Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Okay, so I already know the answer, but I'm unsure about one thing.
It's ture that you have to break the equation such that it says [tex]\int_{2}^{3} x^2 dx[/tex] - [tex]\int_{0}^{2} 4 dx[/tex], but how would you go about finding which upper and lower limits to set for the two integration problems like that?
I know how to take care of the rest once I find those, but I'm not sure how to get the upper and lower limits once I break the equation into two.
