this is really confusing questions. I know i have to use subsutition rules to solve.. but how?

@amistre64

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\int \limits_0^{0.5}f(2t) dt= \int \limits_0^{0.5}f(2u) du \\put \quad 2u=t, \\ =(1/2)\int \limits_0^1f(t)dt\) which step u have doubt with ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got it. So the (1.2) is the answer? once i got it, i will try next question bymyself!

hartnn (hartnn):

1.2 ? how ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 1/2 S f(t) dt

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah and you know the value of integral f(t) dt , right ?

hartnn (hartnn):

its 15, right ? so, A is 15/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 12... How did you get 15??

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\int \limits_0^{0.5}f(2t) dt= \int \limits_0^{0.5}f(2u) du \\put \quad 2u=t, \\ =(1/2)\int \limits_0^1f(t)dt=(1/2)\times 15= 15/2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how come you got 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15*1/2?

hartnn (hartnn):

why do you keep on asking how i got 15 ? isn't 15 the value of the original integral and iven in the question ?

hartnn (hartnn):

*given

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\ \int \limits_0^1f(t)dt=15\) given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHH sorry. i got it!

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, no problem....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the second one., i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}f(1-4t)dt=\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(4u)du?\]

hartnn (hartnn):

you can put 1-4u =t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(1-4t)dt?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

thats your Q. first you can change the variable, like i did in part A \(\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(1-4t)dt =\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(1-4u)du\) now put 1-4u =t dt=... ?

hartnn (hartnn):

or du= ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dt=4dx?

hartnn (hartnn):

dt = 4du or -4du ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4du!

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, now change the limits also, can you ?

hartnn (hartnn):

and also put du =(-1/4) dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you limit? you mean i have to set the equation?

hartnn (hartnn):

find the upper and lower limits when u = 0, t =... ? when u = 0.25, t= ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t=1 t=0?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes.

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(1-4t)dt =\int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(1-4u)du= \int \limits_1^0f(t)(-1/4)dt\) got this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far yes

hartnn (hartnn):

now, you can use, \(\int \limits_a^bf(x)dx=-\int \limits_b^af(x)dx\)

hartnn (hartnn):

so, \(\large \int\limits_{0}^{0.25}(1-4t)dt=\int \limits_1^0f(t)(-1/4)dt=\int \limits_0^1f(t)(1/4)dt\) ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the next step is... 1/4 *15?

hartnn (hartnn):

good!

hartnn (hartnn):

now can you try part C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will ! i will write my equation first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I entered B as 4/15, and tells me that it was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No sorry it was right...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for C is it 15*1/10? I just guessed

hartnn (hartnn):

4-10 u = t dt = -10 du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see!

hartnn (hartnn):

so, yes its 15/10 or 3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much for being helpful!

hartnn (hartnn):

hey, you are always welcome ^_^
