Q. Evaluate ∫05(3e0.2x−2x)dx and express the answer in simplest form.Answer:
Identify Terms: Identify the two separate terms in the integral.We have the integral of the sum of two functions: 3e0.2x and −2x. We can integrate each term separately.
Integrate 3e0.2x: Integrate the first term 3e0.2x.To integrate 3e0.2x, we use the fact that the integral of eax is (1/a)eax, where a is a constant.So, the integral of 3e0.2x is (3/0.2)e0.2x=15e0.2x.
Integrate −2x: Integrate the second term −2x. The integral of −2x with respect to x is −x2.
Combine Integrals: Combine the integrals of the two terms.The integral of the function 3e0.2x−2x is 15e0.2x−x2.
Evaluate Definite Integral: Evaluate the definite integral from 0 to 5. We need to calculate (15e0.2x−x2) evaluated at x=5 and subtract the value of the function evaluated at x=0. At x=5: 15e0.2×5−52=15e1−25. At x=0: 15e0.2×0−02=15e0−0=15−0=15.
Subtract Values: Subtract the value at the lower limit from the value at the upper limit.(15e1−25)−(15)=15e−25−15=15e−40.
