Definite integration yields a strange answer. (Solved)
I've run into an interesting output when I attempt to do perform a definite integration.

   

This doesn't seem to be correct. This is correct, but is not in a form that is applicable to what I am trying to do. I want the real-valued answer See here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int...9&a=^_Real
I also tried this in the home screen, thinking that this was just an unexpected behavio of the CAS.

   

No dice. Here are my CAS settings for anyone curious.

   

When I perform this on other calculators, it returns the correct (real-valued) answer of -27/20. Does anyone know why the Prime is returning this?

Edit----

Here is my version information:

   

It is also noteworthy that this is after resetting the calculator (with the button in the back) to ensure that the settings were defaulted and all variables cleared.
