jawab

∫[−1 to 2] (4x^3 + 2x^2 − 4) dx = 11. True or False?

Solution

The given integral problem is:

12(4x3+2x24)dx=11\int_{-1}^{2} (4x^3 + 2x^2 - 4) \, dx = 11

We need to evaluate this definite integral and verify if it equals 1111 or not.

Step 1: Integrate the function

The integral of 4x3+2x244x^3 + 2x^2 - 4 with respect to xx is computed term by term: (4x3)dx=x4,(2x2)dx=2x33,(4)dx=4x.\int (4x^3) \, dx = x^4, \quad \int (2x^2) \, dx = \frac{2x^3}{3}, \quad \int (-4) \, dx = -4x. So, the antiderivative is: F(x)=x4+2x334x.F(x) = x^4 + \frac{2x^3}{3} - 4x.

Step 2: Apply the limits of integration

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we evaluate F(x)F(x) at the limits 22 and 1-1: 12(4x3+2x24)dx=F(2)F(1).\int_{-1}^{2} (4x^3 + 2x^2 - 4) \, dx = F(2) - F(-1).

Evaluate F(2)F(2):

= 16 + \frac{16}{3} - 8 = \frac{48}{3} + \frac{16}{3} - \frac{24}{3} = \frac{40}{3}.$$ #### Evaluate $$F(-1)$$: $$F(-1) = (-1)^4 + \frac{2(-1)^3}{3} - 4(-1) = 1 + \frac{-2}{3} + 4 = \frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} + \frac{12}{3} = \frac{13}{3}.$$ #### Compute $$F(2) - F(-1)$$: $$F(2) - F(-1) = \frac{40}{3} - \frac{13}{3} = \frac{27}{3} = 9.$$ ### Step 3: Compare the result The computed value of the integral is $$9$$, not $$11$$. Therefore, the statement is **False**. --- Would you like further clarification or a step-by-step breakdown? Here are some related questions to explore: 1.
