Example Question #14 : Finding Integrals

If n is a positive integer, find .

 

Possible Answers:

0

 

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We can find the integral using integration by parts, which is written as follows:

 

 

Let and . We can get the box below:

 

Now we can write:

 

 

 

 

Example Question #44 : Finding Integrals

What is the indefinite integral of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the anti-power rule or reverse power rule. We raise the exponent on the variables by one and divide by the new exponent.

For this problem, we'll treat  as  since anything to the zero power is one.

Since the derivative of any constant is , when we take the indefinite integral, we add a  to compensate for any constant that might be there.

From here we can simplify.

Example Question #45 : Finding Integrals

What is the indefinite integral of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the anti-power rule or reverse power rule. We raise the exponent on the variables by one and divide by the new exponent.

For this problem, we'll treat  as  since anything to the zero power is one.

Since the derivative of any constant is , when we take the indefinite integral, we add a  to compensate for any constant that might be there.

From here we can simplify.

Example Question #46 : Finding Integrals

What is the indefinite integral of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the indefinite integral, we can use the reverse power rule: we raise the exponent by one and then divide by our new exponent.

Remember when taking the indefinite integral to include a  to cover any potential constants.

Simplify.

Example Question #15 : Finding Integrals

?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus! If , then .

Since we're given , we need to find the indefinite integral of the equation to get .

To solve for the indefinite integral, we can use the reverse power rule. We raise the power of the exponents by one and divide by that new exponent. For this problem, that would look like:

Remember, when taking an integral, definite or indefinite, we always add , as there could be a constant involved.

Now we can plug that back in:

Notice that the 's cancel out.

Plug in our given numbers.

Example Question #91 : Asymptotic And Unbounded Behavior

?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus! If , then .

Since we're given , we need to find the indefinite integral of the equation to get .

To solve for the indefinite integral, we can use the reverse power rule. We raise the power of the exponents by one and divide by that new exponent.

We're going to treat  as , as anything to the zero power is one.

For this problem, that would look like:

Remember, when taking an integral, definite or indefinite, we always add , as there could be a constant involved.

Plug that back into the FTOC:

Notice that the 's cancel out.

Plug in our given values from the problem.

Example Question #71 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change

What is the indefinite integral of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the indefinite integral, we can use the reverse power rule: we raise the exponent by one and then divide by our new exponent.

We are going to treat  as  since anything to the zero power is one.

Remember when taking the indefinite integral to include a  to cover any potential constants.

Simplify.

Example Question #72 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change

What is the indefinite integral of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the indefinite integral, we use the reverse power rule. That means we raise the exponent on the variables by one and then divide by the new exponent.

Remember to include a  when computing integrals. This is a place holder for any constant that might be in the new expression.

Example Question #51 : Integrals

What is the indefinite integral of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the indefinite integral, we use the reverse power rule. That means we raise the exponent on the variables by one and then divide by the new exponent.

Remember to include a  when doing integrals. This is a placeholder for any constant that might be in the new expression.

Example Question #11 : Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: If , then .

Therefore, we need to find the indefinite integral of our equation first.

To do that, we can use the anti-power rule or reverse power rule. We raise the exponent on the variables by one and divide by the new exponent.

For this problem, we'll treat  as  since anything to the zero power is one.

Since the derivative of any constant is , when we take the indefinite integral, we add a  to compensate for any constant that might be there.

From here we can simplify.

That means that .

Notice that the 's cancel out.

From here, plug in our numbers.
