Section 5.7 : Computing Definite Integrals

  1. Evaluate each of the following integrals.
    1. \( \displaystyle \int{{\cos \left( x \right) - \frac{3}{{{x^5}}}\,dx}}\)
    2. \( \displaystyle \int_{{ - 3}}^{4}{{\cos \left( x \right) - \frac{3}{{{x^5}}}\,dx}}\)
    3. \( \displaystyle \int_{1}^{4}{{\cos \left( x \right) - \frac{3}{{{x^5}}}\,dx}}\)
