Evaluate the following integrals:

Question 1(i). \int\limits_1^4 f\left( x \right) dx, where\ f\left( x \right) = \begin{cases}4x + 3 & , & \text{if }1 \leq x \leq 2 \\3x + 5 & , & \text{if }2 \leq x \leq 4\end{cases}

**Solution:

We have,

I = \int\limits_1^4 f\left( x \right) dx, where\ f\left( x \right) = \begin{cases}4x + 3 & , & \text{if }1 \leq x \leq 2 \\3x + 5 & , & \text{if }2 \leq x \leq 4\end{cases}

I = \int_1^4 f\left( x \right) dx

Using additive property, we get

I = \int_1^2 f\left( x \right) d x + \int_2^4 f\left( x \right) d x

I = \int_1^2 \left( 4x + 3 \right) dx + \int_2^4 \left( 3x + 5 \right) dx

I = \int_1^4 f\left( x \right) d x

Using additive property, we get

I = \int_1^3 f\left( x \right) d x + \int_3^4 f\left( x \right) d x

I = \int_1^3 \left( 7x + 3 \right) d x + \int_3^4 8x d x

I = \left[ \frac{7 x^2}{2} + 3x \right]_1^3 + \left[ 4 x^2 \right]_3^4
