Compute the indefinite integral of(x/2) + 3.

It equals [x^2/4] + 3x
Subtract the value of that function at x=2 from the value at x=4. That will be the area under the curve.

I got 7 but the answer in the book says 21

[x^2/4] + 3x at x= 4 is 16
[x^2/4] + 3x at x= 2 is 7
I get 9 for the answer.

Are you sure you copied the integrand correctly? Is it really (x/2) + 3 ?

I cannot explain the discrepancy
