Can someone check my integration work? Doc is attached. TIA

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Well how you apply the power rule makes no sense to me, though your first one is almost right, it's a -3

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

#4 is not right

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

The bonus is just weird. There are two possible interpretations

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

for power rule, try writing it like this, it will be less confusing(instead of combining them which makes it easier to make a mistake). \[\int x^r dx= \frac{1}{r+1}x^{r+1}\]

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

of course a +C is implied there^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what should be the correct response for 4?

OpenStudy (freckles):

by the way number 1 has a wrong sign somewhere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woops, terribly easy mistake on 1

OpenStudy (freckles):

number 2 looks like you change the sign of one the exponents

OpenStudy (freckles):

also when checking derivatives like and you have something like F(x)=x^2-3x then all you need to say is F'(x)=2x-3

OpenStudy (freckles):

like you don't say f'(F(x))=2x-3

OpenStudy (freckles):

you just say F'(x)=2x-3 or since F'=f f(x)=2x-3 being the original integrand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for that tip, not seeing the error in number 2

OpenStudy (freckles):

like why does 11/17 change to -11/17?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh boy

OpenStudy (freckles):

is there a negative on that exponent to begin with that I'm not seeing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

3 is missing the plus c

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ah found it strike the last

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything missing from 4?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

no, 4 is right, I just looked at the wrong thing for the answer

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

for bonus, 2 interpretations, 1 the antiderivative of the integral of f(x)=whatever they said 2. The integral of f(x)=WHATEVER THEY SAID

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

whoops hit caps lock, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the prof is just asking to differentiate an integral in a tricky way.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

nah, I think it is the first one

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

but I would put both and explain that there are two interpretations of the question since it was phrased so poorly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thanks for the help all
