Anyone know how to do this?
\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}\frac{ \sin \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{x} }\]
Why does it have question marks on top and bottom of the integral...
oh im not sure theres no numbers in the integral it is just suppose to be the integral by itself
\[\int\limits \frac{ \sin \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{x} }\]
let u = \(\sqrt x\)
du=1/2x^-1/2 but how would I substitute this into the integral?
\[\mathrm d u=\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\mathrm d x=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\mathrm d x\]
just substitute , \(\int -1/2 sin u du\)
you can pull the 1/2 (constant) out in front of the integral
As for the lack of upper and lower limits of integration, it just means you need a general antiderivative (we aren't sure of the constants), so the typical convention is to add +C after you integrate
where C is any constant
would the answer be \[-\cos \sqrt{x}+C\]
\[\frac{-1}{2}\int\limits \sin{u}\mathrm d u\] I believe you forgot about the -1/2
er was it positive 1/2
Yeah it's positive; my mistake. Otherwise it's correct, so you should have\[-\frac{1}{2}\cos{\sqrt{x}}+C\]
wait, i may have made another mistake -_-
found it.\[\mathrm d u=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\mathrm d x\] \[2\mathrm d u=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\mathrm d x\] Sorry, sloppy maths from me tonight ;) It's a 2 we took in front, not a half.
so its \[2\cos \sqrt{x}+C\]
\[-2\cos{\sqrt{x}}+C\] since the antiderivative of sin(u) is -cos(u)
thank you so much!!! it was correct!!!
My pleasure. Sorry about all the mistakes, hope I didn't confuse you ;)
