Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the area under curves, specifically involving integrals and the use of π in the results. Participants are attempting to understand how to express their answers in terms of π rather than numerical approximations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are sharing their attempts to solve the problem, discussing the use of calculators versus manual calculations, and questioning how to handle π in their answers. There are also inquiries about specific values at given points and how to express results correctly.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided encouragement and guidance, suggesting that the problem may not be as difficult as initially thought. There is a recognition of the need to express answers in terms of π, and some participants are exploring how to derive these results without relying on calculators.

Contextual Notes

There appears to be a focus on understanding the integration process and the significance of expressing answers in terms of π, which may be a requirement of the homework assignment. Participants are also navigating the challenge of interpreting the problem correctly.

welcome to pf!

hi don! welcome to pf! :smile:

(have a pi: π and an integral: ∫ and try using the X2 and X2 icons just above the Reply box :wink:)

that looks ok to me

now put in the values at x = π/2 and 3π/2 …

what do you get? :smile:
 
Hi Tim,

Look, if i do it with the calculator the answer = 8 unit2
but the question askes me for the answer with the pi

for example: = 3pi

and so on


could you wxplai to me please
 
hi don! :smile:
patient to doctor: it hurts when i do that :redface:

doctor to patient: then don't do that! :biggrin:

… if i do it with the calculator …

then don't do it with the calculator! :rolleyes:

just do it yourself

5[x/2 + sin(2x)/4]π/23π/2

you'll obviously get a multiple of π from the first bit, won't you? :smile:
 
hi Tim,

i know about not using the cal., but unlikely:frown:, i don't know how to deal with the pi in such situation. got it?!


i hope if you could explain this point to me:redface:
 
what's the difficulty? :confused:

[x/2]π/23π/2

is the value of x/2 when x = 3π/2 minus etc …

what did you make it?​
 
Hi Tim,

thank you for your help and encouraging

lt was a average question but i didn't notice that it was easy

now I knew it

the answer is = 5pi/2


thank for your help

i wish you all the best
