Solution and Explanation

\(\int \frac{x^3+5x^2-4}{x^2}dx\)

=\(\int (x+5-4x^{-2})dx\)

=\(\int xdx +5 \int 1.dx-4\int x^{-2}dx\)

=\(\frac{x^2}{2}+5x-4\bigg(\frac{x^{-1}}{-1}\bigg)+C\)

=\(\frac{x^2}{2}+5x+\frac{4}{x}+C\)

Integral

The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.

  • The definite integral of a function can be shown as the area of the region bounded by its graph of the given function between two points in the line.
  • The area of a region is found by splitting it into thin vertical rectangles and applying the lower and the upper limits, the area of the region is summarized.
  • An integral of a function over an interval on which the integral is described.

Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.

F'(x) = f(x)

For every value of x = I.

Types of Integrals:

Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:

  1. The problem of getting a function if its derivative is given.
  2. The problem of getting the area bounded by the graph of a function under given situations.
