NUmber 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi!! What is the Number 8 for?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\infty\]

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

\[if \left(\begin{matrix}8-x^2 for -2\le x \le2 \\ x^2 else where,\end{matrix}\right) then \int\limits_{-1}^{3}f(x) dx is a number \between \]

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

is a number between?* would you like to know the choices?

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

how would i do this?

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

ignore number 8

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm i see peiewize function and you the area under its curve

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

it is a peicewise

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

what 8 do yu want us to ignore? 8-x^2? this should be part of the funtion

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

i am talking about the title of the question. that is what you should ignore

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

eh soka!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{rcc} 8-x^2 & \text{if} & -2\leq x\leq 2\\ x^2& \text{otherwise} & \end{array} \right. \] just seeing if i could do it, ignore me

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

alright you just do some linearity here see where you should integrate 8-x^2 and x^2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

as you can see from -1<x<2 you can integrate 8-x^2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the rest 2 to 3 you integrate x^2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

do you get it, or should i write it down?

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

i know the answer is 8

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

The question asks for what the answer could be between

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\[\int_{-1}^{3}f(x)dx=\int_{-1}^{2}f(x)dx+\int_{2}^{3}f(x)dx\] \[\int_{-1}^{2}(8-x^2)dx+\int_{2}^{3}x^2dx\]

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

The choices were a) 0 and 8 b) 8 and 16 c) 16 and 24 d) 24 and 32 e) 32 and 40

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm i see so they separated it you just do those two integral separately

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\[\int_{-1}^{2}(8-x^2)dx=?\]

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

43/3

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

really how ?

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

the integral is 8x-(1/3)x^3

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i found 62/3

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

i tried it again, it gave me 21

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

i made an arithmetic mistake.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes 21 is good!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

but then it is not in the choices

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

I believe the answer is B

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

Earlier,I said the solution to the intergral was 8 and i was wrong

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

something is wrong in what you wrote? that way must work

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

can you post a snap shot of the problem please

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

is the function exately like missy wrote it

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hey yo there?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

???

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i'm waiting...

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

sorry, i will do that now

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

now i got what is those btw mean we need to add those two integrals and see the solution lies btw what two points

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i found 21 +19/3 =82/3 which lies 24<82/3<32

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

go with what we found in the first time and add the other integral

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

see if you got same as me

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

just miss understood the problem

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

i got 21-(19/3)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm why -19/3?

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

never mind

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

we are good.

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

so D?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

\[\int_{2}^{3}x^2ds=\frac{x^3}{3}=19/3\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes D

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

Instead of getting the sum of both integrals, I decided to do the difference.

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yeah i see that :)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

alright i think we solved that :)

OpenStudy (dessyj1):

Arigato!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

No problem :) yakoso
