I know I might have to make an assumption that the 'a' in my expression is greater than 0 but I don't know how to do so. So any suggestions?

Also, are all the integration functions equal or are some better than the other. For eg, for definite integrals, are PREVAL, INT, and using the equation editor methods all equal? or is one inherently better than the other?

Not sure if this is the only issue, but you must have a "*" between 'a' and 'x', implicit multiplication isn't allowed.

Must be a homework assignment somewhere, 2nd time in a week....
