  1. 322
  2. 319
  3. 320
  4. 321
See the answer & why

320

An antiderivative is × x3. Evaluate at 4 and 0: 15 × 43/3 = 320.

A little hint: Reverse the power rule, then subtract the lower-bound value from the upper-bound value.

A teaching tip

Find an antiderivative first, then apply the upper and lower bounds.
