I feel like the answer might be around 5 or 8, but I can’t recall the exact calculations we did in class.

I’m a bit confused about whether I need to subtract anything since the function is above the x-axis in this range.

I think we did a similar problem where we had to integrate a cubic function. I hope I can remember the limits correctly!

I remember we practiced finding areas under curves, but I’m not sure if I should use definite integrals for this one.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. I need to integrate the function, then evaluate the integral between the given limits to find the total area. I've got this!

Wait, what? I thought we were supposed to find the area under the curve, not just integrate it. I'm a bit confused on the exact question here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Integrating polynomials can be tricky, and I want to make sure I set up the problem correctly.

Okay, this looks like a straightforward integral problem. I'll need to integrate the function f(x) = 2x^3 between the limits x = 1.5 and x = 2.

No problem, I've got this! I'll just use the power rule to integrate 2x^3 and then plug in the limits. Should be a piece of cake.
