By using the fundamental theorem of Calculus. i.e. The integral of f(x) = F(x), your limits are [a,b]. Solve: F(b) - F(a). The FTC, second part, says that if f is a continuous real valued function of [a,b] then the integral from a to b of f(x)= F(b) - F(a) where F is any antiderivative of f, that is, a function such that F'(x) = f(x).
Example: Evaluate the integral form -2 to 3 of x^2. The integral form -2 to 3 of x^2 = F(-2) - F(3) = -2^3/3 - 3^3/3 = -8/3 - 27/3 = -35/3
The integral of 2x is x^2+c, where c is a constant. If this is a definite integral, meaning that the limits of integration are known, then c=0. If this is an indefinite integral, meaning the limits of integration are unknown, then c should either be left as is or solved for using an initial condition.
What are the Applications of definite integrals in the real life?
4 is a constant, so you can pull it out of the integral. Use a u substitution with u = 3-x and du = -dx. If it's a definite integral, remember to change the limits of integration. The integral is then simply 1/u which integrates to be ln u. Substitute back in 3-x for u and you have the answer to be: -4*ln (3-x) + C
In order to evaluate a definite integral first find the indefinite integral. Then subtract the integral evaluated at the bottom number (usually the left endpoint) from the integral evaluated at the top number (usually the right endpoint). For example, if I wanted the integral of x from 1 to 2 (written with 1 on the bottom and 2 on the top) I would first evaluate the integral: the integral of x is (x^2)/2 Then I would subtract the integral evaluated at 1 from the integral evaluated at 2: (2^2)/2-(1^2)/2 = 2-1/2 =3/2.
One of the major applications of indefinite integrals is to calculate definite integrals. If you can't find the indefinite integral (or "antiderivative") of a function, some sort of numerical method has to be used to calculate the definite integral. This might be seen as clumsy and inelegant, but it is often the only way to solve such a problem.Definite integrals, in turn, are used to calculate areas, volumes, work, and many other physical quantities that can be expressed as the area under a curve.
It tells you the area of the function (curve) between the two limits.

The integral of 2x is x^2+c, where c is a constant. If this is a definite integral, meaning that the limits of integration are known, then c=0. If this is an indefinite integral, meaning the limits of integration are unknown, then c should either be left as is or solved for using an initial condition.
Definite integrals are definite because the limits of integration are prescribed. It is also the area enclosed by the curve and the ordinates corresponding to the two limits of integration. Antiderivatives are inverse functios of derivatives. If the limits of the integral are dropped then the integration gives antiderivative. Example Definite integral of x with respect to x between the value of x squared divided by 2 between the limits 0 and 1 is 1/2. Antiderivative of x is x squared divided by two.

Constants can be integrated by multiplying the integrand(thing being integrated) times the difference between the starting point a and the ending point b i.e the integral from 0 to 10 would be 5,000,960 Depends. Are you referring to an indefinite integral (a plain ∫) or a definite integral? I'm not sure about this(i've only spent 2 days learning about integrals), but the indefinite integral of 500096 is 500096x+C. The definite integral of 500096 depends on what are your limits. Look at the answer above.
Where you refer to a particular integral I will assume you mean a definite integral. To illustrate why there is no constant of integration in the result of a definite integral let me take a simple example. Consider the definite integral of 1 from 0 to 1. The antiderivative of this function is x + C, where C is the so-called constant of integration. Now to evaluate the definite integral we calculate the difference between the value of the antiderivative at the upper limit of integration and the value of it at the lower limit of integration: (1 + C) - (0 + C) = 1 The C's cancel out. Furthermore, they will cancel out no matter what the either antiderivatives happen to be or what the limits of integration happen to be.
The two types of integration are definite integration and indefinite integration. Definite integration involves finding the exact numerical value of the integral within specified limits, while indefinite integration involves finding the antiderivative of a function without specific limits.
For it to be a definite integral, you would need to specify a range. We can however give you the indefinite integral. The easiest way to do this is to think of it not as a fraction, but as a negative exponent: 1/x2 = x-2 It then becomes quite easy to integrate, as we can say in general: ∫(axn) dx = ax(n + 1) / (n + 1) + C In this case then, we have: ∫(x-2) dx = -x-1 + C, or -1/x + C
An indefinite integral is a version of an integral that, unlike a definite integral, returns an expression instead of a number. The general form of a definite integral is: ∫ba f(x) dx. The general form of an indefinite integral is: ∫ f(x) dx. An example of a definite integral is: ∫20 x2 dx. An example of an indefinite integral is: ∫ x2 dx In the definite case, the answer is 23/3 - 03/3 = 8/3. In the indefinite case, the answer is x3/3 + C, where C is an arbitrary constant.
yes
gemetrically the definite integral gives the area under the curve of the integrand. explain the corresponding interpretation for a line integral.
