hi, I'm sorry I'm asking a lot, but that time i need help

here the question says:
* Verify the inequality without evaluating the definite integrals:

(integration [x^2] from 0 to 1) >= (integration [x^3] from 0 to 1)

i can't solve that question without evaluating the integral
so how can i start it?

thank u a lot ...and any efforts will be appreciated

N.B. if anyone please could inform me how to write mathematical equations in a better form.

I'll give you a hint. Can you show that for all points on the interval x^2>=x^3?

take the dy/dx of both sides.
 
Here's how you would write the equation:

[tex] \int_0^1 x^2 \, dx \geq \int_0^1 x^3 \, dx[/tex]

(click the image to see the source code)
 
You draw the graphs for x^2 & x^3
In the interval [0,1]
The area under the graph for x^2 is greater than x^3


[tex]\Rightarrow\int_0^1 x^2 \, dx \geq \int_0^1 x^3 \, dx[/tex]
