Question

Find the definite integration of | (6-x)/(x^3) | dx from integral 1 to 7

Answer 1

\[\int\limits_{1}^{7}\frac{6-x}{x^3}dx\]
\[\int\limits_{1}^{7}-\frac{6-x}{x^3}dx\]

Answer 2

oh then after would you add them?

Answer 3

No, it's absolute value so you'll have two separate answers. You don't add them afterwards.

Answer 4

because the x values are positive, would it just be the first one. because it only has one space for one answer to input

Answer 5

ok, do u realize, the function (6-x)/(x^3) is positive from 1 to 6 and negative from 6 to 7 ?

Answer 6

so u have to split your integral from 1 to 6 and 6 to 7
\(\int_1^6 ....dx + \int_6^7 ...dx \)

Answer 7

ohhhh
gotcha
thanks i'll try it!

Answer 8

remember to put a -*minus* sign for 2nd integral.

Answer 9

I should have known it wasn't that easy
