Calculate antiderivative: Calculate the integral of 2x from −1 to 0. To solve ∫−102xdx, we start by finding the antiderivative of 2x, which is x2.
Evaluate at limits: Evaluate the antiderivative at the upper and lower limits and subtract.Plug in the limits into x2:At x=0, x2=02=0.At x=−1, x2=(−1)2=1.Now, subtract the lower limit evaluation from the upper limit evaluation: 0−1=−1.
