Fundamental theorum of Calculus?

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Not sure how this is supposed to be solved exactly. Have a hunch FTC is involved.

OpenStudy (answerd56123):

This is a very complicated question but according to the way I solved it the right answer should be C. I hope this helps you! And if your still not sure, a bunch of web sight help walk u thro the problem

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

Shouldnt be complicated I dont think, thank you though.

OpenStudy (answerd56123):

Any Time

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

@agent0smith @nincompoop I got the correct answer, but I would really like to understand how to do this if you guys could help out

OpenStudy (answerd56123):

Does that mean I was right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It doesn't look complicated. Use u sub u = a^2 - x^2 (remember a is just a constant)

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

so du = -2x

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

I think i got it

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Right. It should be easy from there.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

What happened to my x value though? I got \[\frac{ 8(a^2-x^2)^\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

multiply the exponents?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

If you aren't sure, then differentiate that, and it should result in the original integral. Integration is easily checked by differentiation.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

No clue why you're asking to multiply the exponents though.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

because my answers exponent of (a^2)^(3/2) didnt match the correct answers exponent of a^3

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

I don't know what you've done. You integrated but never plugged in the limits

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

no worries, the reason im confused is because the variable x is removed from the answer, when I dont see how it can be, considering it is a part of my u

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Again... You haven't plugged in limits... you haven't finished the working.

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

ohhh gotcha, like the bounds. I was confused when you said limits. I forgot this was a definite integral, thanks
