Chapter 4: Integration
Section 4.2: The Definite Integral
Example 4.2.2
Evaluate the definite integral of 2 sinx+3 cosx on the interval 0,π/2.
Verify that for this integrand the definite integral is a linear operator.
Solution
For part (a), write a single definite integral; for part (b), write a linear combination of two definite integrals. The results should be the same.
