02x(x21)dx\int\limits_{0}^{2} x \left(\frac{x}{2} - 1\right)\, dx
Integral(x*(x/2 - 1), (x, 0, 2))
Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the integrand:

    x(x21)=x22xx \left(\frac{x}{2} - 1\right) = \frac{x^{2}}{2} - x

  2. Integrate term-by-term:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      x22dx=x2dx2\int \frac{x^{2}}{2}\, dx = \frac{\int x^{2}\, dx}{2}

      1. The integral of xnx^{n} is xn+1n+1\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n1n \neq -1:

        x2dx=x33\int x^{2}\, dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3}

      So, the result is: x36\frac{x^{3}}{6}

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      (x)dx=xdx\int \left(- x\right)\, dx = - \int x\, dx

      1. The integral of xnx^{n} is xn+1n+1\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n1n \neq -1:

        xdx=x22\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}

      So, the result is: x22- \frac{x^{2}}{2}

    The result is: x36x22\frac{x^{3}}{6} - \frac{x^{2}}{2}

  3. Now simplify:

    x2(x3)6\frac{x^{2} \left(x - 3\right)}{6}

  4. Add the constant of integration:

    x2(x3)6+constant\frac{x^{2} \left(x - 3\right)}{6}+ \mathrm{constant}


The answer is:

x2(x3)6+constant\frac{x^{2} \left(x - 3\right)}{6}+ \mathrm{constant}
