Check .... starting on definite integrals

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I keep getting disconnected

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \int\limits_{1}^{5} x^5+2x-1 }\] I find each term separately, \[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \frac{x^5}{5}+x^2-x+C }\] Now from 5 to 1. \[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \frac{(5)^5}{5}+(5)^2-(5)+C ~~~⇒~~~645+C }\]\[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \frac{(1)^5}{5}+(1)^2-(1)+C ~~~⇒~~~ \frac{1}{5}+C }\] ANSWER: \(\LARGE\color{black}{ 644\frac{1}{5} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean 644 4/5

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

One more. Please message if I am wrong.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I forgot dx for the last one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Don't reply please, not yet

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

i think the first step\[\int\limits_{}^{}x^5=\frac{ x^6 }{ 6 }+c\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

My bad, I made such a horrible errror

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah silly mistake :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

625 × 5 = 3125 3125 +20 - 5 3140 and subtracting the sum, (3140 +C)- (1/5+C) = 3139 4/5 fixed.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I think I am read to move to the next one.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

But the process is right ~

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

And you only need the +C on the indefinite..

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Wait, for the first problem, it doesn't really matter. I read though that Cs DO cancel.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The Cs cancel when subtracting the sums, or not ?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah C will be cancelled out for definite integrals but for indefinite C will remain if there are'nt any boundary conditions

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

thanks for the clarification. Moving on....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \int\limits_{0}^{2} ~~\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-1} ~dx } \]\[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \int\limits_{ }^{ } ~~\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-1} ~dx } \] then, I am doing long division, \[\large\color{midnightblue}{ \int\limits_{ }^{ } ~~(-\frac{1}{x+1} +\frac{1}{x-1} +1)~dx } \] u=x+1 du=dx s=x-1 ds=dx \[\large\color{midnightblue}{ -\log(u) + \int\limits_{ }^{ } \frac{1}{x-1} ~dx +x } \] \[\large\color{midnightblue}{ -\log(u) + \log(s) +x } \] \[\large\color{midnightblue}{ -\log(x+1) + \log(x-1) +x+C } \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

THen I am plugging in and subtracting the sums log(x-1) - log(x+1) + x + C log[ (x-1)/(x+1) ] + x + C log[ (x-1)/(x+1) ] + x log10 + C log[ (x-1)/(x+1) ] + log10^x + C log (x-1)10^x /(x+1) + C hold on is this necessary ? or should I just plug it in right away ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

log(x-1) - log(x+1) + x + C log(2-1) - log(2+1) + 2 + C log(1) - log(3) + 2 + C 2 - log(3) + C 2log(10) - log(3) + C log(10^2) - log(3) + C log(100/3) + C and at x=-1 I get undefined values, log(-1) -:(

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean at x=0 *

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah u can simplify it a little then put the limits \[I=[\log \frac{ x-1 }{ x+1 }+x+c]_{x=0 ~~\to~~x=2}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

but what when I get an undefined values at x=0. Because I do. What would I put as an answer ?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

wait i'm getting 2-log(3)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, I got the same, but I did... 2-log(3) 2log(10)-log(3) log(10²)-log(3) log(100)-log(3) log(100/3)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

this is for x=2, but at x=0 I a getting undefined value. i.e. log(-1)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

then we have to conclude that the integral does not converge

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Okay, thank you :)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

or u can take log(-1)=log(1)+i*pi using this--\[\log(-a)=\log(a)+i \pi\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

wait, when I plug 0 for x, I get log(x-1) - log(x+1) + x + C log(-1) - log(1) + x + C Using log(a)-log(b)=log(a ÷ b) log(-1) + x + C but I would just conclude it doesn't exist, because it is either negative log or an imaginary (?),

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I didn't know about \(\normalsize\color{black}{ \log(-a)=\log(a)+iπ}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

ty!

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah this property is true for only a>0
