To find the 't' value in the integral \(\int_0^t dx = M\), the anti-derivative of the constant function 1 is simply \(t\), leading to the conclusion that \(t = M\). For the integral \(\int_0^t x dx = M\), the anti-derivative is \(\frac{t^2}{2}\), which can be set equal to \(M\) to solve for \(t\). This requires knowing the specific function being integrated, as the relationship between \(t\) and \(M\) depends on it. In summary, the method involves integrating the function, setting the result equal to \(M\), and solving for \(t\). Understanding the anti-derivative is crucial to finding the correct value of \(t\).

hello
commonly we have:
\int^t_0 \ dx=M

"M" is a specific number (the result of integal)

my question:
having value of "M", how we can find the "t" value

This sounds much like homework to me. >"<

What have you done? Have you tried anything?

Ok, I'll give you some hints then:

1. What is the anti-derivative of: \int dx = ?

2. What is : \int_0 ^ t dx = ? in terms of t?

3. What is the relation between t, and M?

In case this isn't homework and is a question from curiosity: In general, there is a function being integrated; \int^t_0 f(x) dx=M. In which case, the answer to your question is "only if we know the function, f."
 
i know the function f(x)
suppose that f(x) is x

\int^t_0 x dx=M
 
What IS the integral (anti-derivative) of x? Do the integration on the left, set it equal to M and solve the equation for t.

In the very simple case, you started with, \int_0^t dx, the anti-derivative of the constant 1 is just x
\int_0^t dx= x\right|_0^t= t[/itex]<br /> In that case, whatever number M is, you have t= M. For the case of <br /> \int_0^t x dx= M<br /> it is almost as simple.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
