someone know how to do this integral?

OpenStudy (mony01):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{9}\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt[3]{x-1} }dx\]

hartnn (hartnn):

did you try using a u substution, u = x-1 ?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

^^ that will do it

OpenStudy (mony01):

would then be \[\int\limits_{0}^{9}\frac{ 1 }{\sqrt[3]{u}}du\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yep then change it to u^(-1/3)

hartnn (hartnn):

don't forget to change the limits when x= 0, u =... when x = 9, u =... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u ^{-\frac{ 4 }{3 }}\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

@felavin, that is derivative ... for integrating you add 1 to exponent

OpenStudy (mony01):

when x=0 u=1 and when x=9 does u=8^-1/3

hartnn (hartnn):

u = x-1 when x = 0 u = 0-1 = -1 when x =9 u = 9-1 =8

OpenStudy (mony01):

does it become \[\int\limits_{-1}^{8}\frac{ 3 }{ 2}u ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3}}du\]

hartnn (hartnn):

since you have already done the integration of u^(-1/2) , no need to put integral sign again \(\large [\frac{ 3 }{ 2}u ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3}}]^8_{-1}\) plug in the limits

hartnn (hartnn):

of u^(-1/3) ****

OpenStudy (mony01):

for my answer i get 61/2 is that the answer?

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes, how u get that ?

OpenStudy (mony01):

is it 67/2?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large [\frac{ 3 }{ 2}u ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3}}]^8_{-1} \\ \large =\large [\frac{ 3 }{ 2}8 ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3}}] - \large [\frac{ 3 }{ 2}(-1) ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3}}] \\ \large = \dfrac{3}{2}[4-1] =...\)

@hartnn 's work looks correct
