These have built up over the week and im wondering u have can answer them for me please


1) S(b=5, a=1) xdx/(sqrt(3x+1) using u^2=3x + 1


2) S(b=1, a=0) dx/[x^1/4(1+x^3/4] using u=1 + x^3/4


3) S(b=2, a=0) dx/[(5-2x)^2] using u=5 - 2x

4) Using u = 3x01, find the area bounded by the graph of f(x) = ^3sqrt(3x - 1), the x axis and the ordinates x=2/3, x=3. find the volume when this area is rotated about the x axis to form a solid of revolution.

5) S (b= pi, a=0) (2sin(x)Cos^2(x) dx

6) S(b=4, a =0) x*sqrt(16-x^2) using x=4sinY

thanx

Question 1.
u = (3x+1)^1/2; x=(u²-1)/3
du/dx=3/[2(3x+1)]
2du/3 = dx/sqrt(3x+1)
Therefore
S(b=5, a=1) xdx/(sqrt(3x+1) equals [when x=5, u=4; when x=1, u=2]
S(b=4, a=2) 2/9*(u²-1)du

∫(b=5, a=1) xdx/(sqrt(3x+1) using u^2=3x + 1

x=(1/3)u<sup>2</sup> - 1/3
dx= (2/3)u.du


and u = &radic;(3x +1) so when x=1 --> u=2 and when x=5 --> u=4 making the integral:

&int;(b=4, a=2) [(1/3)u<sup>2</sup> - 1/3](2/3)u.du/u

= &int;(b=4, a=2) (2/9)u<sup>2</sup> - 2/9 du

= [ (2/27)u<sup>3</sup> - (2/9)u] between 2 & 4

= 8 8/27

3) &int;(b=2, a=0) dx/[(5-2x)^2] using u=5 - 2x

du = -2dx and when x=0 --> u=5 and when x=2 --> u=1

makign it:

-1/2&int;(b=1, a=5) u<sup>-2</sup> du

= -1/2[-u<sup>-1</sup>] (between 5 and 1) = -2/5 or somethign

Sorry for the funny order, I don't like linearity :p

2) &int;(b=1, a=0) dx/[x^1/4(1+x^3/4] using u=1 + x^3/4

du = (3/4)x<sup>-1/4</sup>dx and when x=0 --> u=1 when x=1 --> u=2

4/3 &int;(b=1, a=0) 3dx/[4x^1/4(1+x^3/4]

= 4/3 &int;(b=2, a=1) u<sup>-1</sup> du

= 4/3 ln(2)

--->f(x) = ^3sqrt(3x - 1)

is that cube root? or should it be x^3?

Ok, cool. Well what you're doing is summing 2-d circular segments around the x-axis instead of 1-d strips. The radius of each circular segment is of course your y value which gives us &pi;&int;y<sup>2</sup>dy

and the integral is (between 2/3 and 3)

&pi;&int;(3x-1)<sup>2/3</sup>dx ..... you don't really need a substitution here (the rule you use for &int;(ax +b)<sup>n</sup> automates the process) but if you're going to do it manually then:

u = 3x-1 so du = 3dx

&pi;/3.&int;u<sup>2/3</sup>du

= &pi;/3[3u<sup>5/3</sup>/5]
= &pi;/3[3(3x-1)<sup>5/3</sup>/5] between 2/3 and 3
= 93&pi;/15 = 31&pi;/5 ? [sorry, I'm not in a good calculating mood today]

but as you can see it's the same deal as &int;(ax +b)<sup>n</sup> = (ax +b)<sup>n+1</sup>/a(n+1)

6) S(b=4, a =0) x*sqrt(16-x^2) using x=4sinY
between (0-->4) &int; x&radic;(16-x<sup>2</sup>) dx where x=4sin&theta;

dx = 4cos&theta;d&theta; when x=0 then &theta;=0 and when x=4 then &theta;= &pi;/2
so the integral is between (0-->&pi;/2)
= &int; 4sin&theta;&radic;(16-16sin<sup>2</sup>&theta; )4cos&theta;d&theta;
= &int; 16sin&theta;cos&theta;4&radic;(1-sin<sup>2</sup>&theta; )d&theta;
= &int; 64sin&theta;cos<sup>3</sup>&theta;d&theta;

then you do a quick substitution of u=cos&theta; du=-sin&theta;d&theta;
yielding:

-64[(1/4)cos<sup>4</sup>&theta;] between 0 and &pi;/2
= 16

Maybe there's a quicker way to do this?
