Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & f\left( x \right)={{x}^{3}}-5{{x}^{2}}+30,\text{ on the interval }0\le x\le 4 \\ & \text{The average value is given by} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_{a}^{b}{f\left( x \right)dx} \\ & \text{Therefore,} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{4-0}\int_{0}^{4}{\left( {{x}^{3}}-5{{x}^{2}}+30 \right)dx} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{4}\int_{0}^{4}{\left( {{x}^{3}}-5{{x}^{2}}+30 \right)dx} \\ & \text{Integrating} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{4}\left[ \frac{1}{4}{{x}^{4}}-\frac{5}{3}{{x}^{3}}+30x \right]_{0}^{4} \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{1}{4}\left[ \frac{1}{4}{{\left( 4 \right)}^{4}}-\frac{5}{3}{{\left( 4 \right)}^{3}}+30\left( 4 \right) \right]-\frac{1}{4}\left[ 0 \right] \\ & {{f}_{avg}}=\frac{58}{3} \\ \end{align}\]
