Math Problem Statement
Evaluate the expression: ∫₀¹/₂ (8x - 2x²) dx - ∫₄¹/₂ (8x - 2x²) dx.
Solution
The image shows the expression:
We will evaluate both integrals step by step.
Step 1: Solve the indefinite integral
The function to integrate is . Its integral is:
Step 2: Evaluate the definite integrals
- First integral: [ \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} (8x - 2x^2) , dx = \left[ 4x^2 - \frac{2x^3}{3} \right]_0^{\frac{1}{
