Math Problem Statement

1. Determine the integral of \( \int (6x^2 + 8x - 5) \, dx \) 2. Determine the value of the definite integral \( \int_1^2 (9x^2 - 4x^3 + 2x - 2) \, dx \)

Solution

The image contains two integral problems. Let's break them down and solve them step by step.

1. First Problem:

(6x2+8x5)dx\int (6x^2 + 8x - 5) \, dx

This is an indefinite integral of the polynomial function 6x2+8x56x^2 + 8x - 5. We solve it by integrating each term separately.

Solution:

  1. 6x2dx=6x33=2x3\int 6x^2 \, dx = 6 \cdot \frac{x^3}{3} = 2x^3
  2. 8xdx=8x22=4x2\int 8x \, dx = 8 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} = 4x^2
  3. 5dx=5x\int -5 \, dx = -5x

Thus, the integral is: 2x3+4x25x+C2x^3 + 4x^2 - 5x + C where CC is the constant of integration.

2. Second Problem:

12(9x24x3+2x)dx\int_1^2 (9x^2 - 4x^3 + 2x) \, dx

This is a definite integral over the interval [1, 2]. We solve it by integrating each term separately and then evaluating the result from 1 to 2.

Solution:

  1. 9x2dx=9x33=3x3\int 9x^2 \, dx = 9 \cdot \frac{x^3}{3} = 3x^3
  2. 4x3dx=4x44=x4\int -4x^3 \, dx = -4 \cdot \frac{x^4}{4} = -x^4
  3. 2xdx=2x22=x2\int 2x \, dx = 2 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} = x^2

Now, we evaluate the resulting function 3x3x4+x23x^3 - x^4 + x^2 at the limits 2 and 1: [ \left[ 3(2)^3 - (2)^4 + (2)^2 \right] - \left[ 3(1)^3 - (1)^4 + (1)^2 \right] ] Simplifying: [ \left[ 3(8) - 16 + 4 \right] - \left[ 3(1) - 1 + 1 \right] ] [ \left[ 24 - 16 + 4 \right] - \left[ 3 - 1 + 1 \right] ] [ \left[ 12 \right] - \left[ 3 \right] = 9 ]

Thus, the value of the definite integral is 99.
