Integral question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Given that \[\int\limits_{1}^{3}e ^{x}dx=e ^{3}-e\] use the properties of integrals and this result to evaluate \[\int\limits_{1}^{3}(5e ^{x}-2)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

without using derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anti*

OpenStudy (alekos):

this is the same as 5int(e^x) - int(2)dx

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ \int\limits_{1}^{3}(5e ^{x}-2)dx = 5\int\limits_{1}^{3}e ^xdx - \int\limits_{1}^{3}2dx = 5(e^3-e) - 2(3-1) = ? \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think thats the part i am stuck on how'd you get 5(e^3-e), etc.?

OpenStudy (aum):

It is given. Look at your very first reply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow, i'm clearly out of it right now... I think I understand it better, thank you!!!
