Please help me calculate these integrals.
Suppose that ∫f(t)dt=11 [0,1]. Calculate each of the following.
A. ∫f(4t)dt [0,0.25] =

B. ∫f(1−4t)dt [0,0.25] =

C. ∫f(3−8t)dt [0.25,0.375] =

I did the first one and I believe is right and I try to do the 2nd and 3rd one similarily and can't get them .:rolleyes:
u=4t
du=4dt, or
dt=(1/4)du
∫f(4t)dt [0,0.25]
=∫f(u)(1/4)du [0,4*0.25]
=(1/4)∫f(u)du [0,1]
=(1/4)*11
=11/4

The second one is almost exactly the same. What substitution would you try??
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
