Evaluate the integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My answer was marked incorrect but I'm not sure what i did wrong ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

What method did you used?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First thing I see of the bad is the variable? Should it have been t?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u substitution!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh myy! I think that may be the reason why its incorrect?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes, u-sub for the \(\sf \color{}{x^2+5}\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Err, i mean \(t\)*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, ok but first things first does any one know if my answer is completely wrong or may it just be that i put the incorrect variable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's just the variable at first glance

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Try sticking with the same variable. Your answer does look right tho..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You guys were right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Didn't even notice -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ONE MORE THING! if its possible can you guys help explain what i did wrong in this problem:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I worked it out a couple times and i kept getting the same answer as the one i typed but its incorrect apparently.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(\sf \color{}{cos(\frac{\pi}{3})}\) is your problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How so? :/

OpenStudy (yttrium):

should be negative cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes well as my integral i got -19cosx+x

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\[\int\limits dy = 19\int\limits \sin(t)+1~dt \Rightarrow ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i plugged in pi/3 & set whole equation equal to 1/2

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes, so you get 19\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! @abb0t i got that

OpenStudy (abb0t):

But you still have to solve for C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did and thats how i arrived to my answer -pi/3+10?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(\frac{1}{2}\)=\(\frac{19}{2}\)+\(\frac{\pi}{3}\)+C

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Ooops. Isn't it that the answer here should be and equation as well?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure @Yttrium :/ @abb0t thats what i had written down!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well wait shouldn't it be -19/2?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(-\frac{19}{2}\)* sorry

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Yeah it should be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes yes thought so :) @abb0t

OpenStudy (abb0t):

So, it should be \(\sf \color{}{\frac{30- \pi}{3}}\)=C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hm did you just make it so it has a common denominator?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes. Now plug in your C into the final equation, and thats your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my final answer would be \[-19cosx+x+\frac{ 30-\pi }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??? @abb0t

OpenStudy (zarkon):

t

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes, in terms of t.
