Integration by substitution
Question?
\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}\sin(3-t)dt\]
u = 3-t and du = -1
im not sure how to move on from there :/
\[\int\limits_{}^{}\sin(u)du\]
cos(u) + c ?
du = -1 is incorrect. du = -dt Try that.
The negative seems to have vanished into the mist.
it is in there, you just can't see it :P
woops, -cos(u) + c
-cos(3-t) + c
hm i am doing something wrong with the negative. the real answer is cos(3-t) + c
oh just kidding haha integral of sin is -cos so it cancels out
got it, thanks !
This is all very confusing. Let's start from the top and get ALL the signs right. \(\int \sin(3-t)\;dt\) u = 3-t du = -dt \(\int -\sin(u)\;du = \cos(u) + C\) Finally, \(\cos(3-t) + C\) Better to get it right on purpose! :-)
Yeah, I forgot about the -dt and put -1 instead, also the integral of sin is -cos instead of cos. Thanks :)
