Integration is an important concept together with differentiation, forms one of the main operations in calculus help
Given a function ƒ of a real variable x and an interval [a, b] of the real line, the definite integral
Let's work out a simple example on this.
Question:-
solve ∫ ( x / √x2-9 )
Answer:-
Integration is an important concept together with differentiation, forms one of the main operations in calculus help
Given a function ƒ of a real variable x and an interval [a, b] of the real line, the definite integral
Let's work out a simple example on this.
Question:-
solve ∫ ( x / √x2-9 )
Answer:-
We do it by substitution method. Let u = x2-9
du
---- = 2x
dx
du
or ---- = xdx
2
substituting these values ,the integral becomes
∫ (du/2) / √u
= 1/2 ∫ (u)-1/2 du
(u)-1/2 + 1
= 1/2 ---------------
-1/2 + 1
by equalizing the denominators
-1+2
------- = 1/2
2
So the integral becomes
(u)1/2
= 1/2 --------------- + c
1/2
= (x2-9)1/2+C (as u =x2-9)
= √( x2-9 ) +c is the Answer
