For Velocity and Net change... Anyone understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zachdykstra plz tell the question:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the displacement over the given interval v(t) = t^3 - 5t^2 + 6t with the given area of [0 \le t \le 2pie]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

displacement is the integration of velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain in simpler terms??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the thing that you are looking to find is the area under the function from 0 to 2pi

OpenStudy (amistre64):

... antiderivative perhaps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

velocity is simply the rate at which distance changes with time so displacement is integration of velocity equation and integeration simply means area under curve :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do you guys usually just use desmos or CAD calculators to calculate it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

pencil and paper .. no eraser

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int x^n=\frac 1{n+1} x^{n+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I understand quite simply the antiderivative and substitution and all of the equations but the graphing and finding the area of is what is kicking my butt

OpenStudy (amistre64):

theres no need to graph it if you understand how to take an antiderivative/ integral

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int_{a}^{b}f(x)~dx=F(b)-F(a)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if it tells me to find the displacement of t^3 - 5t^2 + 6t with the given interval [0 less than or equal to T which is less than or equal to 2pi]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 good going :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a = 0, b = 2pi, f(x) = f(t) = t^3 - 5t^2 + 6t \[\int_{0}^{2\pi}~t^3 - 5t^2 + 6t~dt\] you do know how to integrate a power right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

thnx :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i understand all of that you just wrote im just lost after that in finding the answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ok, what do we get for the integration? lets see if you have that done correctly then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I take the anti-derivative or derivative from that?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

take the "antiderivative" that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so it becomes n+1/n+1 or whatever but i have no idea how to type that all special

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just type it in the best you can, im smart enough to be able to see what it is you might be trying to accomplish :) the antiderivative of: \(t^3 - 5t^2 + 6t\) is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

t^4/4 - 5t^3/3 + 3t^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

perfect.. now to find out the rest, we need to subtract that from itself (t^4/4 - 5t^3/3 + 3t^2) - (t^4/4 - 5t^3/3 + 3t^2) and evaluate it at t = 2pi on the left, and t=0 on the right ((2pi)^4/4 - 5(2pi)^3/3 + 3(2pi)^2) - (0^4/4 - 5(0)^3/3 + 3(0)^2) 16pi^4/4 - 40pi^3/3 + 6pi^2 - 0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

simplify as desired
