    MHB Integrate 3/(x(2-sqrt(x))) - No Partial Fractions

    $u = \sqrt{x} \implies du = \dfrac{dx}{2\sqrt{x}}$ $\displaystyle 3 \int \dfrac{dx}{x(2-\sqrt{x})} = 2 \cdot 3\int \dfrac{dx}{2\sqrt{x}(2\sqrt{x} - x)}$ substitute ... $\displaystyle 6\int \dfrac{du}{2u - u^2} = -6 \int \dfrac{du}{(u^2 - 2u + 1) - 1} = -6 \int \dfrac{du}{(u-1)^2 - 1}$ since...

    MHB Mechanics- connected particles

    $M$ = 8kg, $m$ = 5kg, $T$ is the tension force in the string $Mg - T = Ma$ $T - mg = ma$ Solve the system of equations for $a$, the magnitude of the acceleration for both masses. Once you find that acceleration, you can find the upward velocity of the smaller mass when the larger one hits the...

    MHB Tricks for Saving Money on Groceries

    no ... you found the derivative, not the antiderivative. $\displaystyle \int \dfrac{3}{2}x^2 + 5x + C \, dx = \dfrac{x^3}{2} + \dfrac{5}{2}x^2 + Cx + K$
