Answer

$$-\frac{35}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

Since $$\int_{1}^{b} f(x) d x =1-b^{-1} $$ Then \begin{align*} \int_{1}^{6}(3 f(x)-4) d x&=3 \int_{1}^{6} f(x)-\int_{1}^{6} 4 d x\\ &=3\left(1-6^{-1}\right)-4(6-1)\\ &=3\left(1-\frac{1}{6}\right)-4(5)\\ &=3\left(\frac{5}{6}\right)-20\\ &=\frac{5}{2}-20\\ &=-\frac{35}{2} \end{align*}
