Q. Evaluate ∫02(2e0.5x−2x)dx and express the answer in simplest form.Answer:
Identify Integral: Identify the integral to be solved.We need to evaluate the integral of the function 2e0.5x−2x from 0 to 2. This integral can be split into two separate integrals:∫02(2e0.5x−2x)dx=∫022e0.5xdx−∫022xdx
Evaluate First Integral: Evaluate the first integral.The first integral is ∫022e0.5xdx. To solve this, we can use the substitution method or recognize that the antiderivative of eax is (1/a)eax. Here, a=0.5, so the antiderivative is (1/0.5)e0.5x=2e0.5x. Therefore, the integral becomes:∫022e0.5xdx=[2e0.5x] from 0 to 2Evaluating this at the bounds gives us:=2e0.5×2−2e0.5×0=2e1−2e0eax0
Evaluate Second Integral: Evaluate the second integral.The second integral is ∫022xdx. The antiderivative of x is (1/2)x2, so the antiderivative of 2x is 2×(1/2)x2=x2. Therefore, the integral becomes:∫022xdx=[x2] from 0 to 2Evaluating this at the bounds gives us:= 22−02= 4−0= x0
Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3.Now we combine the results of the two integrals to get the final answer:(2e−2)−4=2e−2−4=2e−6
