Calculus Help Please Explain.
@freckles
you are given f'' and you want to find f
if you integrate f'' just once you get f'
try that
and let me know what you get for f'
ok give me a minute.
So integrate the f''?
I would like to apply the condition for f' first that condition being f'(0)=7
use this to find the constant value in your f'(x)
I integrated f'' and got x^3/3+C
ok and so f'(x)=x^3/3+C and you are given f'(0)=7
f'(0)=0^3/3+C but f'(0)=7 so 0^3/3+C=7
find C then we will integrate f' to find f and use f(0)=2 to find the constant of integration here
C=7
right so you have f'(x)=x^3/3+7 integrate f' to find f
x^4/12+Cx+C
Why is there two C's?
f(x)=x^4/12+7x+C
*x^4/12+Cx
ohhhh my bad i put C instead of 7 I frgot to plug in
now use f(0)=2 to find C in f(x)=x^4/12+7x+C
by the way some people would feel OCD about calling this new constant of integration C when we called the old one C also
You could have wrote x^4/12+Cx+D for f if you wanted but not x^4/12+Cx+C
So anyways we have f(x)=x^4/12+7x+D I guess I will use D instead but anyways use f(0)=2 to find D
C=-2
how did you get C (or D whatver) is -2?
C=-5***
0^4/12+7(0)+C=2 ?
typo
0+0+C=2 so C=?
Oh I forgot to plug in 0 for x by the 7 it should be C=2
so then y=f(x) is ?
this one I have no clue where to start.
\[f''(x)=x^2 \\ f'(x)=\frac{x^3}{3}+C \\ \text{ use } f'(0)=7 \text{ \to find } C \\ f'(0)=\frac{0^3}{3}+C=7 \implies C=7 \\ f'(x)=\frac{x^3}{3}+7 \\ f(x)=\frac{x^4}{3(4)}+7x+D \\ f(x)=\frac{x^4}{12}+7x+D \\ \text{ use } f(0)=2 \text{ \to find } D \\ f(0)=\frac{0^4}{12}+7(0)+D=2 \implies D=2 \\ \text{ so } f(x)=\frac{x^4}{12}+7x+2\]
just use addition/difference law for integration and use constant multiple rule for integration
Gotcha
\[\int\limits (a f(t)+b g(t))dt \\ =\int\limits a f(t) dt + \int\limits b g(t) dt \\ =a \int\limits f(t) dt + b \int\limits g(t) dt \]
then plug in
and perform order of operations
for the next one?
what next one
I the last one I seen was 27
that's the same problem
did you mean to post another one
Oh ok... So just plug in?
just use addition/difference law for integration and use constant multiple rule for integration then plug in then order of operations
I gave an example above on how to use addition/difference and constant multiple rule for integration
Ok I'll try it .
I have to go should be pretty easy though it is like them asking you to evaluate -24X-2Y when X=15/4 and Y=3/2
I don't get it..
\[\int\limits_1^2 (-24t^3-2t) dt \\ \int\limits_1^2 (-24t^3)dt -\int\limits _1^2 (2t )dt \] did you try to apply the difference/addition rule for integration?
now bring out those constants for each and just plug in the values given
ohhhhh ok I think i see it now... I'll catch ya later :)Thanks again for the help.
