The discussion revolves around calculating the vector integral $\vec{V_2}$, with participants verifying their integration steps. The initial calculations led to an incorrect result, prompting a review of the integration process for each component. Key errors identified include not properly subtracting limits during integration and misapplying integration and differentiation principles. After corrections, the correct result was confirmed as $\vec{V_2} = 8\textbf{i} - 63\textbf{j} + \frac{63}{10}\textbf{k}$. The conversation also touches on formatting issues related to vector notation in the forum.

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
\vec{V_2}
&=\int_0^3 \left[\left(
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}\right){I}-\left(7t^2 \right){j}
+\left(\frac{14t}{\left(1+t^2 \right)^2}\right){k}\right] dt \\
&=\left[\int_0^3
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}
dt \right] {I}
-\left[\int_0^3 7t^2 dt\right] {j}
+\left[
\int_0^3\frac{14t}{\left(1+t^2 \right)^2}\, dt
\right]{k}
\end{align*}

Just seeing if going in the right direction

What is the actual question you are trying to solve?

&=8\sqrt{t+1}\Biggr|_0^3i-14t\Biggr|_0^3j-\dfrac{7}{t^2+1} \Biggr|_0^3k\\
&=16i-52j-\frac{7}{10}k
\end{align*}

ok I made ? somewhere because the answer is supposed to be
$$8i-63j+\frac{63}{10}k$$

First integral: [math]8 ~ \sqrt{ t + 1}[/math] over the limits is [math]8\sqrt{4} - 8 \sqrt{1}[/math]. You didn't subtract the last term.

Second integral: You didn't integrate, you took a derivative!

Third integral: You did the same thing as the first. Remember to subtract!

Don't you just hate that the editor automatically changes you "i" to "I"?
(I had to go back and correct that first "i".)

i don't get any auto-capping of a single i in my posts...
 
Re: 13.2.2 vector integral

$\textsf{Evaluate the Integral:}$
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
\vec{V_2}
&=\int_0^3 \left[\left[
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}\right]\textbf{i}-\left[7t^2 \right]\textbf{j}
+\left[\frac{14t}{\left[1+t^2 \right]^2}\right]\textbf{k}\right] dt \\
&=\left[\int_0^3
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}dt \right] \textbf{i}
-7\left[\int_0^3 t^2 dt\right] \textbf{j}
+14\left[\int_0^3\frac{t}{\left[1+t^2 \right]^2}\, dt \right]\textbf{k}\\
&=8[\sqrt{t+1}]
\Biggr|_0^3\textbf{i}
-7\left[\frac{t^3}{3}\right]
\Biggr|_0^3\textbf{j}
-14\left[\frac{1}{2\left[t^2+1\right]}\right]
\Biggr|_0^3\textbf{k}\\
&=[16-8]\textbf{i}-[7][9]\textbf{j}+7\left[\frac{9}{10}\right]\textbf{k}\\
&=8\textbf{i}-63\textbf{j}+\frac{63}{10}\textbf{k}
\end{align*}

OK hosed off the errors
hopefully

why isn't "\vec{}" on the select menu.

or was the vector crowd considered outcasts?

Under the "Geometry" section you can find the vector choices:

Re: 13.2.2 vector integral

$\displaystyle \int\sqrt{4x^2+1}\ dx$
$u=2x\therefore\frac{1}{2}du=dx $
$a=1$
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \int\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\ du$
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{u}{2}\sqrt{u^2+a^2} +
\frac{a^2}{2}\ln\left| u+\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\right| \right]$
then back plug $u$ and $a$

sorry thot this was a new post
but is this correct?
