Help with a confusing integral please?
\[\int\limits_{0}^{2\sqrt{3}}x^3(4-9x^2)^(1/2)\]
should be to the power of (1/2) or rad(4-9x^2)
the upper limit of integrations suggests a trig sub
I got the right integral but my question is how do I plug in 2rad3 back into it. the answer is -((4-9x^2)^(-3/2) * (27x^2+8)) / 1215
it becomes square rooting a negative number
When I did the trig sub x=(2/3)sin(theta) I couldn't change the limits of integration anyway since it doesn't fit into the range of sin
ok i lied no trig sub, go with \[u=9-x^2\] should do it
I could see that working but if that still gives the same answer how do you plug in the limits of integration. I checked with wolfram. It would still be sqroot of a negative number
oooh so i see
wasn't paying attention there is something wrong with the question
(64 (1 + 1079i * Sqrt[26]))/1215. Seems it doesn't have a real solution.
Hold on Slader.com had a solution to this question let me find it
They did u = 4-9x^2 And their answer was 64/1215 which seems to be rihgt
ohh their limits of integration changed to work out
love to see it the domain is \[[-\frac{2}{3},\frac{2}{3}]\] and \(2\sqrt3\) is not in it
They did: \[\int\limits_{4}^{0}(1/9)(4-u)\sqrt{u}(-1/18)du\]
whatever they did, it cannot make any sense the integrand is not defined on the most of the path of integration
That's really weird because my book said the answer was 64/1215
book is wrong
You mean the integral can't exist?
it is \[f(x)=x^3\sqrt{4-9x^2}\] right?
Yes
Oh the graph is really interesting. only goes from -2/3 to 2/3 like you said
oh wait
the upper limit is 2/3 not 2rad3
Superfacepalm
My bad >.<
oh
