12th Grade Integration (Polynomials) Worksheet — Level 3 — Practice Set 3 — Answers
Use the rule ∫ xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹ / (n+1) + C.
1.Find ∫ (8x3 − 6x2 − 2) dx
Answer: 2x4 − 2x3 − 2x + C
- ∫ 8x3 dx = 2x4
- ∫ −6x2 dx = −2x3
- ∫ −2 dx = −2x
- Don't forget the constant of integration, C
2.Evaluate ∫ from 0 to 2 of (−6x2 − 4x − 2) dx
Answer: −28
- ∫ −6x2 dx = −2x3
- ∫ −4x dx = −2x2
- ∫ −2 dx = −2x
- F(x) = −2x3 − 2x2 − 2x
- F(2) − F(0) = −28 − (0) = −28
3.Evaluate ∫ from 2 to 4 of (−15x4 + 8x + 2) dx
Answer: −2924
- ∫ −15x4 dx = −3x5
- ∫ 8x dx = 4x2
- ∫ 2 dx = 2x
- F(x) = −3x5 + 4x2 + 2x
- F(4) − F(2) = −3000 − (−76) = −2924
4.Evaluate ∫ from 2 to 3 of (−8x3 − 3x2 − 4x) dx
Answer: −159
- ∫ −8x3 dx = −2x4
- ∫ −3x2 dx = −x3
- ∫ −4x dx = −2x2
- F(x) = −2x4 − x3 − 2x2
- F(3) − F(2) = −207 − (−48) = −159
5.Evaluate ∫ from 1 to 2 of (20x4 − 6x2 − 4x) dx
Answer: 104
- ∫ 20x4 dx = 4x5
- ∫ −6x2 dx = −2x3
- ∫ −4x dx = −2x2
- F(x) = 4x5 − 2x3 − 2x2
- F(2) − F(1) = 104 − (0) = 104
6.Find ∫ (4x3 + 12x2 + 4) dx
Answer: x4 + 4x3 + 4x + C
- ∫ 4x3 dx = x4
- ∫ 12x2 dx = 4x3
- ∫ 4 dx = 4x
- Don't forget the constant of integration, C
7.Evaluate ∫ from 2 to 5 of (−15x4 − 6x2 − 6x) dx
Answer: −9576
- ∫ −15x4 dx = −3x5
- ∫ −6x2 dx = −2x3
- ∫ −6x dx = −3x2
- F(x) = −3x5 − 2x3 − 3x2
- F(5) − F(2) = −9700 − (−124) = −9576
8.Evaluate ∫ from 2 to 3 of (5x4 − 8x3 − 3x2) dx
Answer: 62
- ∫ 5x4 dx = x5
- ∫ −8x3 dx = −2x4
- ∫ −3x2 dx = −x3
- F(x) = x5 − 2x4 − x3
- F(3) − F(2) = 54 − (−8) = 62
9.Evaluate ∫ from 1 to 4 of (12x3 − 2x + 4) dx
Answer: 762
- ∫ 12x3 dx = 3x4
- ∫ −2x dx = −x2
- ∫ 4 dx = 4x
- F(x) = 3x4 − x2 + 4x
- F(4) − F(1) = 768 − (6) = 762
10.Find ∫ (3x2 − 4x − 2) dx
Answer: x3 − 2x2 − 2x + C
- ∫ 3x2 dx = x3
- ∫ −4x dx = −2x2
- ∫ −2 dx = −2x
- Don't forget the constant of integration, C
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
