Need help with Calc1 - Integrals
F(x)=\[\int\limits_{\cos x}^{5x} \cos(u^{2})du\]
Find derivative I got cos(5x)^2 *5+-cos(cosx)^2*-sinx
You need to use the fundamental theorem of calculus here: \[F'(x)=5\cos(25x^2)-\cos(\cos^2x)(-\sin x)=5\cos(25x^2)+\sin(x)\cos(\cos^2x).\]
You can derive a general formula given by: \[{d \over dx}\int\limits_{g(x)}^{h(x)}f(x)dx=f(h(x))h'(x)-f(g(x))g'(x).\]
our answers are the same
That's good.
:) thanks then I'll ask another maybe u'll get to use ur brain a little more
Lol! Ask away!!
Evaluate the Integral : \[\int\limits_{-1}^{2}x-2|x|dx\]
No idea what to do with the |x|
I'm sure you know how to do the first term, so I'll focus on the integration of |x| from -1 to 2. To integrate the absolute value of x you need to redefine the function. You know that \(|x|=-x \text{ for } x<0\), so we can write the integral as: \[\int\limits_{-1}^{2}|x|dx=\int\limits_{-1}^{0}-xdx+\int\limits_0^2xdx\]
true
Evaluate it and then multiply it by the constant \(-2\) and add to it the value you get from integrating the first term.
Makes sense?
lemme try
sure.
\[(1/2)x^{2}-3\] then i plug in each and do F(b)-F(a) right?
I didn't solve it actually, but you can always check your answers using wolfarmalpha :D
I don't know where the -3 came from though.
integrate x ---> (1/2)x^2 then i pluged in the numbers and added them together
If you plugged in the numbers, why do I still see x in there?
thats the first term the -3 is the -2|x| part
Oh I see. You're right then, you just need to plug -1 to 2 in 1/2 x^2.
Are you sure about the -3? It should be -5.
lemme check ur prob right
ehhh im getting (3/2) * -2 = -6/2 = -3
\[\int\limits_{-1}^{2}\left| x \right|dx=\int\limits_{-1}^0-xdx+\int\limits_0^2xdx={-x^2 \over 2}|_{-1}^0+{x^2 \over 2}|_0^2=(0-{-1 \over 2})+({4 \over 2}-0)={5 \over 2}\]
\(\large =\frac{5}{2}\)
my bad forgot to do the 0 minus on the negative one!
I thought so!
My appologies so now its easy \[x^{2}/2-5 \] [-1, 2] ---> 4/2=2-5=-3 ( 1/2)-5 = -9/2 so -3-(-9/2) = 3/2
Wait! Not like this. Do first \(\frac{x^2}{2}|_{-1}^2=\frac{4}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\). So the final value of our integral is \(\frac{3}{2}-5=-\frac{7}{2}.\)
I gotta go now!
sorry for being difficult thanks!
no problem! glad to help :D
