If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (you should be able to scroll/swipe to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.
Assignment Problems Notice
Please do not email me to get solutions and/or answers to these problems. I will not give them out under any circumstances nor will I respond to any requests to do so. The intent of these problems is for instructors to use them for assignments and having solutions/answers easily available defeats that purpose.

Section 5.6 : Definition of the Definite Integral

For problems 1 – 4 use the definition of the definite integral to evaluate the integral. Use the right end point of each interval for \(x_{,円i}^*\).

  1. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{1}{{7 - 4x,円dx}}\)
  2. \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}{{3{x^2} + 4x,円dx}}\)
  3. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 1}}^{1}{{{{\left( {x - 3} \right)}^2},円dx}}\)
  4. \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{3}{{8{x^3} + 3x - 2,円dx}}\)
  5. Evaluate : \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 123}}^{{ - 123}}{{{{\cos }^6}\left( {2x} \right) - {{\sin }^8}\left( {4x} \right),円dx}}\)

For problems 6 – 8 determine the value of the given integral given that \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{5}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = 1\) and \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{5}{{g\left( x \right),円dx}} = 8\).

  1. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{5}{{ - 3g\left( x \right),円dx}}\)
  2. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{5}{{7f\left( x \right) - \frac{1}{4}g\left( x \right),円dx}}\)
  3. \( \displaystyle \int_{5}^{{ - 2}}{{12g\left( x \right) - 3f\left( x \right),円dx}}\)
  4. Determine the value of \( \displaystyle \int_{7}^{{ - 1}}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}}\) given that \( \displaystyle \int_{{13}}^{7}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = - 9\) and \( \displaystyle \int_{{13}}^{{ - 1}}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = - 12\).
  5. Determine the value of \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{6}{{4f\left( x \right),円dx}}\) given that \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{5}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = 10\) and \( \displaystyle \int_{5}^{6}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = 3\).
  6. Determine the value of \( \displaystyle \int_{2}^{{10}}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}}\) given that \( \displaystyle \int_{2}^{4}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = - 1\), \( \displaystyle \int_{4}^{7}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = 3\) and \( \displaystyle \int_{{10}}^{7}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = - 8\).
  7. Determine the value of \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 5}}^{{ - 1}}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}}\) given that \( \displaystyle \int_{2}^{{ - 5}}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = 56\), \( \displaystyle \int_{7}^{2}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = - 90\) and \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 1}}^{7}{{f\left( x \right),円dx}} = 45\).

For problems 13 – 17 sketch the graph of the integrand and use the area interpretation of the definite integral to determine the value of the integral.

  1. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 2}}^{1}{{12 - 5x,円dx}}\)
  2. \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{4}{{\sqrt {16 - {x^2}} ,円dx}}\)
  3. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 3}}^{3}{{5 - \sqrt {9 - {x^2}} ,円dx}}\)
  4. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 1}}^{3}{{8x - 3,円dx}}\)
  5. \( \displaystyle \int_{1}^{6}{{\left| {x - 3} \right|,円dx}}\)

For problems 18 – 23 differentiate each of the following integrals with respect to x.

  1. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 8}}^{x}{{{{\bf{e}}^{\cos \left( t \right)}},円dt}}\)
  2. \( \displaystyle \int_{2}^{{{x^{,2円}}}}{{\sqrt {\cos \left( t \right) + 3} ,円dt}}\)
  3. \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{{{{\bf{e}}^{3x}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{t^4} + {t^2} + 1}}dt}}\)
  4. \( \displaystyle \int_{{\sin \left( {9x} \right)}}^{8}{{\frac{{{{\bf{e}}^t}}}{{7t}}dt}}\)
  5. \( \displaystyle \int_{{{x^{,3円}}}}^{x}{{{{\cos }^4}\left( t \right) - {{\sin }^2}\left( t \right),円dt}}\)
  6. \( \displaystyle \int_{{9x}}^{{\tan \left( x \right)}}{{\frac{{\cos \left( t \right) + 2}}{{\sin \left( t \right) + 4}},円dt}}\)
  7. Evaluate the limit : \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{\displaystyle \int_{0}^{x}{{{{\bf{e}}^{{t^2}}},円dt}}}}{x}\)
