Identify each expression and value that represents the area under the curve y=x^2+4 on the interval [-3,2]

Alina [70]

The area under a graph is given by the integral of that function, evaluated in the interval of interest:

$\displaystyle \int_{-3}^2 x^2+4\;dx = \left[\dfrac{x^3}{3}+4x\right]_{-3}^2 = \left[\dfrac{2^3}{3}+4\cdot 2\right]-\left[\dfrac{(-3)^3}{3}+4\cdot(-3)\right] = \left[\dfrac{8}{3}+8\right]-\left[-9-12\right] = \dfrac{32}{3}+21 = \dfrac{95}{3}$
