The value of the integral _ - / 2 ^ / 2 (x²+ +x -x ) x d x is
Options
- A0
- B² 2 -4
- C² 2 +4
- D² 2
Correct answer
B. ² 2 -4
Step-by-step solution
_ - / 2 ^ / 2 [x²+ ( +x -x ) ] x d x= _ - / 2 ^ / 2 x² x d x+ _ - / 2 ^ / 2 ( +x -x ) x d x=2 ₀^ / 2 x² x d x+0 [ x² x . is an even function and ( +x -x ) x is an odd function] =2 [x² x+2 x x-2 x ]₀^ / 2 = ² 2 -4
