00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.689
Here is the problem: integrate 3x squared minus 2x from negative 1 to 2.

2
00:00:06.139 --> 00:00:13.953
Evaluate the definite integral of 3 x squared minus 2 x from x equals negative 1 to x equals 2.

3
00:00:14.753 --> 00:00:16.611
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:17.061 --> 00:00:24.294
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

5
00:00:24.744 --> 00:00:31.327
Constant multiple rule: the integral of k times f dx equals k the integral of f dx.

6
00:00:31.777 --> 00:00:39.114
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

7
00:00:39.915 --> 00:00:46.475
Constant multiple rule: the integral of k times f dx equals k the integral of f dx.

8
00:00:46.925 --> 00:00:49.340
Sum rule: integrate term by term.

9
00:00:49.790 --> 00:00:50.800
Antiderivative.

10
00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:53.909
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

11
00:00:54.709 --> 00:00:56.288
So the answer is 6.

12
00:00:56.738 --> 00:01:05.805
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.

13
00:01:06.605 --> 00:01:11.551
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

14
00:01:12.001 --> 00:01:15.960
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives 6, which checks out.
