integration question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I attached a pdf file for a solutions manual. On page 18 question number 21. I don't see why it goes from \[-2t(5 - t)^{1/2} + 2 \int\limits_{?}^{?} (5 - t)^{1/2}dt \] TO \[-2t(5-t)^{1/2} - 4/3(5-t)^{3/2} + c\] I understand the anti derivative of \[2(5-t)^{1/2} = 4/3(5-t)^{3/2}\] But what i don't understand is why the 4/3 turned negative when the 2 was positive. Anyone know the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think youre not taking into account the -t when integrating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it have to do with chain rule or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chain rule is only for differentiation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want to use the substitution rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u= the (5-t) im assuming?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

chain rule. inside piece is \(5-t\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yupper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't even think about using substitution along with integration by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i know to do that when if i were taking the derivative there would be a chain rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah if you were taking derivative it would be chain. substitution rule is basically in analogous technique in integration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a bunch. Hope im ready for my final now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good luck!
