Q43E
Expert-verifiedIn Example 2 in Section 5.1 we showed that \(\int_0^1 {{x^2}} dx = \frac{1}{3}\). Use this fact and the properties of integrals to evaluate \(\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx\).
The value of \(\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx\) is \(3.\)
Suppose all the following integrals exist.
1. \(\int_a^b c dx = c(b - a)\), where \(c\) is any constant
2. \(\int_a^b {(f(x) + g(x))dx} = \int_a^b {f(x)dx} + \int_a^b {g(x)dx} \)
3. \(\int_a^b c f(x)dx = c\int_a^b f (x)dx\), where \(c\) is any constant
4.
The value of the integral, \(\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx\) as follows.
Apply the properties 3 and 4 in the integral \(\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx\) and compute.
\(\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx = \int_0^1 5 dx - \int_0^1 6 {x^2}dx\)
\( = \int_0^1 5 dx - 6\int_0^1 {{x^2}} dx{\kern 1pt} \,{\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} \,........(1)\)
Apply property 1 in \(\int_0^1 5 dx\) and calculate as,
\(\int_0^1 5 dx = 5(1 - 0)\)
\( = 5\)
It is given that, \(\int_0^1 {{x^2}} dx = \frac{1}{3}\). Substitute this in (1) and compute the value of the integral as follows.
\(\begin{aligned}{l}\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx &= \int_0^1 5 dx - 6\int_0^1 {{x^2}} dx\\ &= 5 - 6 \times \frac{1}{3}\\ &= 5 - 2\\ &= 3\end{aligned}\)
Hence, the value of \(\int_0^1 {\left( {5 - 6{x^2}} \right)} dx\) is 3.
