1. The problem is to evaluate the definite integral $\int_2^2 3x \, dx$.
2. The formula for the definite integral of a function $f(x)$ from $a$ to $b$ is:
$$\int_a^b f(x) \, dx = F(b) - F(a)$$
where $F(x)$ is the antiderivative of $f(x)$.
3. Here, $f(x) = 3x$. The antiderivative of $3x$ is:
$$F(x) = \frac{3x^2}{2}$$
4. Now, evaluate $F(x)$ at the upper and lower limits:
$$F(2) = \frac{3 \times 2^2}{2} = \frac{3 \times 4}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6$$
$$F(2) = 6$$
5. The definite integral is:
$$\int_2^2 3x \, dx = F(2) - F(2) = 6 - 6 = 0$$
6. Since the limits of integration are the same, the integral evaluates to zero.
**Final answer:**
$$\int_2^2 3x \, dx = 0$$
