Integrate function: We need to find the integral of the function 3x2−2x−2 from 1 to 3 and then divide the result by 2. The first step is to integrate the function.The integral of 3x2 with respect to x is x3, the integral of −2x is −x2, and the integral of −2 is −2x.So, 11, where 12 is the constant of integration.
Evaluate definite integral: Now we need to evaluate the definite integral from 1 to 3.∫13(3x2−2x−2)dx=[x3−x2−2x] from 1 to 3. We plug in the upper limit of 3 into the antiderivative and then subtract the result of plugging in the lower limit of 1.=(33−32−2⋅3)−(13−12−2⋅1)=(27−9−6)−(1−1−2)=(27−9−6)−(−1)3031
Divide by 2: The last step is to divide the result of the definite integral by 2.(∫13(3x2−2x−2)dx)/2=213=6.5
