integral from-1 to 2 of (x^2-5x+1)

\int_{- 1}^{2} (x^{2} - 5 x + 1) d x

- \frac{3}{2}

Decimal

- 1.5

Solution steps

\int_{- 1}^{2} x^{2} - 5 x + 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int_{- 1}^{2} x^{2} d x - \int_{- 1}^{2} 5 x d x + \int_{- 1}^{2} 1 d x

\int_{- 1}^{2} x^{2} d x = 3

\int_{- 1}^{2} 5 x d x = \frac{15}{2}

\int_{- 1}^{2} 1 d x = 3

= 3 - \frac{15}{2} + 3

Simplify

3 - \frac{15}{2} + 3 : - \frac{3}{2}

= - \frac{3}{2}

\int_{0}^{4} x^{2} e^{\frac{x}{2}} d x

\int_{5}^{8} 2400 x 3 + 2 x d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} e^{2 x} d x

\int_{0}^{2 π} - 4 cos^{2} (t) d t

\int_{3}^{5} \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 4 x + 13} d x
