Q. Evaluate ∫04(2e−0.25x−4x)dx and express the answer in simplest form.Answer:
Break down integral: Break down the integral into two separate integrals.We have the integral of a sum of two functions, which can be separated into the sum of two integrals:\int(\(2e^{−0.25x} - 4x)\,dx = \int 2e^{−0.25x}\,dx - \int 4x\,dx
Evaluate first integral: Evaluate the first integral ∫2e−0.25xdx. To integrate 2e−0.25x, we use the substitution method: Let u=−0.25x, then du=−0.25dx, or dx=−4du. The limits of integration also change with the substitution. When x=0, u=0, and when x=4, u=−1. The integral becomes: ∫2eu⋅−4du=−8∫eudu The integral of 2e−0.25x0 with respect to 2e−0.25x1 is 2e−0.25x0, so we have: 2e−0.25x3 Substituting back for 2e−0.25x1, we get: 2e−0.25x5
Evaluate second integral: Evaluate the second integral ∫4xdx. The integral of 4x with respect to x is 2x2, so we have: 2x2+C
Combine results: Combine the results of the two integrals.The combined indefinite integral is:−8e(−0.25x)+2x2+C
Evaluate definite integral: Evaluate the definite integral from 0 to 4. We need to calculate the value of the combined integral at the upper limit (x=4) and subtract the value at the lower limit (x=0): [−8e(−0.25⋅4)+2⋅42]−[−8e(−0.25⋅0)+2⋅02] Calculating the values, we get: [−8e(−1)+2⋅16]−[−8e(0)+0][−e8+32]−[−8⋅1]−e8+32+8
Simplify final result: Simplify the final result.Combining the terms, we get:32+8−e832+8(1−e1)40−e8
