Example Question #44 : Comparing Relative Magnitudes Of Functions And Their Rates Of Change

$\int_{3}^{40}e^x{\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

$2.35\cdot 10^{17}$

$1.05\cdot 10^{17}$

$2.35\cdot 10^{19}$

$2.35\cdot 10^{15}$

$2.35\cdot 10^{9}$

Correct answer:

$2.35\cdot 10^{17}$

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

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

$\int e^x{\mathrm{d} x}=e^x+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(e^b+c)-(e^a+c)$

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

$\int_{3}^{40}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(e^{40})-(e^3)$

$\int_{3}^{40}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(2.35\cdot 10^{17})-(20.09)$

Because e^3 is so small in comparison to the value we got for $e^{40}$ , our answer will end up being $2.35\cdot 10^{17}$

Example Question #31 : Calculus Ii — Integrals

$\int_2^6(5x^2+3x+2){\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

$401\tfrac{1}{3}$

$26\tfrac{2}{3}$

$204\tfrac{2}{3}$

$402\tfrac{2}{3}$

$-12\tfrac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$402\tfrac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our f(x)=5x^2+3x+2 , we can use the power rule for all of the terms involved to find our anti-derivative:

$\int (5x^2+3x+2){\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{5}{3}x^3+\frac{3}{2}x^2+2x+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{5}{3}b^3+\frac{3}{2}b^2+2b+c)-(\frac{5}{3}a^3+\frac{3}{2}a^2+2a+c)$

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

$\int_{2}^{6}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{5}{3}(6)^3+\frac{3}{2}(6)^2+2(6))-(\frac{5}{3}(2)^3+\frac{3}{2}(2)^2+2(2))$

$\int_{2}^{6}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(360+54+12)-(\frac{40}{3}+6+4)$

$\int_{2}^{6}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(426)-(23\tfrac{1}{3})$

$\int_{2}^{6}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=402\tfrac{2}{3}$

Example Question #2 : Finding Definite Integrals

$\int_3^5\frac{x+3}{x}{\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

3.21

5.67

1.33

6.12

3.53

Correct answer:

3.53

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our $f(x)=\frac{x+3}{x}$ , we can't use the power rule. We have to break up the quotient into separate parts:

$f(x)=\frac{x}{x}+\frac{3}{x}=1+\frac{3}{x}$ .

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

$\int\frac{3}{x}{\mathrm{d} x}$ is really the same as $3\int\frac{1}{x}{\mathrm{d} x}$ . Since $\int\frac{1}{x}{\mathrm{d} x}=\ln{x}$ , $\int\frac{3}{x}{\mathrm{d} x}=3\ln{x}$ .

Therefore:

$\int\frac{x+3}{x}{\mathrm{d} x}=x+3\ln{x}+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(b+3\ln{b}+c)-(a+3\ln{a}+c)$

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

$\int_{3}^{5}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(5+3\ln{5})-(3+3\ln{3})$

$\int_{3}^{5}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(9.83)-(6.30)$

$\int_{3}^{5}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}\approx 3.53$

Example Question #5 : Integrals

$\int_2^5\sqrt{x}\text{ }{\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

2.59

5.56

1.89

9.34

7.52

Correct answer:

5.56

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ , we can use the power rule, if we turn it into an exponent:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

This means that:

$\int f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int x^\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{2}{3}x^\frac{3}{2}+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{2}{3}b^\frac{3}{2}+c)-(\frac{2}{3}a^\frac{3}{2}+c)$

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

$\int_{2}^{5}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{2}{3}(5)^\frac{3}{2})-(\frac{2}{3}(2)^\frac{3}{2})$

$\int_{2}^{5}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}\approx(7.45)-(1.89)$

$\int_{2}^{5}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}\approx5.56$

Example Question #6 : Integrals

$\int_{12}^{15}\ln(x){\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

8.7

71.12

3.9

10.8

7.8

Correct answer:

7.8

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our $f(x)=\ln(x)$ , we can't use the power rule, as it has a special antiderivative:

$\int f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int \ln(x){\mathrm{d} x}=x\ln(x)-x+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(b\ln(b)-b+c)-(a\ln(a)-a+c)$

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

$\int_{12}^{15}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(15\ln(15)-15)-(12\ln(12)-12)$

$\int_{12}^{15}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}\approx(25.62)-(17.82)$

$\int_{12}^{15}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}\approx7.8$

Example Question #11 : Finding Integrals

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}\sin(x){\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

$2\pi$

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our $f(x)=\sin(x)$ , we can't use the power rule, as it has a special antiderivative:

$\int f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int \sin(x){\mathrm{d} x}=-\cos(x)+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(-\cos(b)+c)-(-\cos(a)+c)$

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

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(-\cos({2\pi}))-(-\cos(\pi))$

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(-1)-(-(-1))$

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=-2$

Example Question #11 : Finding Integrals

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}\cos(x){\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\pi$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our $f(x)=\cos(x)$ , we can't use the power rule, as it has a special antiderivative:

$\int f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int \cos(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\sin(x)+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\sin(b)+c)-(\sin(a)+c)$

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

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\sin({2\pi}))-(\sin(\pi))$

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(0)-(0)$

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=0$

Example Question #12 : Finding Integrals

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}\cos(2x){\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

$2\pi$

$\pi$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}-\int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our $f(x)=\cos(2x)$ , we can't use the power rule. Instead we must use u-substituion. If $u = 2x, du = 2dx,and\ dx = \frac{du}{2}$ .

$\int f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int \cos(2x){\mathrm{d} x}= \int cos(u) \cdot \frac{1}{2}dx)= \frac{sin(u)}{2}+c=\frac{\sin(2x)}{2}+c$

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

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_{a}^{b}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{\sin(2b)}{2}+c)-(\frac{\sin(2a)}{2}+c)$

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

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{\sin(4\pi)}{2})-(\frac{\sin(2\pi)}{2})$

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{0}{2})-(\frac{0}{2})$

$\int_{\pi}^{2\pi}f(x){\mathrm{d} x}=0$

Example Question #13 : Finding Integrals

$\int_5^{10}\2x^2{\mathrm{d} x}=?$

Possible Answers:

$583\tfrac{1}{3}$

$58\tfrac{1}{3}$

750

$666\tfrac{2}{3}$

$58\tfrac{2}{3}$

Correct answer:

$583\tfrac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Remember the fundamental theorem of calculus!

$\int_a^bf(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}- \int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

Since our f(x)=2x^2 , we can use the reverse power rule to find that the antiderivative is:

$\int2x^2{\mathrm{d} x}=\frac{2}{3}x^3+c$

Remember to include a for any integral or antiderivative taken!

Now we can plug that equation into our FToC equation:

$\int_a^bf(x){\mathrm{d} x}=\int f(b){\mathrm{d} x}- \int f(a){\mathrm{d} x}$

$\int_a^b 2x^2{\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{2}{3}b^3+c)-(\frac{2}{3}a^3+c)$

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

$\int_5^{10} 2x^2{\mathrm{d} x}=(\frac{2}{3}(10)^3)-(\frac{2}{3}(5)^3)$

$\int_5^{10} 2x^2{\mathrm{d} x}=(666\tfrac{2}{3})-(88\tfrac{1}{3})$

$\int_5^{10} 2x^2{\mathrm{d} x}=583\tfrac{1}{3}$

Example Question #11 : Finding Integrals

If n is a positive integer, find $\int_{0}^{2\pi}xsinxdx$ .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2\pi }{n}$

$\frac{\pi }{n}$

$-\frac{\pi }{n}$

$-2\pi$

Correct answer:

$-2\pi$

Explanation:

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

$\int udv=uv-\int vdu$

Let u=x and dv=sinxdx . We can get the box below:

$\begin{Bmatrix} u=x\\ du=dx\\ dv=sinxdx\\ v=-cosx+c \end{Bmatrix}$

Now we can write:

$\int_{0}^{2\pi}xsinxdx=\left |-xcosx+cx \right |_{0}^{2\pi }-\int_{0}^{2\pi} (-cosx+c)dx$

$=\left |-xcosx+cx+sinx-cx \right |_{0}^{2\pi }$

$=(-2\pi +0)-(0+0)$

$=-2\pi$
