Answer

$F(4)=24$

Work Step by Step

Suppose that $F$ is an antiderivative of $f$ so: $$F'(x)=f(x)$$ Using the $FTC$ the following is true: $$\int_{1}^{4}f(x)dx=F(4)-F(1)$$ $$\int_{1}^{4}F'(x)dx=F(4)-F(1)$$ $$\int_{1}^{4}x^{2}dx=F(4)-F(1)$$ $$[\frac{x^{3}}{3}]_{1}^{4}=F(4)-F(1)$$ $$\frac{4^{3}}{3}-\frac{1^{3}}{3}=F(4)-F(1)$$ $$21=F(4)-F(1)$$ $$21=F(4)-3$$ $$21+3=F(4)$$ $$24=F(4)$$
