Why don't I have to put the +C after my answer for a definite integral?

When you evaluate a definite integral, we can think about using the "+C" and see what happens. Let's take (INT)2x dx between 2 and 3. We then have [x 2 +C] between 2 and 3. For x=3 we have 9+C, and...

Integrate 1 / x(2sqrt(x)-1) on [1,9] using x = u^2 (u > 0).

Differentiate x = u 2 to get dx = 2u du. We need to change the limits, too: 1 <= x <= 9 <==> 1 <= u 2 <= 9 <==> 1 <= u <= 3 (since we are given u > 0). Now we can substitute ...

Show that, for all a, b and c, a^log_b (c) = c^log_b (a).

We want to prove: a log b (c) = c log b (a) . Recall that we can always write x = e ln(x) , so x y = (e ln(x) ) y = e y ln(x) . Recall also the change of basis formula for logs: log b (x) = y <=> b y =...
