Example Question #171 : Equations

Evaluate the following integral:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To evaluate this integral, it is easier to split it into two integrals:

For the first integral, the following substitution must be made:

Rewriting the integral and integrating, we get:

The following rule was used to integrate:

Replacing u with the original term, we get

Next, we evaluate the second integral:

which was found using the following rule:

Combining the results - and the constants of integration - we get

 

Example Question #2252 : Calculus

Set up, but don't evaluate an integral expression which will find the area of the region bound by the lines , the x-axis, and the function v(x)

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Set up, but don't evaluate an integral expression which will find the area of the region bound by the lines , the x-axis, and the function v(x)

First, we need the correct limits of integration. We want 5 as the lower limit and 25 as the upper limit.

Next, add in our function and the dx and we are all set!

Example Question #171 : Integral Expressions

Set up, but do not evaluate, an integral expression for the area of the region bound by the y-axis, h(t), and the lines 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Set up, but do not evaluate, an integral expression for the area of the region bound by the y-axis, h(t), and the lines 

To set up a definite integral, we first need our limits of integration:

In this case, they will be 5 and 6, because those are the lines which are the boundaries of our region.

Finally, we want to include our function

Don't forget the dt, so that we know which variable we would integrate with respect to.

.

 

Example Question #2260 : Calculus

A very important physics formula is called the continuity equation. We will only consider the 1-dimensional continuity equation for now. 

In the continuity equation, we're given that:

, where  is a function of  and .

Rewrite the right side of the equation in integral form. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall that the fundamental theorem of calculus states that:

Using this knowledge we write the right side as:
