STUCK! How do you evaluate this?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}4dx + \int\limits_{0}^{1} 3x^2 dx\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[=\int\limits_{0}^{1} 4 dx + 3 \int\limits_{0}^{1}x^2 dx\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

= \[=4(0-1) + 3\int\limits_{0}^{1}x^2 dx\]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

Now I'm stuck. ;/

OpenStudy (notshh):

it'll be 4(1-0) for the first integral. always plug in top - bottom to integrate x^2, just follow the same process; add 1 to the exponent and then divide the term by the new exponent's number

OpenStudy (reemii):

@notshh just said, in words: \(\int x^k dx = \frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1}\). Therefore, \[ \int_0^1 x^k dx = \left[\frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1}\right]_0^1. \]

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oops yes I meant 4(a-b) lol

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

4(b-a) ***

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

so now it's 4+3*(x^3)/3

OpenStudy (notshh):

yup. all you need to do now is evaluate the integral and simplify

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

I don't understand lol, we've only been learning how to solve the area under a curve now all the sudden we have to integrate?
