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!
