Homework Statement
Hi guys, need help evaluating this integral.
Integrate from -1 to 1
(t^i)(t^5-t^4) dt
Where i just an arbitrary variable, (it's actually an index number of a matrix)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So I thought I would begin by expanding the bracket to get
(t^(5+i))+(t^(4+i)) dt
then just evaluating it like you do
((t^(6+i))/(6+i))+((t^(5+i))/(5+i)) from -1 to 1
then just plugging the -1 and 1 into the t's, to get
((-2)^(6+i)/(6+i))+(2^(5+i)/(5+i))
