00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.098
Here is the problem: integrate e to the power x from 1 to 2.

2
00:00:04.548 --> 00:00:10.713
Evaluate the definite integral of e to the power x from x equals 1 to x equals 2.

3
00:00:11.513 --> 00:00:13.382
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:13.832 --> 00:00:21.762
Exponential rule: the integral of eᵘ du equals eᵘ (divide by the inner slope).

5
00:00:22.212 --> 00:00:23.187
Antiderivative.

6
00:00:23.637 --> 00:00:26.261
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

7
00:00:27.061 --> 00:00:31.647
So the answer is 4.67077427.

8
00:00:32.097 --> 00:00:41.037
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.

9
00:00:41.837 --> 00:00:46.760
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

10
00:00:47.210 --> 00:00:54.757
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives 4.67077427, which checks out.
