integral from a to b of x 1/(b-a)

\int_{a}^{b} x \frac{1}{b - a} d x

\frac{b + a}{2}

Solution steps

\int_{a}^{b} x \frac{1}{b - a} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{b - a} \cdot \int_{a}^{b} x d x

Apply the Power Rule

: [\frac{x ^{2}}{2}]_{a}^{b}

= \frac{1}{b - a} [\frac{x ^{2}}{2}]_{a}^{b}

Simplify

\frac{1}{b - a} [\frac{x ^{2}}{2}]_{a}^{b} : \frac{[ \frac{x ^{2}}{2} ] _{a}^{b}}{b - a}

= \frac{[ \frac{x ^{2}}{2} ] _{a}^{b}}{b - a}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{b ^{2}}{2} - \frac{a ^{2}}{2}

= \frac{\frac{b ^{2}}{2} - \frac{a ^{2}}{2}}{b - a}

Simplify

= \frac{b + a}{2}

\int_{1}^{6} \frac{9}{x} d x

\int_{0}^{2} x \cdot \frac{x}{2} d x

\int_{0}^{1} 6 y d y

\int_{2}^{5} (x^{2} - 8 x + 12) d x

\int_{- 10}^{- 3} \frac{1}{x + 2} d x
