Answer

$$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}{2 x+3} & {\text { if } x \leq 0} \\ {-\frac{x}{4}-3} & {\text { if } x>0}\end{array}\right. $$ To find $\int_{-1}^{4}f(x) d x $ by using Exercise 49 and the Fundamental Theorem as follows: $$ \begin{aligned} \int_{-1}^{4} f(x) d x&=\int_{-1}^{0}(2 x+3)d x+ \int_{0}^{4}\left(-\frac{x}{4}-3\right) d x\\ &=-12. \end{aligned} $$
