If f(t)=8sec^2t-7t^2, find the antiderivative F(t). Then, if F(0)=0, find what F(1.2) would equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for my antiderivative I got, \[8\tan(t)-\frac{ 7 }{ 3 }t^3+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but for some reason I'm not getting the right answer for F(1.2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found that since F(0)=0, then that must mean C=0. And then I pluged in 1.2 for the t's in the antiderivative and got -4.032 but the webwork says my answer's wrong, so I'm confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you still there Mark?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah seems you did good but in you calculator did you set up in radian mode

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get -15.45 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I did. So I'm not sure what the issue is. No, I didn't get that. I got -4. something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I typed your answer in and it said it's wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry its 15.45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that worked. Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok yw, have fun :D
