OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont quite understand how to evaluate this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh and the upper bound is 3 it kinda got cut off

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Ok... not sure how to best explain this one but the integral is the value between the function and the x-axis. The function has a max of 5 on the interval of 1 to 3 and a minimum of -2 on the interval. Since we're asked to find all the possible values of F on the interval we want to look at the extreme cases.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :) I understand that I just dont get how to go about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thank you for helping :)

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Case I. The function is nearly equal to 5 for most of the time and only close to -2 for an extremely small time. In this case we could get an approximation by multiplying 5 by the Upper bound minus the Lower bound.

OpenStudy (jziggy):

So 5(3-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 10

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (jziggy):

And then we can get Case 2 in a similar way.

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Case 2 The function is nearly equal to -2 for most of the time and only close to 5 for an extremely small time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so im assuming the possible values are less than 10

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Yes all possible values must be less than 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2(3-1) is -2*2 which is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its choice A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4<F<10

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Yes :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool wana help with another?

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Sure, what've you got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just some solving integrals by substitution

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Alright :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 10 more including this one to do before I take my final and I have to be done by 10pm :/ so yeah

OpenStudy (jziggy):

Alright, so obviously we need to use a u-substitution on this problem. u = x^2 du = (2x)dx du/2 = (x)dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (jziggy):

So our new integral is|dw:1387585763984:dw|
