Explanation:

Integrate each term using the #color(blue)"power rule for integration"#

#color(orange)"Reminder " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(intax^ndx=a/(n+1)x^(n+1))color(white)(2/2)|)))#

#rArrint_-3^1(2x+2)dx=[x^2+2x]_-3^1#

Now, subtract the evaluation of the lower limit from the evaluation of the upper limit.

#rArr(1+2)-(9-6)=3-3=0#
