I need help with this problem. I will upload a picture.

(integral)ln(x) dx set u = ln(x), dv = dx then we find du = (1/x) dx, v = x substitute (integral) ln(x) dx = (integral) u dv and use integration by parts = uv - (integral) v du substitute u=ln(x), v=x, and du=(1/x)dx = ln(x) x - (integral) x (1/x) dx = ln(x) x - (integral) dx = ln(x) x - x + C = x ln(x) - x + C.

where are you getting ln(x) from?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we are given \[\Large \int_{1}^{10}f(x)dx = 4\] \[\Large \int_{10}^{3}f(x)dx = 7\] we want to find \[\Large \int_{1}^{3}f(x)dx\]

srry this was for someone else

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the first step is to flip the limits of integration on \[\Large \int_{10}^{3}f(x)dx = 7\] to get \[\Large \int_{10}^{3}f(x)dx = 7\] \[\Large -\int_{3}^{10}f(x)dx = 7\] \[\Large \int_{3}^{10}f(x)dx = -7\] take note of the sign change

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Now let \[\Large y = \int_{1}^{3}f(x)dx\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large \int_{1}^{3}f(x)dx + \int_{3}^{10}f(x)dx = \int_{1}^{10}f(x)dx\] \[\Large y + (-7) = 4\] and I'm sure you see how to isolate y at this point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't get why the sign changed @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the integral from a to b is equal to the exact area under the curve if the function curve is a velocity function v(t), then the exact area under the curve is equal to the displacement of the object
