i have no idea how to do this at all -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int_a^b f(x)dx=\int_a^cf(x)dx+\int_c^b f(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would like to have \[\int_0^3f(x)dx=\int_0^1f(x)dx+\int_1^3f(x)dx\] but you donot have the first one \[\int_0^1f(x)dx\] but rather you have \[\int_{-1}^1f(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the other hand from the picture you can see that \[\int_{-1}^1f(x)dx=2\int_0^1f(x)dx\] and so \[\int_0^1f(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^1f(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry last line should have been \[\int_0^1f(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^1f(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the answers asking for 0 to 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right \[\int_0^3f(x)dx=\int_0^1f(x)dx+\int_1^3f(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^1f(x)dx+\int_1^3f(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was the gimmick to recognize that the part you want \(\int_0^1f(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-1}^1f(x)dx\) so you could use that instead

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since they called \(\int_{-1}^1f(x)dx=A\) and \(\int_1^3f(x)dx=B\) your want to write \[\int_0^3f(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}A+B\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u ima run thru it and make sure i get it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i think i wrote it all out
