Question
Write the coefficient a, b, c of which the value of the integral $\int\limits^3_{-3}(\text{ax}^2+\text{bx}+\text{c})\text{dx}$ is independent.

Answer

$\int\limits^3_{-3}(\text{ax}^2+\text{bx}+\text{c})\text{dx}$
$=\Big[\text{a}\frac{\text{x}^3}{3}+\text{b}\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\text{cx}\Big]^3_{-3}$
$=9\text{a}+\frac{9}{2}\text{b}+3\text{c}+9\text{a}-\frac{9}{2}\text{b}+3\text{c}$
$=18\text{a}+6\text{c}$
Hence, the given integral is independent of b.
