If someone could please help me with this question, I'm not sure where I've gone wrong.
I have the following definite integral
∫90√(2x−6)2+(2x−6)2dx
∫90√2(2x−6)2dx
∫90√2(2x−6)dx
√2∫90(2x−6)dx
So after integrating, I obtain the following: (I checked this with online integral calculators as well)
√2(x2−6x)
So if I am evaluating this integral from 0 to 9, would my answer not be 27√2
I don't know why the answer is
45√2
Anyone know where I went wrong?
Answer
Don't forget the absolute value.
√2∫90|2x−6|dx=√2(∫30(6−2x)dx+∫93(2x−6)dx)
which is equal to √2(6x−x2|30+x2−6x|93)=45√2
