SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the integral from 4 to 16 using given integral values. The values provided are: integral(1 to 2) g(x)dx = 22, integral(1 to 4) g(x)dx = 7, and integral(1 to 16) g(x)dx = 13. By applying the properties of integrals, specifically the subtraction of integrals, the solution is derived as integral(4 to 16) = integral(1 to 16) - integral(1 to 4), resulting in 6. The final conclusion confirms the correctness of this calculation.

Homework Statement



It is given that

integral(1 to 2) g(x)dx=22
integral (1 to 4) g(x)dx=7
integral (1 to 16) g(x)dx=13

Find integral (4 to 16)


Homework Equations



Using properties of integrals, integral(4 to 16)= integral(1 to 16) - integral(1 to 4)


The Attempt at a Solution



So, you can ignore the in integral (1 to 2) since it is not in the interval you need to solve for.

Integral(1 to 16) - integral(1 to 4) = 13-7 =6

The integral from (4 to 16) = 6

Am I correct?
