The value of the definite integral of (3x² + 1) with respect to x from x = 0 to x = 2 is:

The definite integral of 3x² + 1 from 0 to 2 equals 10. The antiderivative is x³ + x, which gives 8 + 2 = 10 at the upper limit, and the value at zero is nil, so the area under the curve over that interval is 10.

  4. D12

Explanation

The antiderivative of 3x² + 1 is x³ + x. At x = 2 it is 8 + 2 = 10, and at x = 0 it is 0, so the value is 10. Choosing 8 comes from dropping the +1 term, which integrates to x and adds 2.
