If _ - /2 ^ /2 ( ^2 x + ^3 x)dx = k , then the value of k
Options
- A0
- B1
- C2
Correct answer
3
Step-by-step solution
Let I = _ - /2 ^ /2 ( ^2 x + ^3 x) dx I = _ - /2 ^ /2 ^2 x dx + _ - /2 ^ /2 ^3 x dx Since ^3 x is an odd function, _ - /2 ^ /2 ^3 x dx = 0 Since ^2 x is an even function, _ - /2 ^ /2 ^2 x dx = 2 ₀^ /2 ^2 x dx I = 2 ₀^ /2 ^2 x dx = 2 ( 4 ) = 2 Therefore, k = 2 Answer: 2
