Calculus help please!

Consider a continuous function f such that F (x) = f(x) for all real values of x. Find 7 2 f(5x)dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That didn't come out quite right. I'll retype it.

Consider a continuous function f such that F'(x)=f(x) find \[\int\limits_{2}^{7}f(5x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(7)-F(2)

I know its tough. I've been stuck on it for a while. Thanks for tagging those people!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And sorry @Abhishek619 thats not an answer choice. Thanks for trying though.

OpenStudy (loser66):

can you post the choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure. One sec.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Large \int\limits\limits_{2}^{7}f(5x)dx\]let u=5x, so du = 5 dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5F(7)-5(F(2) 1/5(F(7))-1/5(F(2)) 5F(35)-5F(10) 1/5(F(35))-1/5(F(10))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry. I'm wrong. F'(x)=f(x), F'(5x)=f(5x) \[\int\limits_{2}^{7}f(5x)dx=\int\limits_{2}^{7}dF(5x)\] Now, take 5x=t, =>dx=dt/5, the limits also become 10 and 35. the answer is (F(35)-F(10))/5

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Large \int\limits\limits\limits_{2}^{7}f(5x)dx \]let u=5x, so du = 5 dx\[\large \frac{ du }{ 5 } =dx\] Change the limits since u = 5x, so plug in x=2 and then x=7 to get u = 10 and u = 35 \[\Large \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\int\limits\limits_{10}^{35}f(u)du\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

\[\Large \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\int\limits\limits\limits_{10}^{35}f(u)du = \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\left[ F(u) \right]_{10}^{35}\]Then just plug in limits

Thanks @agent0smith and @Abhishek619

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes perfect sense, thank you!

At first, I was blind to see the 5x. :D
