Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Finding Definite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

As it turns out, since our , the power rule really doesn't help us.  is the only function that is it's OWN anti-derivative. That means we're still going to be working with .

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Because  is so small in comparison to the value we got for , our answer will end up being 

Example Question #7 : Finding Definite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

Since our , we can use the power rule for all of the terms involved to find our anti-derivative:

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Example Question #8 : Finding Definite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

Since our , we can't use the power rule. We have to break up the quotient into separate parts:

 

.

The integral of 1 should be no problem, but the other half is a bit more tricky:

 is really the same as . Since ,  .

Therefore:

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Example Question #9 : Finding Definite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

Since our , we can use the power rule, if we turn it into an exponent: 

This means that:

 

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Example Question #10 : Finding Definite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

Since our , we can't use the power rule, as it has a special antiderivative:

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Since our , we can't use the power rule, as it has a special antiderivative:

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Example Question #33 : Calculus Ii — Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

Since our , we can't use the power rule. Instead we must use u-substituion.  If 

Remember to include the  for any anti-derivative or integral taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Example Question #11 : Finding Definite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

Since our , we can use the reverse power rule to find that the antiderivative is:

 

Remember to include a  for any integral or antiderivative taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

Notice that the c's cancel out. Plug in the given values for a and b and solve:

Example Question #35 : Calculus Ii — 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:
