Q & A
  • What is the integral of 1 over x times the natural logarithm of x with respect to x?

    -The integral of 1/(x * ln(x)) dx is found by substitution, where u = ln(x), resulting in du = (1/x) dx. The integral then becomes ∫(1/u) du, which is ln(|u|) + C. Substituting back, we get ln(|ln(x)|) + C.

  • How do you solve the differential equation dy/dx = x^2/y^4 with the initial condition y(3) = 0?

    -By separating variables, we get y^4 dy = x^2 dx. Integrating both sides gives y^5/5 = x^3/3 + C. Using the initial condition y(3) = 0, we find C = -9. Thus, the solution is y^5/5 = x^3/3 - 9.

  • What is the integral of 8/(1 + x^2) dx?

    -Since 8 is a constant, we can pull it out of the integral. The integral of 1/(1 + x^2) dx is the inverse tangent of x, so the final result is 8 * arctan(x) + C.

  • What is the integral of 1/√(1 - x^2) dx?

    -The integral of 1/√(1 - x^2) dx is the inverse sine of x, which is written as sin^(-1)(x) + C.

  • How do you find the particular solution to the differential equation dy/dx = xy + 3y given y(0) = 5?

    -By separating variables, we get dy/y = (x + 3) dx. Integrating both sides gives ln(|y|) = (x^2/2) + 3x + C. Exponentiating both sides and using the initial condition y(0) = 5, we find k = 5. Thus, the solution is y = 5e^(x^2/2 + 3x).

  • How do you evaluate the integral from 0 to 3 of g'(f(x)) * f'(x) dx using the given table of values?

    -By recognizing that g'(f(x)) * f'(x) is the derivative of g(f(x)) by the chain rule, we can apply the fundamental theorem of calculus to find g(f(3)) - g(f(0)) using the table values, which results in g(1) - g(2) = -5 - (-2) = -3.

  • What is the equation for the line tangent to the solution curve of dy/dx = y + 1/x at the point (-2, 0)?

    -The slope of the tangent line at (-2, 0) is the derivative at that point, which is -1/2. Using point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line is y = -1/2 * x + 1.

  • How do you approximate f(-1.5) using the tangent line equation for the differential equation dy/dx = y + 1/x?

    -By substituting x = -1.5 into the tangent line equation y = -1/2 * x + 1, we get f(-1.5) ≈ -1/2 * (-1.5) + 1 = 0.75 + 1 = 1.75.

  • What is the particular solution to the differential equation dy/dx = y + 1/x with the initial condition f(-2) = 0?

    -Separating variables, we get dy/(y + 1) = dx/x. Integrating both sides gives ln(|y + 1|) = ln(|x|) + C. Using the initial condition f(-2) = 0, we find d = -1/2. Thus, the solution is y + 1 = -1/2 * x, or y = -1/2 * x - 1.

  • What are the common integrals of inverse trigonometric functions that should be known?

    -Some common integrals of inverse trigonometric functions are: ∫(1/√(1 - x^2)) dx = sin^(-1)(x) + C, ∫(1/(1 + x^2)) dx = arctan(x) + C, and ∫(1/(√(x^2 - 1))) dx = sec^(-1)(x) + C.

  • How do you find the constant of integration, C, in the solution to a differential equation?

    -To find the constant of integration, C, you typically use an initial condition or boundary condition provided with the differential equation. By substituting the given values into the solution, you can solve for C algebraically.

📚 Integral Calculations and Differential Equations

This paragraph covers a range of mathematical topics including integral calculus and differential equations. It begins with the integration of 1/(xlnx) using substitution, where u is set to ln(x), leading to the result ln(|ln(x)|) + C. The solution to the differential equation dy/dx = x^2/y^4 with y(3) = 0 is found using separation of variables, resulting in y^(5/5) = x^(3/3) + C, and then solving for y to get y as the fifth root of (5x^3/(3-9)). The integral of 8/(1+x^2) dx is evaluated as 8arctan(x) + C. Several standard integrals of inverse trigonometric functions are also listed. Lastly, a differential equation dy/dx = xy + 3y is solved using separation of variables, leading to y = ±e^(c)e^(x^2/2+3x), where c is determined using the initial condition y(0) = 5, resulting in y = 5e^(x^2/2+3x).

🔍 Evaluating Definite Integrals and Approximating Functions

The second paragraph involves evaluating a definite integral using both direct computation and substitution methods. The integral in question is ∫ from 0 to 3 of (g'(f(x)) * f'(x) dx), which is recognized as the chain rule derivative of g(f(x)). Using the fundamental theorem of calculus and given values from a table, the integral is computed as g(1) - g(2) = -5 - (-2) = -3. The paragraph also discusses approximating the value of a function at a given point using the tangent line to its graph. For the differential equation dy/dx = y + 1/x, with the initial condition y(-2) = 0, the tangent line at the point (-2, 0) is derived, and used to approximate y at x = -1.5, resulting in an approximate value of -1.5 for f(-1.5). Lastly, the particular solution to the differential equation dy/dx = y + 1/x with the same initial condition is found by separating variables and integrating, leading to y + 1/x = ±e^c, and using the initial condition to solve for c, which gives y = -1/2x - 1.

🧮 Solving Differential Equations with Initial Conditions

The final paragraph focuses on solving a specific differential equation dy/dx = y + 1/x with the initial condition y(-2) = 0. The solution process involves separating variables, integrating both sides, and applying the initial condition to find the constant of integration. The integral of dy/(y + 1) dx results in ln|y + 1| = ln|x| + C, which is then simplified using logarithmic properties to ln|(y + 1)/x| = C. Exponentiating both sides leads to (y + 1)/x = ±e^C, and with the given initial condition, the constant C (referred to as d in the text) is found to be -1/2. The particular solution is then expressed as y + 1 = -1/2x, which simplifies to y = -1/2x - 1.
