calc!

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

there are two methods in order to compute your integral

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please try this substitution: \[t = \sinh \theta \]

OpenStudy (wade123):

okay(:

OpenStudy (wade123):

since it is squared, it can come out of the sqrt

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to apply this identity: \[{\left( {\cosh \theta } \right)^2} - {\left( {\sinh \theta } \right)^2} = 1\]

OpenStudy (wade123):

ohh got it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please note that if you are not expertise with hyperbolic functions, then you can try another method

OpenStudy (wade123):

i think i got it(: i got my answer

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (wade123):

let me know if im totally wrong... 1/sqrt2 - x/ sqrt 1+x^2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Is your final result?

OpenStudy (wade123):

yes..

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Please wait I check your result

OpenStudy (wade123):

ok(:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, I got a different result, please retry and write step by step

OpenStudy (wade123):

wait was my first answer correct then? sqrt 1+x^2

OpenStudy (wade123):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

after the substitution above, you should get this: \[\begin{gathered} \int {\sqrt {1 + {t^2}} } \;dt = {\int {\left( {\cosh \theta } \right)} ^2}\;d\theta = \frac{{\theta + \sinh \theta \cosh \theta }}{2} = \hfill \\ = \left. {\frac{{\ln \left[ {\sqrt {1 + {t^2}} + t} \right] + t\sqrt {1 + {t^2}} }}{2}} \right|_1^x \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Please continue, I think it is the right result, not the final result, of course.

OpenStudy (wade123):

1?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, don't think, since the final answer must contain the x-variable

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: if \[F(t) = \frac{{\ln \left[ {\sqrt {1 + {t^2}} + t} \right] + t\sqrt {1 + {t^2}} }}{2}\] then you have evaluate this difference:\[F\left( x \right) - F\left( 1 \right)\]

OpenStudy (wade123):

this makes no sense, you said it was not , sqrt of 1+x^2??

OpenStudy (wade123):

those 2 are the only answers i get..

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I said that \[\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} \] is not your answer

OpenStudy (wade123):

and you said it was not,

OpenStudy (wade123):

those are the only 2 answers i get :/

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

really your integration is not easy, so you have to be patient, please evaluate the difference above using my primitive function, and you will get your answer

OpenStudy (wade123):

i did!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

what is it?

OpenStudy (wade123):

OpenStudy (wade123):

but if it is wrong, then i dont get why im getting this

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait, I'm checking your expression

OpenStudy (wade123):

:)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I got this answer: \[\ln \sqrt {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + x}}{{1 + \sqrt 2 }}} - \left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} - \frac{{x\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}{2}} \right)\]

OpenStudy (wade123):

so it would be none of the above??

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait, I try with another method

OpenStudy (wade123):

:)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Sorry, since your question requests the derivative of the function F(x), not the evaluation of the integral. So in order to get your answer, you have to apply the fundamental theorem of integral calculus

OpenStudy (wade123):

ohh thats why i was so confused on your work hahaha

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

That theorem states that the first derivative of F(x) is equal to the integrand function, namely: \[F'\left( x \right) = \sqrt {1 + {x^2}} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

So what is your option?

OpenStudy (wade123):

thats what i did and got the first one, A

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

are you sure?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please look at my function F ' (x)

OpenStudy (wade123):

oh wait! i meant my first answer, sorry i mixed it up ahhaha i put that in the very beginning (:

OpenStudy (wade123):

thanks(:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks! Please it is necessary that you study the fundamental theorem of integral calculus
