Using the substitution of u=6x+5 find the value of the area under the curve f(x)=(2x-3)(6x+%)^1/2 bounded between x=1 and x=1/2 to 4 decimal places.

dx=du/6 => (u-5)/6=x So the integral is now (2((u-5)/6)-3)(u^1/2) du/6 Which through simplifying becomes (1/36)(2u-28)(u^1/2)du = (1/36)(2u^3/2 -28u^1/2)du After integrating becomes (1/36)(4(u^5/2)/5 -...

Let $ denote the integral symbol, as I am limited here by my keyboard.

Recall the formula for integration by parts:

$ u.(dv/dx) dx = uv - $ u(dv/dx) dx

So to find $pi0...

A curve has the equation x^2+2y^2=3x, by differentiating implicitly find dy/dy in terms of x and y.

We shall differentiate each term in the equation with respect to x.

dy/dx (x2) = 2x

dy/dx (2y2) = 4y dy/dx

dy/dx (3x) = 3

So we now have the equation 2x +...
