$$\int _ { 2 } ^ { 10 } ( x ^ { 3 } + 4 x + 9 )$$

Evaluate

$$2760$$

Solution Steps

Evaluate the indefinite integral first.

$$\int x^{3}+4x+9\mathrm{d}x$$

Integrate the sum term by term.

$$\int x^{3}\mathrm{d}x+\int 4x\mathrm{d}x+\int 9\mathrm{d}x$$

Factor out the constant in each of the terms.

$$\int x^{3}\mathrm{d}x+4\int x\mathrm{d}x+\int 9\mathrm{d}x$$

Since \int x^{k}\mathrm{d}x=\frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1} for k\neq -1, replace \int x^{3}\mathrm{d}x with \frac{x^{4}}{4}.

$$\frac{x^{4}}{4}+4\int x\mathrm{d}x+\int 9\mathrm{d}x$$

Since \int x^{k}\mathrm{d}x=\frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1} for k\neq -1, replace \int x\mathrm{d}x with \frac{x^{2}}{2}. Multiply 4 times \frac{x^{2}}{2}.

$$\frac{x^{4}}{4}+2x^{2}+\int 9\mathrm{d}x$$

Find the integral of 9 using the table of common integrals rule \int a\mathrm{d}x=ax.

$$\frac{x^{4}}{4}+2x^{2}+9x$$

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.

$$\frac{10^{4}}{4}+2\times 10^{2}+9\times 10-\left(\frac{2^{4}}{4}+2\times 2^{2}+9\times 2\right)$$

Simplify.

$$2760$$
