How to get a solution in terms of a constant when integrating?

1 view (last 30 days)
I would like to integrate a function, the purpose of this is to find a constant inside the function so I don´t know the value of the constant I´m looking for. It is a very simple integration. I would like the result to be in terms of the constant.
This is the integration.
And I would like to have this result in Matlab.
I am a beginner so I don´t know if it´s posible.
This is my code
F = @(x,a) c*x^2 + x;
q = integral (@(x) F,0,1)

This is something that you are not going to be able to do with integral(). integral() is strictly for numeric integration.
You would need to use the Symbolic Toolbox
syms c y
F = c*y^2 + y;
int(F, y, 0, 1)
ans =
