What is the integration rule for a constant y^2?

AI Thread Summary
The integration of a constant like y^2 can be approached using basic integration rules. Since y is treated as a constant, the integration simplifies significantly. A suggested substitution is u = x^2 + y^2 to facilitate the process. The discussion emphasizes the importance of practice in mastering integration techniques. Overall, understanding the treatment of constants is key to solving such integration problems effectively.

Hi,

Please help me on this. I do not how to start on this integration, so i simply apply basic integration rule. Usually, there is a formulas sheet for me to convert this alike question to trigo form(after integrate) but this one seem different.

Use the substitution u=x^2+y^2.

sorry there is an edit.
 


It was already clear that y is a constant. Post 2 still holds.

I think i got it. Thanks for the hint. I guess I really need more practice.

Correct.
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
