Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(x) dx\] \[f(x)= 4x if -\pi \le x \le0\] \[f(x)=3\sin(x) if 0 \le x \le \pi\]

i got the answer -25.7392

but this is not the right answer

Well, you have a piecewise function, so you had best divide your interval into, well, pieces :) \[\int\limits_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)dx = \int\limits_{-\pi}^{0}f(x)dx+\int\limits_{0}^{\pi}f(x)dx\] And now you can substitute f(x), but importantly, a different function for those two integrals...

I divided the info into two seperate integrals one going from -pi to 0 and one going form 0 to pi for the 1st (4*-x^2)/2 for the 2nd (3*cos(x))

Is this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind i got the right answer
