Can someone please check my answer ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (phi):

you can break the 2nd integral into 2 parts: \[\int\limits_{-2}^{4}(f(x)+8) dx=\int\limits_{-2}^{4}f(x) dx + \int\limits_{-2}^{4}8 \ dx\]

OpenStudy (phi):

They tell you what the first integral is. however, you must do the integration on the second one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right but don't you just do 8+5=13 and that is your answer

OpenStudy (phi):

as you remember from the previous question, you can "pull out" the 8. so you need to figure out \[ 8 \int_{-2}^4 dx \] can you do that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup give me a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 0

OpenStudy (phi):

how ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I am doing it wrong what did you get?

OpenStudy (phi):

the integral of dx is x can you finish ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (phi):

and don't forget the 8 out front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48

OpenStudy (phi):

now add in the first integral which they tell you is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

53 is my final answer then?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. Do you see how to do this? when you got 13, you were thinking something wrong (like the 8 was not inside the integral) The important thing is get your thinking straight.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup got it
