Please help, evaluate the integral: question will be posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{ dt }{ t \sqrt{t} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help using the fundamental theorem of calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember that \[ \sqrt{t} = t^{1/2} \]And: \[ t\cdot t^{1/2} = t^{3/2} \]AND: \[ \int x^ndx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C \]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

\[t* \sqrt{t} = t^1 * t^{1/2} = t^{3/2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also \[ \large \frac{dt}{t^{n}} = t^{-n}dt \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it can be rewritten as \[\int\limits_{1}^{4} t ^{3/2}dt\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Fundamental Theorem (Part II) just says: \[ F'(t) = f(t) \implies \int_a^b f(t)dt = F(b) - F(a) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Brittni0605 Should be: \[ \int\limits_1^4 t^{-3/2}dt \]Remember it was initially in the denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so then I find the antiderivative and evaluate at the bounds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I got an answer of 1. Is that correct?
