Homework Statement
I was asked to find the distance a particle had traveled and was given its integral solved, except the upper limit was an equation.
[itex](x^2+2x)[/itex] is the force in pounds that acts on the particle
Homework Equations
[itex]\int_{0}^{x^2+2}(x^2+2x)dx = 108[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I know I must find what number the top limit equation equals, but I've been inserting random numbers with no success. Also, I don't know if it is possible to find the value of x and plug it in. This is ridiculous, why couldn't they just give me the integral with the limits and I solve it.
