Definite integration of Trigonometric Functions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the definite integration of the function (3x) / (4 - 3x)^(1/2) over the interval [0,1]. The user attempted a substitution method by letting 4 - 3x = t but consistently arrived at an incorrect answer, differing from the book's solution of 10/9. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper substitution techniques in solving definite integrals involving trigonometric functions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of definite integrals

Homework Statement



[0,1]∫(3x)dx/(4-3x)^1/2 (3xdx divided by square root of 4-3x)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I could not get the bookish answer of that...actually my answer was wholly different...
i let 4-3x (without square root) = t and then use substitution but every time the answer was different from 10/9

Can you show your work in detail? The answer in the book is correct.
