How is the integral of 3x + 4 evaluated from 2 to 5?
-The integral is evaluated by first finding the antiderivative of 3x, which is (3x^2)/2, and the antiderivative of 4, which is 4x. Then, using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the definite integral is calculated as F(5) - F(2) = [(3*(5^2))/2 - 4*5] - [(3*(2^2))/2 - 4*2].

-The second example is the integral of the expression (2x - 3)(x - 3) from 1 to 4. The example involves expanding the expression, finding the antiderivative, and then applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the definite integral.
How is the expression (2x - 3)(x - 3) expanded?
-The expression is expanded by multiplying the two binomials: (2x - 3)(x - 3) = 2x^2 - 6x - 3x + 9, which simplifies to 2x^2 - 9x + 9.
What is the antiderivative of 2x^2 - 9x + 9?
-The antiderivative of 2x^2 - 9x + 9 is (2x^3)/3 - (9x^2)/2 + 9x, considering the power rule for integration and the fact that a constant can be moved outside the integral.
What is the final answer for the integral of (2x - 3)(x - 3) from 1 to 4?
-The final answer for the integral is 21.
What is the third example discussed in the video?
-The third example is the integral of β(5/x) from 1 to 4. The example involves rewriting the integrand and applying the power rule for integration.
How is the integral of β(5/x) evaluated from 1 to 4?
-The integral is evaluated by rewriting the expression as (β5)/βx and then using the power rule to find the antiderivative, which is 2β5 * (βx)^(-1). The definite integral is then calculated by substituting the values of x = 4 and x = 1 into the antiderivative and finding the difference.
What is the result of the integral of β(5/x) from 1 to 4?
-The result of the integral is 2β5.
What is the final example solved in the video using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?
-The final example is the integral of (4/x + βx) from 0 to 1. The example involves separating the constant term, applying the power rule for integration, and then evaluating the antiderivative at the interval endpoints.
What is the antiderivative of x + βx?
-The antiderivative of x + βx is (x^2)/2 + (2/3)x^(3/2), found by applying the power rule for both terms.
What is the final answer for the integral of (4/x + βx) from 0 to 1?
-The final answer for the integral is 7/24.

π Introduction to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
This paragraph introduces the second part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which is essential for understanding how to evaluate definite integrals. It explains that given a continuous function f on a closed interval [a, b], and F as the antiderivative of f, the definite integral of f(x) from a to b is equal to F(b) - F(a). The explanation is supported by an example where the anti-derivatives of 3x and 4 are found using the power rule, and then used to evaluate the integral from 2 to 5. The calculations are shown step-by-step, leading to a final answer of 39/2.
π§ Working with Polynomial Functions and Integration
The second paragraph delves into evaluating more complex integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It starts by expanding the product (2x - 3)(x - 3), resulting in a polynomial function 4x^2 - 12x + 9. The antiderivative F(x) is then found by applying the power rule and integrating constants. The definite integral from 1 to 4 is evaluated next, with the result calculated in a step-by-step manner, leading to a final answer of 21.
π Evaluating Definite Integrals with Non-Polynomial Functions
The final paragraph discusses the evaluation of definite integrals involving non-polynomial functions. It begins with the integral of β(5/x) from 1 to 4, which is simplified by separating the constant and rewriting the expression using exponents. The power rule is applied to find the antiderivative, and the integral is evaluated, resulting in a final answer of 2β5. The paragraph concludes with another example where a constant is factored out and the integral of x + βx is evaluated, leading to a final result of 7/24.
