\n\t\t \t\tAdded tags.
\n\t\t \t\tAdded description.
\n\t\t \t\tAdded decimal point to forbidden strings along with message to user re input of numbers.
\n\t\t \t\tAdded a Step and message about Show steps included - losing 1 mark if used as it gives the formula for finding the integral. Increased marks to 3 for the question, so that can cope with losing a mark for using Show steps.
\n\t\t \t\tChanged accuracy setting to relative difference of 0.00001 as we have negative powers.
\n\t\t \t\tChecked calculation. OK.
\n\t\t \t\tAdded message in prompt about including the constant of integration.
\n\t\t \t\tNoted issue with steps-answer order and the messages/marks generated.
\n\t\t \t\tChanged numerator to the range 2..5.
\n\t\t \t\tImproved display in Advice.
