    Calculus Integration from -10 to 0 Yields a Strange Result

    You're very correct in your declarative statement -- I was a fool in not noticing that the value is negative because it is bellow y=0. I now, shall have to re-think my entire enquiry. Thankyou, mes amis. The issue is now resolved.

    Calculus Integration from -10 to 0 Yields a Strange Result

    Ah bon! But my problem still stands, in that the result is that of a negative value -- should I just ignore the negative sign, and conclude that I must calculate the absolute value of integrals like this in future? EDIT: To treat the integral maybe, as so: |(\int^{0}_{-10}x^3+2dx)|

    Calculus Integration from -10 to 0 Yields a Strange Result

    Calculus Integration from -10 to 0 Yields a Strange Result [RESOLVED] As part of a far greater enquiry, I found myself integrating: \int^{0}_{-10}x^3+2dx So, I began integrating the x^3+2 component, yielding the result of: [\frac{x^4}{4}+2x]^{0}_{-10} Which can then be set out as a...
