Answers (1)

best_answer

Given integral: I = \int_{-1}^{1} (x+1)dx

Consider the integral \int (x+1)dx

\int (x+1)dx = \frac{x^2}{2}+x

So, we have the function of xf(x) = \frac{x^2}{2}+x

Now, by Second fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

I = f(1)-f(-1)

= \left ( \frac{1}{2}+1\right ) - \left (\frac{1}{2}-1 \right ) = \frac{1}{2}+1-\frac{1}{2}+1 = 2
