Solve Integral: 50 + 14sin(πt/12) | 0 to 12

[ziddy83]

integrals, oh yeah...

hey what's up,
Ok so...i am having a little bit of a problem on solving the following integral...

\int_{0}^{12} 50 + 14 sin\frac{\pi t}{12} dt

would i use...trig substitution or by parts?... yeah...i need some help..thanks.

No,need for part integration,a simple,obvious substitution would do it.Pay attention to the change of limits (of integration).

wait maybe i don't see it...would i let u= sin pi t/12? and then get du...?

 

[Jameson]

The \int (a + b) = \int a + \int b

So the only thing that seems tricky is the second part.

Let u = \frac{\pi{t}}{12} , du = \frac{\pi}{12}

Set \frac{\pi}{12} = 14dx and put the new integral in the form of

C*\int sin(u)du

You don't need any substitution. You have the following:

The second part is:

14 \int \sin (kt) dt

where k=\frac{\pi}{12}

The anti-derivative of sin kt is \frac{-\cos kt}{k}

 

[Jameson]

Or you could do it like that. Good point.

great...thanks a lot guys...i got the right answer for the problem. i just used the substitution of u = \frac{\pi{t}}{12} and brought out all of the constants. Thanks again.
