$\int_{-1}^{1} x^2dx+\int_{-1}^{1}-1dx$
Learn how to solve integrals of polynomial functions problems step by step online. Integrate the function x^2-1 from -1 to 1. Expand the integral \int_{-1}^{1}\left(x^2-1\right)dx into 2 integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately. The integral \int_{-1}^{1} x^2dx results in: \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}. Gather the results of all integrals. Combine fractions with common denominator 3.
