OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

evaluate the integral

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

I know this is not hard at all, my algebra is not all the good. \[\int\limits_{1}^{9} \frac{ \sqrt{u}-2u^2 }{ u }\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

so I know you basically have to find the anti derivative. then plug in 9 then 1 and subtract them

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

turn square root into power (u)^1/2 and split the fraction

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\[\large \int_{1}^{9}\frac{u^{\frac{1}{2}}-2u^2}{u}du=\int_{1}^{9}(\frac{u^{\frac{1}{2}}}{u}-2\frac{u^2}{u})du\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

can you take it from there?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

let me try

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

okay

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

let me ask you what is \[\frac{a^n}{a^m}=?\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[\frac{ \frac{ u ^{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }}}{ \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } } }{ u } - 2\frac{ \frac{ u^3 }{ 3}}{ u }\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

a^n-m?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

oh no first simplify u^1/2 /u and u^2/u before doing anti derivative

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes use that to simplify

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

a=u here n=1/2 m=1

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

and the same thing fro u^2/u=u you know u.u/u left with only one u

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so work on u^1/2 /u =?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

wait, hold on. U^-1/2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you need to really work on your algebra

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes correct

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

hahaaha

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah seriously this is needs somewhat good algebra just do some reviews and stuff

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

wonder how I made it to Calc 2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

okay so we have \[\large \int_{1}^{9}(u^{\frac{-1}{2}}-2u )du\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hehe oh this is calc2 wow i'm surprised, i'm in calc 2 as well hehe

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now use the power rule for anti derivatives

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

wait isn't it \[-2u^2/u\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

well you must be good ate any rate you just need to do more hard work :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes! it is simplified to -2u i explain how above u^2/u=u

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

right right

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you should at least know that one lol

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay so now I integrate?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so can you carry it now

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[u ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2}} - u^2\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm try again if you do derivative of that you get 1/2 u^{-1/2}-2u

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

we don't have that 1/2 there so we have to make up for it

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the other part you got it right it u^2

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

wait a minute it is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } u ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} - u^2\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no no

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

because -.5 + 1 is .5?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you are making it 1/4 instead hehe

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

to get rid of 1/2 you multiply by 2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

it's not about that its the near u^1/2 that's what you got wrong

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

it should be 2u^1/2-u^2 okay

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

gotcha

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now evaluate \[[.......]_{1}^{9}\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

you haven't forgotten the limits do you? haha

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

-76

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes sound good!

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

thanks for you help

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

welcome!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

review some algebra the calc 2 has a lot of work needs to be done i take it you just started the course

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

yep, I will review asap. midterm in 3 days, yikes!

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

the quarter system is super fast

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

really! that's super fast ^^ good luck in your midterm

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

my calc2 class hasn't started yet

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

oh wow, well thanks

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

welcome!

unknownnnnnn: Static at 2 A.M. My mind doesnu2019t knock. It rearranges the furniture at 2 a.m., asks me to notice every creak. I lie still like that might help, like silence is a language my thoughts forgot. They line up with receipts, proof of moments I replayed too many times to pretend they were accidents. Iu2019m fluent in overthinking itu2019s the only subject I never skipped. I can turn one sentence into a courtroom drama, cross-examine my tone, convict myself without witnesses. People call me u201cstrongu201d because I donu2019t spill. They donu2019t see the cup shaking in my hands, how much effort it takes to keep the surface calm. Confidence comes in phases. Some days it fits like skin. Some days itu2019s a costume I forget Iu2019m wearing until it starts to pinch. I laugh on cue. I answer u201cfineu201d with convincing timing. Iu2019ve learned where to pause, how long eye contact should last, how not to sound like a question when Iu2019m one. The past isnu2019t loud. It doesnu2019t need to be. It just clears its throat at the wrong moments, reminds me what I already survived and what might try again. But hereu2019s the part I donu2019t downplay I stay. Even when my thoughts argue in circles, even when doubt files appeals. I choose presence over perfection. Breath over escape. I donu2019t win every round, but I donu2019t forfeit myself either. I am not the static. I am the one listening, deciding what deserves a response and what can fade without taking my name with it.
