Set up integral: Set up the integral for the given function.We need to evaluate the definite integral of the function 8x3+3x2+6x from x=2 to x=3.The integral is written as:∫x=2x=3(8x3+3x2+6x)dx
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule for integration to each term of the function.The power rule states that the integral of xn is (x(n+1))/(n+1) for any real number n that is not equal to −1.Using this rule, we find the antiderivative of each term:∫8x3dx=8⋅(x(3+1))/(3+1)=8⋅(x4)/4=2x4∫3x2dx=3⋅(x(2+1))/(2+1)=3⋅(x3)/3=x3∫6xdx=6⋅(x(1+1))/(1+1)=6⋅(x2)/2=3x2
Combine antiderivatives: Combine the antiderivatives to get the indefinite integral.The indefinite integral of the function is the sum of the antiderivatives of its terms:∫(8x3+3x2+6x)dx=2x4+x3+3x2+Cwhere C is the constant of integration.
Evaluate indefinite integral: Evaluate the indefinite integral from x=2 to x=3. To find the definite integral, we substitute the upper and lower limits of integration into the indefinite integral and subtract: (2(3)4+(3)3+3(3)2)−(2(2)4+(2)3+3(2)2)=(2(81)+27+3(9))−(2(16)+8+3(4))=(162+27+27)−(32+8+12)=216−52
Perform final calculation: Perform the final calculation to obtain the value of the definite integral. 216−52=164
