I know wolfram|Alpha has the integral syntax, but how do I enter a definite integral such as this?
My goal here is to solve the definite integral by the limit definition, but even if it's solved another way, I just want to check my answer to make sure I am correct. If I cannot enter it with this format, is there another simpler way I can solve the problem using wolfram|alpha to check my answers?
Jessica,
Will this work for what you need:
Integrate[x, {x, -2, 3}] 5/2
If you need faster numerical results then use the form:
Integrate[x, {x, -2.0, 3.0}] 2.5
Best,
OL.
