Answer

$17$

Work Step by Step

Since $3$ is between $0$ and $5$ then by the Integral of the Function over Adjacent Intervals it follows that: $$\begin{align*} \int_{0}^{5}f(x)dx&=\int_{0}^{3}f(x)dx+\int_{3}^{5}f(x)dx\\ &=\int_{0}^{3}3dx+\int_{3}^{5}xdx\\ &=[3x]_{0}^{3}+[\frac{x^{2}}{2}]_{3}^{5}\\ &=(3\cdot 3-3\cdot 0)+\left[\frac{5^{2}}{2}-\frac{3^{2}}{2}\right]\\ &=9+8\\ &=17. \end{align*}$$
