PLEASE HELP I'M COMPLETELY DESPERATE... I have to finish this before 8AM in order to graduate but I'm so confused and frustrated with myself, please help I'm begging. - http://prntscr.com/bcx16a - http://prntscr.com/bcx1od

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (adrimit):

for the second question, the partitions have width 1. If the function is decreasing and each partition is evaluated on the right (i.e. the upper right corner intercepts the curve) or if the function is increasing and each partition is evaluated on the left, (i.e. the upper left corner intercepts the curve) then you will underestimate the integral

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: please integrate this: \[\int {\frac{{dy}}{{\sqrt {1 - {y^2}} }}} = \int {6xdx} \]

OpenStudy (adrimit):

wat? how does that help?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

For the first problem? Okay one sec

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: try this substitution: \(y=\sin\theta\) wherein \(\theta\) is the new variable

OpenStudy (adrimit):

oh the first question

OpenStudy (adrimit):

yeah it is a separable differential equation

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

wait is it just 3x^2?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (adrimit):

no

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

you have to add the arbitrary constant at the right side @tmagloire1

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

i'm confused not sure which side to integrate

OpenStudy (adrimit):

\[\int\frac{dy}{\sqrt{1-y^2}}=\int6x\;dx \\\int\frac{cos\;\theta\;d\theta}{cos\;\theta}=3x^2 \\\theta=3x^2 \\y=sin^{-1}(3x^2)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: please you have to integrate both sides right side = \(\int {6xdx} = 3{x^2} + C,\quad C \in \mathbb{R}\)

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

that's already separable?

OpenStudy (adrimit):

so you were close, but forgot to back substitute

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

so y = inverse sin (3x^2) is the solution for part A or is that just part of it?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if we integrate both sides, we get: \[\arcsin y = 3{x^2} + C,\quad C \in \mathbb{R}\]

OpenStudy (adrimit):

yeah don't forget the arbitrary constant. and that is part A

OpenStudy (adrimit):

for part B, what are the domains of x and y?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

Part B just requires an explanation they don't give us that information just the equation and y(0)

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

is it because they're inseparable possibly?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: we can rewrite the solution, as follows: \[y = \sin \left( {3{x^2} + C} \right),\quad C \in \mathbb{R}\]

OpenStudy (adrimit):

well, let's start by answering the questions "What are the allowable values of x?" and "What are the allowable values of y?"

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, if we apply the initial condition, we get: \[2 = \sin C,\quad C \in \mathbb{R}\] is that condition possible?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

for y it's 2 and for x we don't know x

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

no it isn't?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

why?

OpenStudy (adrimit):

no that is not the way to approach part B

OpenStudy (adrimit):

You must prove that y(0)=2 is not in the domain of the curve

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

How do I do that?

OpenStudy (adrimit):

again, I will ask "what are the possible values of x?"

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

not sure how to figurer that out

OpenStudy (adrimit):

ok, are there any values of x for which \(6x\sqrt{1-y^2}\) is undefined?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

0 and 2?

OpenStudy (adrimit):

no, all real x are ok (i.e. there is no restriction on x)

OpenStudy (adrimit):

what about y?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

2 for y

OpenStudy (adrimit):

on what interval is \(\sqrt{1-y^2}\) undefined?

OpenStudy (adrimit):

6x is defined for all x

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

1 and -1

OpenStudy (adrimit):

no, those values are ok. where is a square root defined for real numbers?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

the negative or positive of the same number?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

im gettitng confused

OpenStudy (adrimit):

no it is defined when the argument (thing under the radical) is non-negative

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

So how does that prove that the argument doesn't have a solution if it's defined?

OpenStudy (adrimit):

is it defined at y=2? is \(\sqrt{1-2^2}\) a real number?

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

Oh no it isn't

OpenStudy (adrimit):

exactly

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

So it doesn't have a solution because the argument is undefined

OpenStudy (adrimit):

right

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

Ohh gotcha, thank you! I just need help with the last trapezoid problem now

OpenStudy (adrimit):

ok. basically a trapezoidal region averages the lower bound and upper bound of the area of each partition

OpenStudy (tmagloire1):

ok
