    Integrate the following equations using U-Substitution

    Homework Statement Integrate √(x2(x+3)) from -3 to 0. 0 ∫√(x2(x+3)) dx -32. The attempt at a solution Here is what I did: √(x2(x+3)) = x√(x+3) Let u=x+3, du=dx, x=u-3 Insert the bounds and change the bounds to: 0 to 3. x√(x+3)= (u-3)√(u) = u3/2-3u1/2 Thus we have: 3 ∫(u3/2-3u1/2) du 0...

    Integrate this equation by parts

    Homework Statement Integrate ettdt using integration by parts.2. The attempt at a solution Seems like a very easy problem; however, I just started learning integration by parts-- didn't understand this. So the book's method: u=t...

    Difference between weight and mass?

    Okay so I was going through my calculus textbook and I am stumbled on the WORK section. Here it says work=force*distance, and force=mass*acceleration. In a problem they use gravity for acceleration which I guess you can do. So they have: F=mass*gravity So to calculate the...

    Why take the integral of this instead of just plugging in the number?

    Nah lol the question was in the U-Substitution section of my book so I figured it wouldn't be that easy just to plug in a number.

    I'm not quite understanding the formation of the radius

    Homework Statement Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume generated by rotating the region bounded by the curves about the specified axis. y=x^4, y=0, x=1; about x=2 2. The attempt at a solution I know how to do the problem, except how to find the radius. Like I know...

    Why take the integral of this instead of just plugging in the number?

    Homework Statement An oil storage tank ruptures at time t = 0 and oil leaks from the tank at a rate of r(t) = 100 e^(-0.01t) liters per minute. How much oil leaks out during the first hour? Homework Equations r(t) = 100 e^(-0.01t) The Attempt at a Solution Eh, I already got the answer, I...

    Integrate 0 to a: xsqrt(x^2+a^2)dx

    Homework Statement http://i50.tinypic.com/zxw6qr.png a>0 a ∫ x√(x^2+a^2)dx (a>0) 02. The attempt at a solution u=x^2+a^2 du=2xdx I looked it up online and I saw you needed to use trig. How do you use trig for this problem? Note: I have not learned integration by parts, just u-sub.
