Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #104

Evaluate \(\int_{-2}^2x^2/(1+5^x)dx\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 8/3
  1. Let I be the integral. Reflect x↦−x; x² is unchanged.
  2. The reflected expression is I=∫₋₂²5^x x²/(1+5^x)dx.
  3. Add the two expressions to get 2I=∫₋₂²x²dx=16/3.
  4. Therefore the integral equals 8/3.
