If f(x) = 4x2 + x + 2, then an antiderivative (without the constant) is found by raising each exponent by 1, and multiplying by the reciprocal of the new exponent--or equivalently dividing by the new exponent--term by term.
F(x) = (4/3)x3 + (1/2)x2 + 2x
To evaluate the definite integral determine F(2) - F(1).
[((4/3)(2)3 + (1/2)(2)2 + 2(2) ) - (4/3 + 1/2 + 2)]
[(32/3 + 2 + 4) - (4/3 + 1/2 + 2)]
[(64/6 + 36/6) - (8/6 + 3/6 + 12/6)]
[(100/6) - (23/6)]
77/6

I see the problem. The lower limit is minus 1 (-1), I did not see the negative sign. Check out this updated graph. desmos.com/calculator/vylczxg6ya Using the limit of a Riemann sum will give the same answer. Let me know if you need to understand how to do that.02/01/24

The correct answer was 39/2 I think you may have used the wrong method. I think the correct method was usuing a riemann sum. Could you still be able to show the process step by step?02/01/24
