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

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

\frac{3}{4}

Decimal

0.75

Solution steps

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

Expand

x (x + 1)^{2} : x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + x

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

\int_{- 2}^{1} x^{3} d x = - \frac{15}{4}

\int_{- 2}^{1} 2 x^{2} d x = 6

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

= - \frac{15}{4} + 6 - \frac{3}{2}

Simplify

- \frac{15}{4} + 6 - \frac{3}{2} : \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{3}{4}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 243 sin (θ) d θ

\int_{\frac{π}{12}}^{\frac{π}{6}} csc (3 x) d x

\int_{5}^{6} f (4^{x}) 4^{x} d x

\int_{1}^{3} (\frac{6}{x}) d x

\int_{x^{2}}^{1} y d y
