Can someone explain what I have to do in this problem? (PROBLEM ATTACHED AS PICTURE IN REPLY)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I set V = F'', DV = x? Get du = F' dx, v = x^(2) / 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use uv formula. i.e. integral of product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, is what I did correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_by_parts follow this link.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd do u=x, du=dx, dv=f''dx, v=f'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Integration by parts: \[\large \int udv = uv - \int vdu\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I have right now: XF' - int(F'dx)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 18 minutes left to do it =(. How do you take the integral of F'dx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The integral of f' is f. Antiderivative of a derivative is the function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so I have: XF' - F now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good, now evaluate between your limits.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are given the values, so just plug them in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that's going from 1 to 0. [(1)(6) - 3) ] - [ (0)(whatever = becomes 0) - 5] = [6 - 3] - 5 = -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you forgot to distribute that minus sign to the -5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, you are right! I got it, it becomes 3 + 5 = 8. Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome.
