Compute $\int_{t-2T}^T t-\tau\cdot 1 \;d\tau = [t\tau - \frac{\tau^2}{2}]_{t-2T}^{T}$

Question

Compute $\displaystyle\int\limits_{t-2T}^T t-\tau\cdot 1 \;d\tau$

\begin{align} \displaystyle&\int\limits_{t-2T}^T t-\tau\cdot 1 \;d\tau \\ &=\left[t\tau - \frac{\tau^2}{2}\right]_{t-2T}^{T}\\ &=tT-\frac{T^2}{2}-t(t-2T)-\frac12(t-2T)^2\\ &=tT-\frac{T^2}{2}-t^2+2tT-\frac 12(t^2-4tT+4T^2)\\ &=tT-\frac{T^2}{2}-t^2+2tT-\frac 1 2t^2+2Tt-2T^2\\ &=\frac{-3T^2}{2}+5tT-\frac{5tT^2}{2} \end{align}

Is this correct?

Answer 1

We have $$[t\tau-\tau^2/2]_{t-2T}^{T}=tT-\frac{T^2}{2}-\left(t(t-2T)-\frac{(t-2T)^2}{2}\right)$$ and this is $$tT-\frac{T^2}{2}-t^2+2tT+\frac{1}{2}t^2-2tT+2T^2$$
