determine the srea of the region bounded by f(x)=8x^2+4 and the x-axis is between 2 and 3
just integrate f(x) from 2 to 3
can you show me step by step, im really confused
as far as im reading it right .... do you know what integration is?
is it the anti derivative
correct so, whatis the antiD of 8x^2? and what it is it of 4?
(8/3)x^3?
good, and the one for the 4?
4x
the usual notation for integration is; \[\int_{a}^{b}f(x)~dx=F(b)-F(a)\] you just found the F(x) parts soo \[\int_{2}^{3}8x^2+4~dx=(\frac83(3)^3+4(3))-(\frac83(2)^3+4(2))\]
so the answer is 164/3
thats what i get
now one more question
determine the region bounded by f(x)=\[4/\sqrt[2]{x}\] and the x axis between 16 and 25
turn it into a power and follow the same rules you did for this one
the anti derivitve of 4 will be 4x^2
\[\frac{4}{\sqrt x}\] \[\frac{4}{x^{1/2}}\] \[f(x)=4x^{-1/2}\]
ohh quotient rule?
no, its just the reverse of the power rule, just like you did for that 8x^2
add 1 and divide
ooo
\[\int kx^n=\frac {kx^{n+1}}{n+1} \] or recall\[\frac d{dx}(kx^n)=kn~x^{n-1}\] \[\int kn~x^{n-1}=\frac {kn~x^{n-1+1}}{n-1+1} =\frac {k\cancel{n}~x^{n}}{\cancel{n}}=kx^n\]
answer =8
8sqrt(25)-8sqrt(16) 8(5-4) ; i agree, its 8 :)
