More with the Definite Integral¶
WARM UP
- Evaluate the following definite integral. Interpret the integral as an area, and describe the region with a graph.
- Suppose the function \(8x^3 - x^2\) represents the velocity of a car in miles per hour at a time \(x\). Interpret the integral: \(\int_{0} ^4 8x^3 - x^2 dx\)
- Suppose the function \(8x^3 - x^2\) represents the rate at which water flows through a canal in ft\(^3\). Interpret the integral: \(\int_{0} ^4 8x^3 - x^2 dx\).

More Rules of Integrals¶
\(\displaystyle \int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C\) | \(\displaystyle \int e^{ax} dx = \frac{1}{a} e^{ax} + C\) |
