00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.946
Here is the problem: integrate e to the power x from negative 3 to 4.

2
00:00:05.396 --> 00:00:11.584
Evaluate the definite integral of e to the power x from x equals negative 3 to x equals 4.

3
00:00:12.384 --> 00:00:14.323
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:14.773 --> 00:00:23.051
Exponential rule: the integral of eᵘ du equals eᵘ (divide by the inner slope).

5
00:00:23.501 --> 00:00:24.569
Antiderivative.

6
00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:27.666
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

7
00:00:28.466 --> 00:00:33.087
So the answer is 54.54836296.

8
00:00:33.537 --> 00:00:42.245
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
00:00:43.044 --> 00:00:48.152
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

10
00:00:48.602 --> 00:00:55.533
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives 54.54836296, which checks out.
