Find the area bounded under the curve y = 3x2 + 6x + 7 and the X-axis with the ordinates at x = 5 and x = 10.
let us consider a point P (x, y) on the curve between x=5 and x=10.
Imagine a very small increment dx, next to x. Now the area of the small strip is ![]()

Dividing the whole area into strips of thickness dx, total area will be the integration of all areas between x=5 and x=10.
Hence,
![]()
![]()
![]()
{between limits x=5 and x=10, C is a constant of integration}
→![]()
![]()
