   [itex] \int_0^1 \sqrt{x} - x^3 dx [/itex]
   
   How do I evaluate this?
   
   what does [itex] \sqrt{x} -x^3 = [/itex] ?

   It is [tex]\sqrt{x}+(-x^3) \Rightarrow \int_0^1 \sqrt{x}+(-x^3) dx=\int_0^1 \sqrt{x}+\int_0^1 -x^3 dx[/tex]

   [itex]\sqrt{x}- x^3= x^{1/2}- x^3[/itex]. That should be easy to integrate using the "power rule".
