Definite Integral: Practice Problem Help

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of definite integrals in calculus, specifically addressing the necessity of having limits of integration. Participants confirm that a definite integral must include bounds to be valid. The conversation also emphasizes the importance of academic integrity, noting that confirming answers for graded assignments is generally not permitted unless approved by the professor. The context is a practice assignment, which allows for more open discussion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with definite integrals and their properties
  • Knowledge of limits of integration
  • Experience with practice assignments in mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the properties of definite integrals in calculus
  • Practice solving definite integrals with various limits of integration
  • Explore academic integrity policies in educational settings
  • Utilize online resources for calculus practice problems
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, educators teaching mathematics, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of definite integrals and their applications.

My professor sent out an online work sheet with tons of practice problems, and I'm having trouble with this one, is my answer right? (see link) I chose this because a definite integral has to have limits, correct?

Re: Calculus Definite Integral help?

Hi there pleashelpme, (Wave)

Yep, you are correct. A definite integral must have limits of integration, or bounds. By the way, this is just a practice assignment right? ;) We as a rule can't directly give or confirm answers for graded assignments unless the professor is ok with it.

Thanks! No worries, it's only a practice quiz that doesn't count for a grade, but it doesn't give the answers afterwards and most of the questions I was sure about...but not this one.
