Answer: (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are five consecutive integers and the least minus twice the greatest equals to -3

Suppose $x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4$ are the five consecutive integers

According to the question

$\Rightarrow x-2(x+4)=-3\\\Rightarrow x-2x-8=-3\\\Rightarrow -x=8-3\\\Rightarrow x=-5$

option (b) is correct.

Integral Calculation

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3(e^2+1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to evaluate:

$\int\limits^1_{-1} {\frac{x^2+1}{e^2+1} } \, dx$

This is the same as:

$\frac{2}{e^2+1} \int\limits^1_{0} {x^2+1} \, dx$

We integrate to obtain:

$\frac{2}{e^2+1} (\frac{x^3}{3}+x)|_0^1$

We evaluate to obtain:

$\frac{2}{e^2+1} (\frac{1^3}{3}+1)=\frac{4}{3(e^2+1)}$
