not even close. See that 4th power? Those numbers get big!
So, what did you do?
Answered by Ryan
I took the integral of both and subtracted the x(6) from x(4), i redid it and got 50.5 is that it
Answered by oobleck
No Way. Do you know what 6 to the 5th power is? It's 7776.
Why are you reluctant to show your work?

I don't think you have caught on to the idea of an integral yet...
