Evaluate the Integral.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[\int\limits_{36}^{49} \frac{ \ln y }{ \sqrt{y} } dy\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

When you differentiate log(y), it turns into some y stuff, ya? 1/y. No more log after that. So it makes sense to try Parts again, with log(y) being your u.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh okay. Ill try that

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I got stuck :/

zepdrix (zepdrix):

No no, dv is wrong.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \int\limits\limits \frac{\ln y}{\sqrt y}dy\quad=\quad \int\limits\limits \ln y\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt y}dy\right)\quad=\quad \int\limits u(dv)\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh i see. so \[\ln y \times 2(y)^{1/2} - 2 \int\limits_{36}^{49} \frac{ \sqrt{y} }{y }\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Good, yes.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I am stuck at the integration part

zepdrix (zepdrix):

y^(1/2) / y^1 Simplify this using exponent rule.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

so...\[\frac{ 2\left( y \right)^{3/2} }{ 3y } ?\]

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[\frac{ \sqrt{y} }{ y }=\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{y} }=y ^{-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

No, perhaps you made the same mistake as before.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \frac{\sqrt y}{y}=\frac{1}{\sqrt y}\]This is not the same as \(\large\rm \sqrt y\) though.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh you left a y in the denominator :P Yah something weird going on there. Didn't notice that til now.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm 2\sqrt y \ln y-2\int\limits y^{-1/2}dy\]It's pretty much the same integration as your dv to v, ya?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

why is y to the (-1/2) power? Isnt it suppose to be positive? and what happened to the 1/y?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

oh did you do \[y^{1/2} - y^{2/2}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \frac{\sqrt y}{y}=\frac{y^{1/2}}{y^1}\]From that point, applying exponent rule,\[\large\rm \frac{y^{1/2}}{y^1}=y^{1/2-1}\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh yea.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

So then it would be \[2\sqrt{y}\ln y - 2 \left[ y^{1/2} \right] 36 \to 49\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm don't you end up with another 2 after that integration? Thinking..

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm 2\sqrt y \ln y-2\color{orangered}{\int\limits\frac{1}{\sqrt y}dy}\]becomes,\[\large\rm 2\sqrt y \ln y-2\color{orangered}{(2\sqrt y)}\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh yes, i had forgotten to include it

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

So the answer it \[2\sqrt{y}\ln y - 4\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Nvm, it says that my answer is wrong

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The integral has bounds.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Hm?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

I plugged in the 49 and 36 and got -2[14-12]= -2[2] = -4

zepdrix (zepdrix):

What? How are you getting these nice simple numbers with natural log involved?

OpenStudy (loser66):

@zepdrix I just wonder if I can let u = sqrt y?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh no. lol I meant for the integration part. So I have\[2\sqrt{y}\ln y - 2 \int\limits_{36}^{49} \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{y} }dy\] Which then becomes... \[2\sqrt{y} \ln y - 2 (2\sqrt{y}) \] Then I plugged in the numbers (49 and 36) \[2\sqrt{y} \ln y - 2 \left[ 2\sqrt{49}-2\sqrt{36} \right]\] Then I got.. \[2\sqrt{y} \ln y - 2 \left[ 2(7)-2(6) \right]\] \[2\sqrt{y} \ln y - 2 \left[ 14-12 \right]\] \[2\sqrt{y} \ln y - 2 \left[ 2 \right]\] \[2\sqrt{y} \ln y - 4\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

But its wrong :/

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh woah woah woah... no no. The bounds still apply to the first part of our IBP.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So what we would like to do is this,\[\large\rm \left(2\sqrt y \ln y-4\sqrt y\right)_{36}^{49}\]Plug these values into the entire thing.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

If you like, maybe remember your integration by parts formula like this,\[\large\rm \int\limits_a^b u~dv=uv|_a^b-\int\limits_a^b v~du\]

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh. okay

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

\[14\ln 7-12\ln 6 - 4\] ?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

It's log(y), not log(sqrty)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

You're plugging 49 and 36 into your logs, not 7 and 6, right?

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Yea

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Oh i see \[14 \ln 49 - 12 \ln 36 -4\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ok that looks much better. You can apply some log rules if you want to simplify it further,\[\large\rm \ln\left(\frac{49^{14}}{36^{12}}\right)-4\]But where you stopped is probably fine.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

SID... SIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD... Dude bro... keep studying... boy oh boy D: Some of your Algebra skills are a bit rusty. Practice practice practice.

OpenStudy (itz_sid):

Yea I know haha. Will do!
