integral from 0 to 1 of x*3/2 (1-x^2)

\int_{0}^{1} x \cdot \frac{3}{2} (1 - x^{2}) d x

\frac{3}{8}

Decimal

0.375

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} x \frac{3}{2} (1 - x^{2}) d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{3}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{1} x (1 - x^{2}) d x

Expand

x (1 - x^{2}) : x - x^{3}

= \frac{3}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{1} x - x^{3} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{3}{2} (\int_{0}^{1} x d x - \int_{0}^{1} x^{3} d x)

\int_{0}^{1} x d x = \frac{1}{2}

\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} d x = \frac{1}{4}

= \frac{3}{2} (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4})

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4}) : \frac{3}{8}

= \frac{3}{8}
