Properties of definite integrals

Problem 4.630 · easy

Suppose \( \displaystyle \int_0^{4} f(x)\,dx = 5 \), \( \displaystyle \int_0^{2} f(x)\,dx = 8 \), \( \displaystyle \int_0^{4} g(x)\,dx = 4 \) and \( \displaystyle \int_0^{2} g(x)\,dx = -5 \). Find \( \displaystyle \int_{0}^{4} \left(2 f(x) - 3 g(x)\right) dx \).
  1. The integral of a sum is the sum of the integrals, and constants factor out.
  2. \[ \left(-3\right) 4 + 0 \cdot 4 + 2 \cdot 5 = -2 \]

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by generator:structured/integral_properties, checked 2026-10-07 with SymPy 1.14.0.
