Example Questions

Example Question #53 : Functions, Graphs, And Limits

Evaluate the following indefinite integral.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

For this problem, we must simply remember that the integral of  is , just like how the derivative of  is .  Just keep in mind that we need that constant of integration  that would have been lost during differentiation.

Example Question #54 : Functions, Graphs, And Limits

Evaluate the following indefinite integral.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First, we know that we can pull the constant  out of the integral, and we then evaluate the integral according to this equation:

. From this, we acquire the answer above.  As a note, we cannot forget the constant of integration  which would be lost during the differentiation.

Example Question #55 : Functions, Graphs, And Limits

Possible Answers:

\frac{1}{2}sec^2xtanx +C

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The answer is . The definition of the derivative of  is . Remember to add the  to undefined integrals.

Example Question #261 : Ap Calculus Ab

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

1

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the antiderivative, add 1 to the exponent and divide by the exponent. 

Example Question #262 : Ap Calculus Ab

Evaluate:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Example Question #58 : Functions, Graphs, And Limits

Evaluate:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

You should first know that the derivative of .

Therefore, looking at the equation you can see that the antiderivative should involve something close to: 

Now to figure out what value represents the square take the derivative of  and set it equal to what the original integral contained. 

Since the derivative of  contains a 3 that the integral does not show, we know that the square is equal to . Thus, the answer is .

Example Question #59 : Functions, Graphs, And Limits

Evaluate:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The antiderivative of . The derivative of . However, since there is no 2 in the original integral, we must divide  by 2. Therefore, the answer is

Example Question #263 : Ap Calculus Ab

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When taking the antiderivative add one to the exponent and then divide by the exponent. 

Example Question #264 : Ap Calculus Ab

Evaluate the integral:

Possible Answers:

Cannot be evaluated 

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The derivative of . Therefore, the antiderivative of  is equal to itself. 

Example Question #33 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change

Evaluate:

Possible Answers:

Can't be determined from the information given.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

 and

 

Recall that  is an odd function and  is an even function.

Thus, since  is an odd function, the integral of this function from  to  will be zero.
