Question in comments.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

\[\int\limits_{4}^{6}x^3xdx = 260 , \int\limits_{4}^{6} xdx=10, \int\limits_{4}^{6}dx=2\] evaluate \[\int\limits_{4}^{6}(x^3+3)dx\]

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I have the answer and I'm not really sure how to come to it.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Theres a typo in the first one it should just be x^3dx

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Key definite/indefinite integral properties that are useful here : \[\int\limits_a^b [f(x) + g(x) ]\, dx ~= ~ \int\limits_a^b f(x)\,dx + \int\limits_a^b g(x)\,dx \] \[\int\limits_a^b cf(x)\,dx = c\int\limits_a^b f(x)\, dx\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they show the linearity of integration

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Alright so seperate it into \[\int\limits_{4}^{6}x^3dx + \int\limits_{4}^{6} 3dx\] then \[\int\limits_{4}^{6}x^3dx + 3\int\limits_{4}^{6}dx\] then I can say 260 + 3(2) = 266

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Thanks @ganeshie8 makes a lot of sense now.
