So I'm gearing up to take a calculus 1 exam, and this question is on the sample test. My initial thought was that since we are looking for F(9), and F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), I can just use the integral of the equation of f(x) at 9, which is f(x) = -2x/3 + 5, which, when integrated, becomes -x^2/3 + 5x + 2 (C = 2 because F(0) = 2). Thing is, though, that won't give me any of the answers listed. And even after taking the integral of all of the equations of f(x), I still have no idea how to produce any of the answers in the multiple choice.

I'm super stumped on this one. Any help would be welcome!

Oh, that makes sense. Thank you! I'll give it a shot.
