Lesson Note

Integration is one of the fundamental operations in calculus, acting as the reverse process of differentiation. While differentiation involves finding the rate at which a function changes, integration focuses on finding the accumulated quantity or area under a curve. For high school mathematics, integral calculus is essential in interpreting and solving many problems involving rates of change and areas under curves.

Question 1 Report

Evaluate $1_{0}^{\int} x^{2} (x^{3} + 2)^{3}$

$\frac{56}{12}$

$\frac{65}{12}$

Answer Details

$1_{0}^{\int} x^{2} (x^{3} + 2)^{3}$ dx

let $u = x^{3} + 2, d u = 3 x^{2} d x$

when x = 1, u = 3

when x = 0, u = 2

dx = $\frac{d u}{3 x^{2}}$

$3_{2}^{\int}$ $\frac{x^{2} [u]^{3}}{3 x^{2}}$

$3_{2}^{\int}$ $\frac{u^{3}}{3}$ du

= $\frac{u^{4}}{3 * 4}$ $_{2}$ 3

$\frac{1}{12} [u^{4}]$ $_{2}$ 3

$\frac{1}{12} [3^{4} - 2^{4}]$

$\frac{1}{12} [81 - 16]$

$\frac{65}{12}$
