Example Question #31 : Integrals
To solve this problem we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: If , then .
First we need to find the indefinite integral.
Since we're adding terms, we take the integral or anti-derivative of each part separately. For , we can use the reverse power rule, which states that we raise the exponent of the variable by one and then divide by that new exponent. For sine, we use our trigonometric integral rules.
Remember, .
Don't forget to include a to account for any constants!
Plug that into the FTOC:
Notice that the 's cancel out.
Plug in our given values:
Example Question #32 : Integrals
To find the definite integral, we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. This states that if , then .
To use the FToC, we need to find our indefinite integral of our given equation.
To find the indefinite integral, or anti-derivative, we can use the reverse power rule. We raise the exponent of each variable by one and divide by that new exponent.
Don't forget to include a to cover any constant!
Simplify.
We can now plug that into FToC!
Notice that the 's cancel out.
Plug in our given values.
Example Question #31 : Finding Definite Integrals
Undefined
Remember the Rundamental Theorem of Calculus: If , then .
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 into the problem.
Notice that the 's cancel out. Plug in the values given in the problem:
Example Question #1 : Finding Indefinite Integrals
The integral of is . The constant 3 is simply multiplied by the integral.
Example Question #33 : Finding Integrals
To integrate , we need to get the two equations in terms of each other. We are going to use "u-substitution" to create a new variable, , which will equal .
Now, if , then
Multiply both sides by to get the more familiar:
Note that our , and our original equation was asking for a positive .
That means if we want in terms of , it looks like this:
Bring the negative sign to the outside:
.
We can use the power rule to find the integral of :
Since we said that , we can plug that back into the equation to get our answer:
Example Question #34 : Integrals
Evaluate the integral below:
1
In this case we have a rational function as , where
and
can be written as a product of linear factors:
It is assumed that A and B are certain constants to be evaluated. Denominators can be cleared by multiplying both sides by (x - 4)(x + 4). So we get:
First we substitute x = -4 into the produced equation:
Then we substitute x = 4 into the equation:
Thus:
Hence:
Example Question #42 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change
What is the indefinite integral of ?
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.
Example Question #43 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change
What is the indefinite integral of ?
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.
Example Question #44 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change
What is the indefinite integral of ?
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.
Example Question #71 : Asymptotic And Unbounded Behavior
What is the anti-derivative of ?
To find the indefinite integral of our expression, we can use the reverse power rule.
To use the reverse power rule, we raise the exponent of the by one and then divide by that new exponent.
First we need to realize that . From there we can solve:
When taking an integral, be sure to include a at the end of everything. stands for "constant". Since taking the derivative of a constant whole number will always equal , we include the to anticipate the possiblity of the equation actually being or instead of just .
