i get 1/3 can u confm

1/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how u get 1/6

OpenStudy (zarkon):

did you evaluate the dx integral at 0?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

do you see where you made your mistake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[\left.x-x^2+\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{(1-x)^3}{6}\right|_{0}^{1}\] \[=\left(1-1^2+\frac{1^3}{3}+\frac{(1-1)^3}{6}\right)-\left(0-0^2+\frac{0^3}{3}+\frac{(1-0)^3}{6}\right)\] \[=1-1+\frac{1}{3}+0-0+0-0-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\]
