SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving integrals based on given values: ∫(2-5) f(x)dx = 5 and ∫(4-5) f(x)dx = ∏. The solutions for the integrals are determined as follows: (a) ∫(5-5) f(x)dx = 0, (b) ∫(5-4) f(x)dx = ∏, and (c) ∫(2-4) f(x)dx = 5 - ∏. The process involves recognizing the properties of definite integrals, including the effects of changing limits and linear combinations of integrals.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of definite integrals and their properties
  • Familiarity with the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
  • Knowledge of linear combinations of functions
  • Ability to manipulate limits of integration
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
  • Study properties of definite integrals, including limit changes
  • Learn about linear combinations of integrals
  • Practice solving integrals with varying limits and functions
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for calculus exams, educators teaching integral calculus, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of definite integrals and their applications.

given
∫(2-5) f(x)dx=5 and ∫(4-5) f(x)dx=∏ , find


a)
∫(5-5) f(x)dx =

b)
∫(5-4) f(x)dx =

c)
∫(2-4 f(x)dx =


Im going over old tests of mine to get ready for my final, and I can't find anywhere in my notes how I solved this, I originally got (a. 0 b. ∏ c. 5-∏). Can someone just explain the process of how to solve this. I understand b) by changing the sign and swapping the limits equals one of the given integrals, I just can't understand how I got A and C?

Thanks and Hi everyone

Well, I think (a) should be rather obvious... Take another look. =P

As for (c), it is just a linear combination of the first two integrals you were given. See if you can figure out in what way you can add/subtract the integrals to get (c).

Also, are there given limits of integration? You haven't listed them here, and without them it's not obvious that you need to swap them to get the result for (b) - without the limits of integration the answer could just as well be ##-\pi##.

lol yep a was that easy, its kinda of sad I needed someone to say look again and don't be in idiot about it. Thanks for that

b) That was a typo on my behalf, I had -∏ down

c) ∫(2-5) - ∫(4-5)
