How do you evaluate the definite integral #int (1/2x-1) dx# from #[0, 3]#? Calculus Introduction to Integration Definite and indefinite integrals 1 Answer Narad T. Nov 2, 2016 The answer is #=-3/4# Explanation: Use #intx^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C# #int_0^3(x/2-1)dx=int_0^3x/2dx-int_0^3 1*dx=(x^2/4-x)_0^3# #=(9/4-3)-0=-3/4# Answer link Related questions What is the difference between definite and indefinite integrals?
