00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.110
Here is the problem: integral of 2x plus 3 from 1 to 4.

2
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.667
Evaluate the definite integral of 2 x plus 3 from x equals 1 to x equals 4.

3
00:00:11.467 --> 00:00:13.290
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:20.996
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

5
00:00:21.446 --> 00:00:27.762
Constant multiple rule: the integral of k times f dx equals k the integral of f dx.

6
00:00:28.212 --> 00:00:32.310
Constant rule: the integral of k dx equals kx.

7
00:00:33.110 --> 00:00:35.641
Sum rule: integrate term by term.

8
00:00:36.091 --> 00:00:37.124
Antiderivative.

9
00:00:37.574 --> 00:00:40.233
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

10
00:00:41.033 --> 00:00:42.914
So the answer is 24.

11
00:00:43.364 --> 00:00:52.443
A definite integral gives the signed area between the curve and the x-axis: area above the axis counts as positive and area below counts as negative.

12
00:00:53.243 --> 00:00:58.166
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

13
00:00:58.616 --> 00:01:02.958
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives 24, which checks out.
