Evaluate the integral from 0 to 2 of (2x^2 + 2) dx.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 28/3
- Step 1: An antiderivative is F(x) = 2/3x^3 + 2x.
- Step 2: F(2) - F(0) = 28/3 - 0 = 28/3.
Answer
28/3.
Why not the others: The coefficient of x^2 must be divided by 3 in the antiderivative and the constant term must contribute c(b - a).
