help please number 41

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You have to do it the parametric way or first re-parametrize it?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

this is what i did

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You are getting the general setup correctly.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

problems finishing integration?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\sqrt{2t^{-1}+t^4+t^{-6}}dt }\) first I would divide by \(t^3\) on the outside, and multiply times \(t^{6}\) on the inside. \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{t^{10}+2t^{5}+1}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{\left(t^{5}+1\right)^2}dt }\)

OpenStudy (marcelie):

yes , can you show me the steps under the radical.. i keep making mistakes lol

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Which steps, the first when I multiplied times \(t^{6}\) ?

OpenStudy (phi):

after squaring both terms you should get \[ 4t^{-1} + t^4 +t^{-6}-2t^{-1} \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I added like terms.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

hmm how u get 4t^-1 ? i thought it was suppose to be 4t^-2 ?

OpenStudy (phi):

and after combining like terms \[ t^4 +2 t^{-1} + t^{-6} \] as Solomon showed, you factor out t^-6 i.e.. multiply all terms by t^6 and compensate by dividing by t^6 you get \[ t^{-6} ( t^{10} + 2t^5 +1 ) \] the idea is to hope for a perfect square, which is why you try to make the lowest term 1 in this case, it works out.

OpenStudy (phi):

you square 2 t^(-½)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Marcelie, no I shouldn't. Yes, as phi explains.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{black}{\displaystyle \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{t}}\right)^2=\frac{2^2}{(\sqrt{t})^2}=\frac{4}{t}=4t^{-1} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Right?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

oh yeah

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, so we obtain \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\sqrt{4t^{-1}+t^4-2t^{-2}+t^{-6}}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then, I added like terms inside the sqrt to get \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\sqrt{2t^{-1}+t^4+t^{-6}}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

then, multiplying times the so called "magic one". In other words, divided outside sqrt by \(t^{-3}\) and inside the sqrt multiplied times \(t^6\), which gives \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{2t^{5}+t^{10}+1}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Interrupt me with a question, if you don't understand something ...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, inside the sqrt we have a perfect-square trinomial. \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{\left(t^5+1\right)^2}dt }\)

OpenStudy (marcelie):

hmm i got lost where you are diving t^-3

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

because I multiply times t^6 inside the square root.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

In other words, \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\sqrt{2t^{-1}+t^4+t^{-6}}dt }\) \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\times \frac{\color{blue}{t^3}}{\color{red}{t^3}}\sqrt{2t^{-1}+t^4+t^{-6}}dt }\) \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\color{red}{\div t^3\times }\sqrt{\color{blue}{t^6}\color{blue}{\left(\color{black}{t^4+2t^{-1}+t^{-6}}\right)}}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and then, this is simplified as \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{t^{10}+2t^5+1}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So far so good?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

If you have questions, you can definitely ask:)

OpenStudy (marcelie):

lol i kinda understand but i still dont understand by the t^3

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

We want to get rid of negative exponents inside the square root, this is why we want to multiply times \(t^6\) inside the square root (which is the same as multiplying times \(t^3\) on the outside of the sqrt).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

However, we can't just multiply outside the square-root times \(t^3\) because that completely changes the integrand. For this reason, in order to avoid "violent" changes, we multiply times \(t^3/t^3\).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So, the top \(t^3\) (which I colored in blue) goes inside the sqrt as \(t^6\) (because \(t^3=\sqrt{t^6}\)), and the bottom \(t^3\) we distribute into the parenthesis of \((\)t^3/3 + 1/2t\(^{-2}\)\()\).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

For this reason we did: \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{t^3}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-2} \right)\times \frac{\color{blue}{t^3}}{\color{red}{t^3}}\sqrt{2t^{-1}+t^4+t^{-6}}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

which as I wrote results in \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{t^{10}+2t^5+1}dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Better?

OpenStudy (marcelie):

yeah i get it now x)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Alright!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, with a little closer attention to the part inside sqrt, we see that it's a perfect square trinomial.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{t^{10}+2t^5+1}dt }\) \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\sqrt{(t^5+1)^2 }dt }\) \(\color{black}{\displaystyle\int_{1}^{4} 2\pi \left(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}t^{-5} \right)\left(t^5+1\right)dt }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Remark: In general, \(\color{black}{\displaystyle \sqrt{\left[f(x)\right]^2}=\left|f(x)\right| }\), however, in our case, knowing that \(\color{black}{\displaystyle t\ge0 }\), we have \(\color{black}{\displaystyle t^5+1\ge 1 }\), and since this quantity is always positive anyway, the absolute value bars are omitted.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Next, is to expand and finish the integration with nothing more complex than the power rule. Question? Ask! This is your task! :)

OpenStudy (marcelie):

okay got it ty :D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No problem:)
