Final Answer: The integral of the function f(x) from -16 to 4 is 53443

Steps

Step 1 :Suppose the function f(x) is defined as {x24x for x<44xx2 for x4

Step 2 :We want to find the integral of f(x) from -16 to 4, which is 164f(x)dx

Step 3 :We split the integral into two parts: from -16 to -4 and from -4 to 4

Step 4 :For the first part, we use the function x24x, so the integral from -16 to -4 is 164(x24x)dx

Step 5 :For the second part, we use the function 4xx2, so the integral from -4 to 4 is 44(4xx2)dx

Step 6 :Therefore, the integral of f(x) from -16 to 4 is 164(x24x)dx+44(4xx2)dx

Step 7 :The integral of the first part is 1824

Step 8 :The integral of the second part is 1283

Step 9 :Adding these two integrals together, we get the final integral is 53443

Step 10 :Final Answer: The integral of the function f(x) from -16 to 4 is 53443
