Integral Calculus - Definite Integrals

The document provides solutions to evaluating definite integrals of various functions. It defines definite integrals and evaluates integrals of functions such as 6x^2, sin(x), 4x - x^2, and 4e^2x from given lower and upper bounds. It also provides further practice problems to evaluate definite integrals of additional functions.
