Example Questions

Example Question #47 : Calculus Ii — Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the Fundamental Theorem ofCcalculus. If , then .

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

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.

Plug that into our Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

Notice that the 's cancel out.

Plug in our given numbers and solve.

Example Question #48 : Calculus Ii — Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. If , then .

Therefore we need to find the indefinite integral.

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.

Now plug that back into the FTOC:

Notice that the 's cancel out.

Plug in our given numbers.

Plug in our given numbers.

 

Example Question #51 : Calculus Ii — Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the definite integral, we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus that states that if , then .

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

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