Short Answer

Evaluate the integral

\(\int\limits_{{\rm{ - 2}}}^{\rm{0}} {\left( {{\rm{(}}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - t}}} \right)} {\rm{dt}}\) \(\)

The value of the integral is \(\frac{{{\rm{21}}}}{{\rm{5}}}\)

Step by Step Solution

TABLE OF CONTENTS :
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1: Evaluation Theorem

If \({\rm{f}}\)is continuous on the interval \(\left( {{\rm{a,b}}} \right)\), then \(\int\limits_{\rm{a}}^{\rm{b}} {{\rm{f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a)}}} \)

Where \({\rm{F}}\) is any antiderivative of \({\rm{f}}\), that is \({{\rm{F}}^{\rm{'}}}{\rm{ = f}}\)

Step 2: Cancels out arbitrary constant C

To find the general antiderivative, using the indefinite integral

\(\)

and ignoring (just for the moment) the boundaries of integration.

We will leave out the arbitrary constant C, since it cancels out when calculating a definite integral.

Step 3: Using Evaluation theorem

\(\begin{array}{c}\int {{\rm{(}}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{4}}}} {\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{4}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ - t)dt = }}\left( {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{10}}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{16}}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{t}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right]_{{\rm{ - 2}}}^{\rm{0}}\\{\rm{ &= }}\left( {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{(0)}}}^{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{16}}}}{{{\rm{(0)}}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}{\rm{(0)}}} \right){\rm{ - }}\left( {\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{10}}}}{{{\rm{( - 2)}}}^{\rm{5}}}{\rm{ + }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{{\rm{16}}}}{{{\rm{( - 2)}}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ - }}\frac{{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{2}}}{{{\rm{( - 2)}}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)\\ &= - \left( {\frac{{32}}{{10}} + 1 - 2} \right) = - \left( { - \frac{{42}}{{10}}} \right) = \frac{{21}}{5}\end{array}\)
