Q. Evaluate ∫02(6e−0.5x−4x)dx and express the answer in simplest form.Answer:
Break down into two integrals: Break down the integral into two separate integrals. ∫02(6e−0.5x−4x)dx=∫026e−0.5xdx−∫024xdx
Evaluate integral of 6e−0.5x: Evaluate the first integral ∫026e−0.5xdx. Let u=−0.5x, then du=−0.5dx, which implies dx=−2du. When x=0, u=0, and when x=2, u=−1. The integral becomes −12∫0−1eudu.
Calculate integral of eu: Calculate the integral of eu. The integral of eu with respect to u is eu. So, −12∫0−1eudu=−12[eu]0−1=−12(e−1−e0)=−12(e1−1).
Evaluate integral of 4x: Evaluate the second integral ∫024xdx. The integral of x with respect to x is (1/2)x2. So, ∫024xdx=4[(1/2)x2]02=4(1/2)(2)2−4(1/2)(0)2=4(2)−0=8.
Combine results from Step 3 and Step 4: Combine the results from Step 3 and Step 4. The result of the integral from 0 to 2 of the function 6e−0.5x−4x is −12(1/e−1)+8.
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression. −12(e1−1)+8=e−12+12+8=e−12+20.
