Any help will be appreciated...assuming a pretty easy integral...

∫f(t) dt = 9 [0, 1]

Find:

∫f(10t)dt [0, 0.1]
∫f(1 - 10t)dt [0, 0.1]

Any idea on how to get started with this one?

Change variables with a u-substitution. For the first one try u=10t. What is du?
 


10dt!

Ok, so change the t integral to a u integral.
 


1/10∫f(u)du ?

Looks good so far. And what are the u limits? The t limits were [0,0.1].
 


From 0 to 0.1.

Does ∫f(u)du = 9?

It won't be 9, if the u limits are 0 to 0.1. But they aren't. If t=0.1, what's the corresponding u?
