1. Integration of Polynomials

Let f(x) = -x² + 2x + 3. The integral is:

• a) ∫(-x² + 2x + 3) dx = -x³/3 + x² + 3x + C
• b) [-x³/3 + x² + 3x] from 1 to 2 = 11/3

2. Finding f(x) from f'(x)

Let f'(x) = 3x² - 3. Given f(2) = 1, find f(x):

f(x) = x³ - 3x + C. Substituting f(2) = 1: 8 - 6 + C = 1, so C = -1. Thus, f(x) = x³ - 3x - 1.

3. Solving for f(x) with Initial Conditions

Let f'(x) = 6x² + 2x - 1. Given f(2) = 5:

f(x) = 2x³ + x² - x + C. Substituting f(2) = 5: 2(8) + 4 - 2 + C = 5, so 18 + C = 5, C = -13. Thus, f(x) = 2x³ + x² - x - 13.

4. Polynomial Integration

Let f(x) = 3x² - 4x:

• a) ∫f(x) dx = x³ - 2x² + C
• b) Evaluation results in 32.

5. Definite Integral Properties

Consider ∫₁⁵ f(x) dx = 6:

• a) ∫₁⁵ 2f(x) dx = 2 ∫₁⁵ f(x) dx = 2(6) = 12
• b) ∫₁³ 3 dx
