  • solve the integral.............?

    integral of 1/2 (1+sin(6x))^2 dx

    i got 1/2 integral of 1 + 2 sin(6x) + sin(6x)^2

    i know 1 will be x .. and 2 sin (6x) will be - cos(6x) / 3 .. but i dont know what will be for sin(6x)^2

    answer will be 1/2 (x - cos(6x)/3 + ???)

    please explain thanks in advance

  • Integration.. trig substitution......?

    http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1886/81097140.png

    i let x = tan(theta)

    dx = sec(theta)^2 d(theta)

    when x = 0 .. tan(theta) = 0 and theta = 0

    when x = 1/2 .. tan(theta) = 1/2 and theta = ?

    i m stuck from this point onward .. can anyone explain this problem to me

    am not sure about substitution either.. whether it is x = tan(theta) or tan(2*theta)

    please advise me on this thanks in advance

  • Slope of tangent line to the polar coordinates?

    r = 1 / theta ; got to find when theta = pi

    heres what i did ..

    [(-theta)^-2 sin(theta) + theta^-1 cos(theta)] / [(-theta)^-2 cos(theta) - theta^-1 sin(theta)]

    = (theta^-1 sin(theta) + cos(theta)) / (theta^-1cos(theta) - sin(theta))

    = (1/pi sin(pi) + cos(pi)) / (1/pi cos(pi) - sin(pi))

    = -1 / (-1/pi) = pi

    is it correct? if not can u explain what i did wrong

    thanks

  • What did i do wrong here ? (improper integral)?

    so i have to tell whether this is convergent or divergent

    http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2289/27795158.p...

    it's - infi on bottom and 2 on top of integral

    so heres what i did...

    limit as t approaches - infinity of integral t (bottom) to 2 (top) of (x e^(x/7) dx )

    then i let u = x so du = dx and dV = e^(x/7) so V = 7e^(x/7)

    now it becomes... after du / dv

    = limit as t approaches - infinity [ x * 7 e^(x/7) ] t (bottom) to 2 (top) + integral t (bottom) to 2 (top) of (7 e^(x/7) dx )

    = limit as t approaches - infinity [14 e^(2/7) - 7t e^(t/7)] + 7 [7 e^(x/7) ] t (bottom) to 2 (top)

    = limit as t approaches - infinity [14 e^(2/7) - 7t e^(t/7)] + 7 [7 e^(2/7) - 7 e^(t/7) ]

    = infinity

    so its divergent

    something is wrong but i m not able to figure it out .. can anyone help please

    thanks

  • Find the limit...............?

    limit as x approaches infinity ( ln (1/x) * e^(-x) )

    I ended up with 0 / infinity which is 0 but am not sure if it's correct

    can anyone solve it?

  • Find the limit.......?

    lim as x approaches to infinity ( 1 + (1 / x)) ^ x

    i got ..

    e ^ lim as x approaches to infinity ln ( 1 + (1/x)) / 1/x

    e ^ lim as x approaches to infinity x / (x + 1) am not sure if this is correct or not

  • Statistics probability problem......?

    A company that manufactures video cameras produces a basic model and a deluxe model. Over the past year, 45% of the cameras sold have been the basic model. Of those buying the basic model, 25% purchase an extended warranty, whereas 40% of all purchasers of the deluxe model buy an extended warranty. If you learn that a randomly selected purchaser bought an extended warranty, what is the probability that he or she has a basic model?

    please explain
