Q. Evaluate ∫02(9e−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(9e−0.5x−4x)dx=∫029e−0.5xdx−∫024xdx
Evaluate integral of 9e−0.5x: Evaluate the first integral ∫029e−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 −18∫0−1eudu.
Calculate integral of eu: Calculate the integral of eu. The integral of eu with respect to u is eu. So, −18∫0−1eudu=−18[eu]0−1=−18(e−1−e0)=−18(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)(22−02)=4(2)=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 9e−0.5x−4x is:−18(1/e−1)−8.
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression.−18(e1−1)−8=−e18+18−8=10−e18.
