u have to try with substituting \(a=-1,1\) i guess

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

average value of \(f(x)\) over the interval \([a,b]\) is given by : \[\dfrac{1}{b-a}\int\limits_a^b f(x)\, dx\]

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I think I'm supposed to find it with the variable a, and not substitute anything for it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

average value of \(a\sqrt{x}\) over the interval \([0,a]\) is given by : \[\dfrac{1}{a-0}\int\limits_0^a a\sqrt{x}\, dx\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

should be easy to evaluate

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I got \(\Large \frac{2a^{\frac{5}{2}}}{3}\) Is that right?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

doesn't look correct @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I used the formula....

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\dfrac{1}{a-0}\int\limits_0^a a\sqrt{x}\, dx = \dfrac{1}{a} *a*\dfrac{2}{3}a^{3/2} =\dfrac{2}{3}a^{3/2} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

exponent of \(a\) is just 3/2, not 5/2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Oh, I just noticed I forgot the 1/a-0 part!
