Questions: a. ∫ from 1 to 3 of 6 f(x) dx = □ (Simplify your answer.)
Transcript text: a. $\int_{1}^{3} 6 f(x) d x=\square$ (Simplify your answer.)
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the integral
The integral given is \(\int_{1}^{3} 6 f(x) \, dx\). This represents the definite integral of the function \(6 f(x)\) from \(x = 1\) to \(x = 3\).
Step 2: Factor out the constant
Since \(6\) is a constant, it can be factored out of the integral:
\[
\int_{1}^{3} 6 f(x) \, dx = 6 \int_{1}^{3} f(x) \, dx.
\]
Step 3: Evaluate the integral
The integral \(\int_{1}^{3} f(x) \, dx\) is not specified in the problem, so we cannot compute its exact value. However, the problem asks us to simplify the expression, which we have done by factoring out the constant.
