Definite Integration

Question:

Evaluate the integral: $\int\limits_{2}^{3} x^2 \, dx$

Options:

$\frac{7}{3}$

$9$

$\frac{19}{3}$

$\frac{26}{3}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{19}{3}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{19}{3}$

Let $I = \int\limits_{2}^{3} x^2 \, dx$. Since $\int x^2 \, dx = \frac{x^3}{3} = F(x)$,

Therefore, by the second fundamental theorem, we get

$I = F(3) - F(2) = \frac{27}{3} - \frac{8}{3} = \frac{19}{3} \text{}$
