Step-by-step solution

  1. Simplify the integrand by factoring the numerator.

    The integrand is (x−2)(6x2−x−2)(2x+1)\frac{(x-2)(6x^2 - x - 2)}{(2x+1)}.
    First, factor the quadratic term 6x2−x−26x^2 - x - 2. We look for two numbers that multiply to 6×(−2)=−126 \times (-2) = -12 and add to −1-1. These numbers are −4-4 and 3.

    6x2−x−2=6x2−4x+3x−26x^2 - x - 2 = 6x^2 - 4x + 3x - 2 =2x(3x−2)+1(3x−2)= 2x(3x - 2) + 1(3x - 2) =(2x+1)(3x−2)= (2x+1)(3x-2)

    Now substitute this back into the integrand:

    (x−2)(6x2−x−2)(2x+1)=(x−2)(2x+1)(3x−2)(2x+1)\frac{(x-2)(6x^2 - x - 2)}{(2x+1)} = \frac{(x-2)(2x+1)(3x-2)}{(2x+1)}

    Assuming 2x+1≠02x+1 \neq 0, we can cancel the (2x+1)(2x+1) terms:

    (x−2)(3x−2)(x-2)(3x-2)

    Expand this product:

    (x−2)(3x−2)=x(3x−2)−2(3x−2)(x-2)(3x-2) = x(3x-2) - 2(3x-2) =3x2−2x−6x+4= 3x^2 - 2x - 6x + 4 =3x2−8x+4= 3x^2 - 8x + 4

    So the integral becomes:

    ∫−23(3x2−8x+4)dx\int_{-2}^{3} (3x^2 - 8x + 4) dx
  2. Find the antiderivative of the simplified expression.

    The antiderivative of 3x2−8x+43x^2 - 8x + 4 is:

    F(x)=3x2+12+1−8x1+11+1+4xF(x) = \frac{3x^{2+1}}{2+1} - \frac{8x^{1+1}}{1+1} + 4x F(x)=3x33−8x22+4xF(x) = \frac{3x^3}{3} - \frac{8x^2}{2} + 4x F(x)=x3−4x2+4xF(x) = x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x
  3. Evaluate the definite integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

    ∫−23(3x2−8x+4)dx=[x3−4x2+4x]−23\int_{-2}^{3} (3x^2 - 8x + 4) dx = [x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x]_{-2}^{3} =(33−4(3)2+4(3))−((−2)3−4(−2)2+4(−2))= (3^3 - 4(3)^2 + 4(3)) - ((-2)^3 - 4(-2)^2 + 4(-2))

    Calculate the value at the upper limit (x=3x=3):

    33−4(3)2+4(3)=27−4(9)+123^3 - 4(3)^2 + 4(3) = 27 - 4(9) + 12 =27−36+12= 27 - 36 + 12 =−9+12=3= -9 + 12 = 3

    Calculate the value at the lower limit (x=−2x=-2):

    (−2)3−4(−2)2+4(−2)=−8−4(4)−8(-2)^3 - 4(-2)^2 + 4(-2) = -8 - 4(4) - 8 =−8−16−8= -8 - 16 - 8 =−32= -32

    Subtract the lower limit value from the upper limit value:

    3−(−32)=3+32=353 - (-32) = 3 + 32 = 35

    The final answer is 35\mathbf{35}.
