OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try u = pi/x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got that and then du= (-2pi/(x^3))dx

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then do i integrate a=1 and b=3pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

into u and du?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh hey sourwing

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do the indefinite integral first, then plugin the given point to find the constant C maybe...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's now (pi/-x)*(2pi/-2x^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it ((pi-pix)/x^2)+C

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\cos(\pi/x^2)}{x^3}\) \(\large \implies\) \(\large y = \int \dfrac{\cos(\pi/x^2)}{x^3}dx\) sub \(u = \pi/x^2 \implies du = -2\pi/x^3 dx \implies \dfrac{1}{x^3}dx = \dfrac{-du} {2\pi}\) the integral becomes : \(\large y = \int \cos(u) \frac{-du}{2\pi}\) \(\large y = \frac{-1}{2\pi}\int \cos(u)du\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

evaluate..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-sin(pi/x^2)/2pi)+C

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! \(\large y = -\dfrac{\sin (\pi/x^2)}{2\pi} + C\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plugin the given point, and find out the constant \(C\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k now plug n chug, i got it from here. thanks
