Definite integral of a line
Guided practice — solve each problem, check, then generate a fresh one.
Formula to apply
∫₀ᵇ (a x + c) dx = a·b²/2 + c·b
Problem
Evaluate ∫ from 0 to 6 of (2x + 4) dx.
Working
- 1Antiderivative: F(x) = 1x² + 4x.
- 2F(6) = 36 + 24 = 60.
- 3F(0) = 0, so ∫ = F(6) − F(0) = 60.
