00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.130
Here is the problem: integrate x to the power 2sin(x) from negative 3 to 4.

2
00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:13.000
Evaluate the definite integral of x squared sin(x) from x equals negative 3 to x equals 4.

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:15.739
Start with the definite integral.

4
00:00:16.189 --> 00:00:28.646
Integration by parts (tabular method). Differentiate the polynomial x squared until it reaches 0, integrate sin(x) the same number of times, and combine with alternating signs.

5
00:00:29.096 --> 00:00:31.186
Combine the alternating products.

6
00:00:31.636 --> 00:00:32.681
Antiderivative.

7
00:00:33.481 --> 00:00:36.163
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus.

8
00:00:36.963 --> 00:00:42.362
So the answer is negative 4.680076795.

9
00:00:42.812 --> 00:00:51.868
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.

10
00:00:52.668 --> 00:00:57.533
Differentiated the antiderivative and compared it with the integrand, which checks out.

11
00:00:57.983 --> 00:01:06.191
Adaptive Simpson prime s rule gives negative 4.680076795, which checks out.
