integral from 1 to 4 of (sqrt(x)-2)

\int_{1}^{4} (x - 2) d x

- \frac{4}{3}

Decimal

- 1.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{4} x - 2 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

= \int_{1}^{4} x d x - \int_{1}^{4} 2 d x

\int_{1}^{4} x d x = \frac{14}{3}

\int_{1}^{4} 2 d x = 6

= \frac{14}{3} - 6

Simplify

\frac{14}{3} - 6 : - \frac{4}{3}

= - \frac{4}{3}
