Find ∫ ( 2x^4 - 4x^(-0.5) + 3 ) dx

When integrating, you need to add one to the power and divide the term by the power. We will consider each term individually, 2x 4 will become (2x 4+1 )/(4+1) = (2x 5 )/5, -4x -0.5 will become (-4x -0.5+1 )/...

A curve has equation y = f(x) and passes through the point (4,22). Given that f'(x) = 3x^2 - 3x^(1/2) - 7 use intergration to find f(x).

As f '(x) is the differential of f(x) we have to first integrate f '(x). To do this we take each term individually and integrate it. So starting with 3x 2 , to integrate a simple function of x like this we h...
