Would someone help check my integration homework please? Doc is attached. TIA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

part 2 b is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything else you see awry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not seeing exactly what is wrong with 2b...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You'll have to make a distinction between \[\Large \int\limits_{\color{red}1}^\color{green}3 f(x)dx\] and \[\Large \int\limits_\color{green}3^\color{red}1 f(x)dx\] They are related, surely, but not the same. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone explain to me how that answer is derived?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg, it's freckles, my savior

OpenStudy (freckles):

Hey. One sec while I process us your homework.

OpenStudy (freckles):

1 looks great

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{3}f(x)dx=\int\limits_{0}^{3}f(x)dx-\int\limits_{0}^{1}f(x) dx\] looks like you did the first one right since you are taking the area that is on 0 and 1 from the area that is on 0 and 3

OpenStudy (freckles):

the second one... \[\int\limits_{a}^{b}f(x) dx=-\int\limits_{b}^{a}f(x) dx\] if you switch the limits make sure your change the sign of the integral

OpenStudy (freckles):

so let's see you have \[\int\limits_{3}^{1}f(x) dx=-\int\limits_{1}^{3}f(x) dx\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

but you already evaluated the integral next to the negative sign in the previous question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotcha

OpenStudy (freckles):

so you see that a and b should be opposite values

OpenStudy (freckles):

also good on the last 2 questions of number 2

OpenStudy (freckles):

do you want to know why they are opposite values?

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\int\limits_{a}^{b}f(x) dx=F(x)|_a^b=F(b)-F(a) \\ =-(F(a)-F(b))=-F(x)|_b^a=\int\limits_b^a -F(x) dx=- \int\limits_b^aF(x) dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, processing that, and need to study up more on these rules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do 3,4,5 look?

OpenStudy (freckles):

didn't see those

OpenStudy (freckles):

one sec

OpenStudy (freckles):

well on number 3 when you calculate the integral of 2x+1 on [-2,2] you will get a net area

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh you subtracted but I see have a little problem with

OpenStudy (freckles):

I got how you got the heights of both triangles

OpenStudy (freckles):

how did you get the bases ?

OpenStudy (freckles):

|dw:1429646134055:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, like that

OpenStudy (freckles):

|dw:1429646181706:dw|
