definite integral with u sub

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\sqrt{x}(1+x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know indefinte integration

OpenStudy (amistre64):

why the need of a u sub?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

looks like its already done then

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

well you already have the answer from wolfram

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so what is the question you have about the process?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well yea, i just dont get their u sub method, where the first u^2 comes form

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its just a working of the substitution .... u = sqrt(x) du = 1/2sqrt(x) dx 2 sqrt(x) du = dx but its already defined that u = sqrt(x) 2u du = dx

OpenStudy (amistre64):

u^2 = (sqrt(x))^2 as well

OpenStudy (amistre64):

therefore: 2u u (u^2 + 1) du is the sub

OpenStudy (amistre64):

was there a reason for a u sub to start with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess not i distributed the sqrtx through then since its addition you can integrate seperatly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe you would like this problem, a metal plate of dendity δ(y)=1+y,has a shape bounded by the curve y = √x, the x-axis, and the line x = 1. find the mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a shape bounded by the curve y=sqrtx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m=density*volume. \[\int\limits_{0}^{1}(1+y)(volume)dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the solution sheet for my exam review it states volume as 1-y^2, while if you solve for y in y=sqrtx you just have y^2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we have a metal plate in a shape, hose density at any point is defined as d(y) mass is equal to the area*density .... in 3d objects i spose volume is proper. in some classes they simply define area as 2d volume

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a multiple integration of dy dx is what im considering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just dont understand where solving for x in the bounds function a 1-y^2 came up, maybe through polhatogean theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pythagorean*

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x = 0 to 1 y = 0 to sqrt(x) and for any point on the plate, we have a density value of (1+y) \[\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{x}}(1+y)dy~dx\] integrate the inside \[\int_{0}^{1}\left(\int_{0}^{\sqrt{x}}(1+y)dy\right)~dx\] \[\int_{0}^{1} (\sqrt{x}+\frac12x)~dx\] then wrap up whats left over

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/6 is the answer, but thats not the correct way to do it in terms of the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

they did dx dy

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1413385119481:dw|
