Q. Solve the Definite Integral:∫−61410x4+12x3−16x2−9x+15dxSection 5.4
Calculate F(14): Now we'll evaluate the antiderivative from −6 to 14. F(b)−F(a)=[2(14)5+3(14)4−(16/3)(14)3−(9/2)(14)2+15(14)]−[2(−6)5+3(−6)4−(16/3)(−6)3−(9/2)(−6)2+15(−6)] Let's calculate F(14) first. F(14)=2(14)5+3(14)4−(16/3)(14)3−(9/2)(14)2+15(14)
Calculate F(−6): Now let's calculate F(−6).F(−6)=2(−6)5+3(−6)4−(316)(−6)3−(29)(−6)2+15(−6)
Subtract F(−6) from F(14): Subtract F(−6) from F(14) to get the value of the definite integral.∫−614(10x4+12x3−16x2−9x+15)dx=F(14)−F(−6)
Correct antiderivative calculation: Oops, I just realized I made a mistake in the antiderivative calculation. The antiderivative of 10x4 should be (510)x5, which is 2x5, not 10x5. I need to correct this before proceeding.
