Q. Evaluate ∫04(8e−0.5x−2x)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(\(8e^{−0.5x} - 2x)\,dx = \int 8e^{−0.5x}\,dx - \int 2x\,dx
Evaluate first integral: Evaluate the first integral ∫8e−0.5xdx. To integrate 8e−0.5x, we use the substitution method: Let u=−0.5x, then du=−0.5dx, which means dx=−2du. The integral becomes: ∫8eu⋅−2du=−16∫eudu The integral of eu with respect to u is eu, so we have: −16eu+C Substitute back u=−0.5x to get: 8e−0.5x1
Evaluate second integral: Evaluate the second integral ∫2xdx.The integral of 2x with respect to x is x2, so we have:∫2xdx=2⋅(21)x2=x2+C
Combine results: Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3 to get the indefinite integral.The indefinite integral is:−16e(−0.5x)+x2+C
Evaluate definite integral: Evaluate the definite integral from 0 to 4. We need to calculate the value of the indefinite integral at the upper limit (x=4) and subtract the value at the lower limit (x=0): (−16e(−0.5⋅4)+42)−(−16e(−0.5⋅0)+02) Simplify and calculate the values: (−16e(−2)+16)−(−16e(0)+0)(−16/e2+16)−(−16+0)−16/e2+16+1616+16−16/e232−16/e2
