Solve ∫ (from 0 to 5) of (3x^2-5) wrt x

$$\int _ { 0 } ^ { 5 } ( 3 x ^ { 2 } - 5 ) d x$$

Evaluate

$$100$$

Solution Steps

Evaluate the indefinite integral first.

$$\int 3x^{2}-5\mathrm{d}x$$

Integrate the sum term by term.

$$\int 3x^{2}\mathrm{d}x+\int -5\mathrm{d}x$$

Factor out the constant in each of the terms.

$$3\int x^{2}\mathrm{d}x+\int -5\mathrm{d}x$$

Since \int x^{k}\mathrm{d}x=\frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1} for k\neq -1, replace \int x^{2}\mathrm{d}x with \frac{x^{3}}{3}. Multiply 3 times \frac{x^{3}}{3}.

$$x^{3}+\int -5\mathrm{d}x$$

Find the integral of -5 using the table of common integrals rule \int a\mathrm{d}x=ax.

$$x^{3}-5x$$

The definite integral is the antiderivative of the expression evaluated at the upper limit of integration minus the antiderivative evaluated at the lower limit of integration.

$$5^{3}-5\times 5-\left(0^{3}-5\times 0\right)$$

Simplify.

$$100$$
