How do integrate this definite integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it not ln(12.77-012T) ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-ln(12.77-0.12t) under the limits 60 and 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it should be the negative of that i think

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

huh? isnt that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(u=12.77-.12t, du =-dt\) might as well change the limits of integration now if you like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes what @pavaneinstine wrote is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would du not be 0.12??

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

lol..you were referring to ironictoaster's answer =))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.12 dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doh second dumb mistake i made so far today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahaha, I am so confused lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(u=12.77-.12t, du =-.12dt,-\frac{25}{3}du=dt\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now it is a numerical exercise from here on in you good from here or still confused?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the solution from teacher just there, it's a little bit different :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need a calculator for this for sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check that out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is about 6.09

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that looks right ugly, but right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 I don't know he got the 0.12 in the denominator. All I did was let u= 12.77-0.12T du = 0.12 dT int 1/u du =ln u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok two mistakes the derivative of \(12.77-.12t\) is \(-.12\) not \(.12\) that is why there is a minus sign out front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get \(du=-.12dt\) but you want \(dt\) so you have to write \(-\frac{du}{.12}=dt\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is where there is a \(.12\) in the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh dividing across. doh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup
