Find ∫₀³ x² dx

Compute a definite integral with the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Answer ∫ from 0 to 3 = 9

Solution

  1. Integrand f(x) = x²
  2. Reverse power rule ∫ 1x² dx = 0.333333x³
  3. Indefinite integral ∫ f(x) dx = 0.333333x³ + C
  4. Evaluate F(b) F(3) = 9
  5. Evaluate F(a) F(0) = 0
  6. Definite integral F(b) − F(a) = 9
