Am I missing something here? \(\displaystyle P_0\) apparently does not depend upon the variable C so the anti-derivative is just
[tex]\frac{1}{2}C^2- 3P_0C[/tex]

It's easy to evaluate that at b and a and subtract. Do you have a question about it?

No, It's a riddle, if you solve it it will say R2-D2.
Thought it would be a worthwhile mention here :P
