Answer

$\displaystyle \int_{-4}^{0} [2x + 8]\ dx$

Work Step by Step

We have to find where the function intersects the x-axis, that is, when $f_{(x)} = 0$ $f_{(x)} = 0 \longrightarrow 2x + 8 = 0 \longrightarrow 2x = -8 \longrightarrow x = -4$ And from the graph we can observe that the other limit is $x = 0$ Therefore the limits of integration are $x = -4$ (lower limit) and $x=0$ (upper limit) Thus, we have $\displaystyle \int_{-4}^{0} f_{(x)}\ dx = \displaystyle \int_{-4}^{0} [2x + 8]\ dx$
