Question
The image shows a definite integral from 0 to 1 of the polynomial function \(5x^9 - 15x^4 + 20\) with respect to \(x\). 

Mathematically, this is represented as:

\[
\int_{0}^{1} (5x^9 - 15x^4 + 20) \, dx
\]

This integral calculates the area under the curve of the function from \(x = 0\) to \(x = 1\).

To solve this integral, you need to find the antiderivative of the polynomial function and then evaluate it from 0 to 1:

1. **Antiderivative Calculation:**
   - The antiderivative of \(5x^9\) is \(\frac{5}{10}x^{10} = \frac{1}{2}x^{10}\).
   - The antiderivative of \(-15x^4\) is \(-\frac{15}{5}x^5 = -3x^5\).
   - The antiderivative of \(20\) is \(20x\).

2. **Evaluate from 0 to 1:**

After finding the antiderivative, substitute the upper limit of 1 and the lower limit of 0, subtracting the latter from the former:

\[
\left[\frac{1}{2}x^{10} - 3x^5 + 20x\right]_{0}^{1}
\]

This will provide the definite integral, giving the exact area under the curve from 0 to 1.
