Question

lynda.boyce · Answer

$$\int\limits_{10}^{5}200x^1.075dx$$

zzr0ck3r · Answer

that is written weird.

lynda.boyce · Answer

i'm sorry the 5 and 10 need to be switched

do you men  ?
$$\int\limits_{5}^{10}200x^{1.075}dx$$

zzr0ck3r · Answer

ahh

lynda.boyce · Answer

$$\int\limits_{5}^{10}200x ^{1.075}$$

zzr0ck3r · Answer

$\int_a^bcx^ldx = \frac{c}{l+1}x^{l+1}|_a^b$

zzr0ck3r · Answer

where $f(x) |_a^b \implies f(b) - f(a)$

lynda.boyce · Answer

I'm suppose to interpret it but I am not understanding what he means(my professor). He says I think to explain it not solve it

zzr0ck3r · Answer

do you know what the graph looks like?

lynda.boyce · Answer

there isn't a graph

zzr0ck3r · Answer

graph the function you are taking the integral of. i.e. graph $f(x) = 200x^{1.075}$

@Study_together can you help?

study_together · Answer

a function of which a given function is the derivative, i.e., which yields that function when differentiated, and which may express the area under the curve of a graph of the function.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

Graph the function. then it is the area between 5 and 10

study_together · Answer

Does that help @Kash_TheSmartGuy

zzr0ck3r · Answer

not just under the curve.... I think that is a bad way of saying it... we must balance out the negative when looking at it as area...
