Math Problem Statement
Evaluate the integral. 9
4
x dx
Solution
To evaluate the given integral, we have:
We will use the power rule for integration, which states:
\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \quad \text{(where n \neq -1)}
So for the integral , treat as:
Using the power rule on :
Thus, we multiply this result by 9:
Finally, include the constant of integration :
So the evaluated integral is:
Would you like further details on this step? Here are some related questions:
- What is the power rule for integration, and how is it derived?
- How does the constant of integration affect indefinite integrals?
- Can you explain the difference between definite and indefinite integrals?
- How do you apply the power rule for functions with negative exponents?
- How do you solve integrals involving polynomials of higher degree?
Tip: Always check if a constant factor (like 9 here) can be factored out of the integral to simplify the process.
