Anyone know how to do this?

OpenStudy (mony01):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\sqrt[3]{1+7x}dx\]

hartnn (hartnn):

did you try to put u = 1+7x ?

OpenStudy (mony01):

yea i try to do it but my answer was wrong, I think I did something wrong

hartnn (hartnn):

can you show me your attempt ? u = 1+7x should lead you to correct answer.

hartnn (hartnn):

i'll help you find the error

hartnn (hartnn):

post one step at a time, so that i can stop you when i get the error

OpenStudy (mony01):

du=7dx dx=1/7du \[\int\limits_{0}^{1}u ^{2/3}dx\]\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}(1+7x)^{2/3}(\frac{ 1 }{ 7}du)\]\[\frac{ 1 }{ 7}(\frac{ 1+7x ^{5/3} }{ 5/3 })\]\[\frac{ 3 }{ 35 }(1+7x)^{5/3}\]plug in 1 and 0 for x\[\frac{ 3 }{35 }(1+7)^{5/3}-0\]\[\frac{ 3 }{ 35 }(8)^{5/3}-0=\frac{ 96 }{ 35 }\]

hartnn (hartnn):

cube root of x is just x^1/3 not x^2.3

hartnn (hartnn):

not x^2/3

OpenStudy (mony01):

was that the only mistake i did?

hartnn (hartnn):

you made the substitution but did not change the limits

OpenStudy (mony01):

what do you mean?

hartnn (hartnn):

i mean when you put u= 1+7x the limits which were for x, now needs to be for u when x= 0 u = 1 when x = 1 u = 8 so your new limits should ne 1 to 8

OpenStudy (mony01):

oh so i plug 1 and 8 into 1/7(1+7x)^(4/3)/4/3

hartnn (hartnn):

if you are using the variable 'x' then use the limits for 'x' put 0 and 1 in 1/7(1+7x)^(4/3)/4/3 if you are using 'u' put limits for 'u' put 1 and 8 in 1/7(u)^(4/3)/4/3

hartnn (hartnn):

either way, you get the same answer

OpenStudy (mony01):

for the answer is it 12/7

hartnn (hartnn):

how did u get 12 ?

OpenStudy (mony01):

would it be 3/28(8)^4/3-0

hartnn (hartnn):

1st term is correct! but how -0 ?

OpenStudy (mony01):

because when plugging in 0 for x is all 0

hartnn (hartnn):

when u plug in x=0 here 1/7(1+7x)^(4/3)/4/3 you get 3/28 only

OpenStudy (mony01):

oh so its 3/28(8)^4/3-3/28

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

OpenStudy (mony01):

is this correct 8^4/3 = 16

hartnn (hartnn):

yes!

OpenStudy (mony01):

so the overall answer is 45/28

hartnn (hartnn):

absolutely correct! :)

OpenStudy (mony01):

thank you it was correct!!!

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
