computing the definite integral of a polynomial
we want to focus on the definite integral of a polynomial function. these arise very commonly in calculus, so here are detailed solutions to two problems, one multiple-choice and one free-response, involving a definite integral of polynomial. free-response definite integrals: you will not commonly be asked to evaluate common definite integrals on the free-response,…
