How to use this lab (7 steps)
  1. A real textbook question. Evaluate ∫(3x + 3ˣ + x³) dx. The storyboard begins by reading the expression and naming its three terms.
  2. Inspect a term. Every term keeps its colour. Tapping 3ˣ explains why it needs the exponential rule, not the power rule.
  3. Watch the transformation. Step 2: the sum rule gives each term its own integral sign and dx. The animation moves one term at a time.
  4. Move the constant. Step 3: the 3 in 3x moves outside the integral. The 3 in 3ˣ is a base, so it stays put.
  5. Apply the rules. Step 4: the powers gain one and 3ˣ is divided by ln 3. Why each rule works is explained beside the working.
  6. Simplify. Step 5 tidies the coefficients into the final answer.
  7. Check by differentiating. Step 6 differentiates the answer to get back the integrand. The solution is checked, not just stated.
