integral from-1 to 3 of (-x)^3

\int_{- 1}^{3} (- x)^{3} d x

- 20

Solution steps

\int_{- 1}^{3} (- x)^{3} d x

Simplify

(- x)^{3} : - x^{3}

= \int_{- 1}^{3} - x^{3} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int_{- 1}^{3} x^{3} d x

Apply the Power Rule

= - [\frac{x ^{4}}{4}]_{- 1}^{3}

Compute the boundaries:

20

= - 20
