How would you attack this? Calculus

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

is this 1-x/ sqrtx ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

if so, split into 1/sqrtx - sqrtx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is sqrt x by itself?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then power rule to each term

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

x/sqrtx = sqrtx

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

1-1/2 = 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{ 1-x }{ x }\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

not a square rot on the bottom/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still do not understand why the sqrt of x is by itself. Sorry

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{1-x}{x}~dx ~~\Longrightarrow~~\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{x}-\frac{x}{x}~dx \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can draw it will be easier for you

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

didnt you have a square root?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{x}-1~dx \]then apply the power rule to the 2nd term, and the other rule, \[\int\limits_{ }^{ }~1/x~~~dx=~\ln \left| x \right|+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{ 1-x }{ sqrt{x} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So sorry caused confusion

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{1-x}{\sqrt{x}}~dx \]\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}- \frac{x}{\sqrt{x}}~dx \]\[\int\limits_{1}^{4}x^{-1/2}-x^{1/2}~dx \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then power rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it, I LOVE YOU GUYS ONCE AGAIN

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

okay, yw
