Recognize Integral Independence: First, we need to recognize that the integral provided does not depend on an angle θ, so the limits of integration from 0 to 180 degrees are not applicable. Instead, we should consider the integral in terms of x. The integral to solve is ∫3x(2x−1)2dx.
Expand Integrands: Next, we will expand the integrand. The term (2x−1)2 can be expanded to 4x2−4x+1. So the integral becomes ∫3x(4x2−4x+1)dx.
Distribute and Simplify: We can distribute 3x across the terms inside the parentheses to get ∫(3x×4x2−3x×4x+3x×1)dx, which simplifies to ∫(4x5/2−4x3/2+3x1/2)dx.
Integrate Each Term: Now we can integrate each term separately. The antiderivative of xn is (xn+1)/(n+1) for n=−1. Applying this rule to each term, we get:∫4x5/2dx=(4/((5/2)+1))x(5/2)+1=(4/((7/2)))x7/2=(8/7)x7/2∫−4x3/2dx=(−4/((3/2)+1))x(3/2)+1=(−4/((5/2)))x5/2=(−8/5)x5/2∫3x1/2dx=(3/((1/2)+1))x(1/2)+1=(3/(3/2))x3/2=2x3/2
Combine Results: Combining these results, the antiderivative of the original integral is (78)x(27)−(58)x(25)+2x(23)+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Evaluate Final Answer: Since there are no limits of integration provided in the original problem, we cannot evaluate the definite integral. The final answer is the indefinite integral in its simplest form.
