For \[\int\limits_{3}^{4} \frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{3x-7} }dx\] i would just put u = 3x - 7 , du = 3 then you wont have to change the interval of the definite integral
u = 3 x - 7 dy = 3 dx, or dx = du/3
\[\int\limits \frac{ \cos~x }{ \sin^4 x }dx\] u misstyped a power when substituting... u = sin x du = cos x dx \[\large \int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ u^4 }du = \frac{ -1 }{ (3*u^3) } = \frac{ -1 }{ 3*\sin^3(x) }\]
\[\int\limits (x+1)\sqrt{x-2}~~dx\] i would just put u = x -2 ---> x = u + 2 du = dx \[\large \int\limits_{3}^{6}[u + 3]*u^{1/2}du = \large \int\limits_{3}^{6}[ u^{3/2} + 3u^{1/2} ]du\] no change in integration interval
All the probs look good though, doesnt matter how you get to the answer if it is right i guess, just was a couple things i noticed..
no, the method does matter. The prof grades the method the method is more imp than the answer.
so what would d be after i put u=3x-7 and du=3? @DanJS
That is how i remember to do it, just less writing maybe
did they show you probs replacing stuff under a root with a squared term like that t^2
no, not that I rember. But can you complete d through out if you think that's the answer than plz complete your problem so I can see what I did worng
\[\sqrt{t^2 }=\left| x \right|\] , yeah was just looking at wha tyou did again
\[\int\limits\limits_{3}^{4} \frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{3x-7} }dx = \int\limits\limits_{3}^{4}\frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{u} }*\frac{ du }{ 3 }\]
when u = 3x-7 and du = 3 dx
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } *\int\limits_{3}^{4}u^{-1/2}*du\]
you get \[(2/3)*2u^{1/2} \] from 3 to 4
I though there wont be a u in the answer
right , put back in the sub, u = 3x - 7 \[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\sqrt{3x - 7}\]
evaluated for the interval 3 to 4, looks the same final answer you have
hm okay for the next one that u mentioned. u said I missed a power. can you do that one too plz.
i never get the cos/sin ones anyway so
TO decide where a u-sub may be good for a prob, if you notice things in the function that are derivatives of other things , that is a good hint remember d/dx (sin x) = cos (x)
so if you let the u= sin, the derivative will be cos, and take out the numerator term with the du, u = sin(x) du = cos(x) dx \[\int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ u^4 }du = \int\limits u^{-4}du \]
= (-1/3) * u^-3 = -1/( 3 * sin^3(x))
okay so in this case what do i plug in at the end? or do i even d that?
is it a def or indef integral?
indef
yeah just simplify the function as much as you can , that is the answer ,
so -1/3(sin^3 x) is my answer
yeah, \[\huge \frac{ -1 }{ 3\sin^3(x) }\] you had the process right, you just put a u^3 in the bottom to integrate, shoul dbe a 4
okay last one that u mentioned (F) def 3-6
tysm for pointign out my erros :) I would have never realized it ahah but tysm for everything
lets finish the last one so I can work on my hw for other classes after we are doen with clac
ok, they arent huge errors, you have the right idea pretty much
yeah, you just did that let t^2 sub thing again for the quantity under the root,
let u = x -2 --->x= u + 2 du = dx
\[\int\limits_{3}^{6}(u + 2 + 1)\sqrt{u}*du\]
multiplies out to the integral of u ^ (3/2) + 3u^(1/2)
what answer did u got I thin k i did the whole prob wrong
no, yours actually looks good, probably less writing too in this case
so do you want me to keep it the way it is? I am changing my work to what you are showing me here
\[\large \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }u^{5/2}+2u^{3/2}\] replace u=x-2 evaluated from 3 to 6 =132/5
either way looks fine
show them to your teacher, and see what they have to say
oh okay tysm yay done! alright thanks man. I will send you few next time. thnaks bye tc
you are changing the prob from the domain in x, to domain in u you can change it to whatever you want, change from x to t^2 , just have to keep eveyuthing consistent and defined
alright sure I will try to do that!
subbing variables by how you change from x-space, to another space (u) so you can have a simpler function to integrate in another domain
okay will try to keep that in mind :)
you just have to keep your Map from one to the othe rconsistent
k goodluck
okay I will but the next assignmnet is going to be hard I am worried about that one
