Question 1. Graphical Integration Challenge: u-Substitution and Integration by Parts
Let F(x)=1xf(t)dt and G(x)=0xg(t)dt, where the graphs of f(x) and g(x) on [2,4] are below.
(a) Evaluate 02[F(x)f(x)G(x)g(x)]dx.
HINT: Consider a u-substitution (possibly multiple substitutions). You may need to invoke Part I of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Answer

The final answer would depend on the specific graphs of f(x) and g(x).

Steps

Step 1 :Let F(x)=1xf(t)dt and G(x)=0xg(t)dt, where the graphs of f(x) and g(x) on [2,4] are given.

Step 2 :We are asked to evaluate 02[F(x)f(x)G(x)g(x)]dx.

Step 3 :We can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and u-substitution to simplify the integral. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that if a function f is continuous over the interval [a, b] and F is an antiderivative of f on [a, b], then abf(x)dx=F(b)F(a).

Step 4 :For the first term, let u=F(x) and dv=f(x)dx. Then find du and v, and use the formula for integration by parts, udv=uvvdu, to simplify the integral.

Step 5 :For the second term, let u=G(x) and dv=g(x)dx. Then find du and v, and use the formula for integration by parts, udv=uvvdu, to simplify the integral.

Step 6 :However, without the actual graphs of f(x) and g(x), we cannot provide a numerical answer.

Step 7 :The final answer would depend on the specific graphs of f(x) and g(x).
