) = 1 - 1 + 10 = 10

Evaluate at x=0x = 0:

0402+10(0)=00^4 - 0^2 + 10(0) = 0

Step 3: Subtract the values

Now subtract the value at x=0x = 0 from the value at x=1x = 1:

100=1010 - 0 = 10

Thus, the value of the definite integral is:

10\boxed{10}
