Integrate:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The integral of the function is equal to

and was found using the following rule:

Finally, we evaluate by plugging in the upper bound into the resulting function and subtracting the resulting function with the lower bound plugged in:

Example Question #44 : Techniques Of Antidifferentiation

Solve:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The integral is equal to

The rules used to integrate are

Now, we solve by plugging in the upper bound of integration and then subtracting the result of plugging in the lower bound of integration:
