Evaluate the following integrals. $$\int_{-5}^{0} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{4-x}}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
Question: Evaluate the integral: \(\int_{-5}^{0} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{4-x}}\) Answer: The value of the definite integral is 2.

Step by step solution

01

Select a substitution

Let's make a substitution which simplifies the given expression. Let \(u = 4 - x\). Now we need to find the derivative of \(u\) with respect to \(x\). \(\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(4 - x)=-1\)
02

Replace \(dx\)

We need to express \(dx\) in terms of \(du\). To do that, we have: \(dx = -du\) Now let's substitute \(u\) and \(-du\) for \(4-x\) and \(dx\) respectively: $$\int_{-5}^{0} \frac{-du}{\sqrt{u}}$$
03

Change integration limits

To make the substitution complete, we need to change the integration limits as well. Since \(u = 4 - x\), for \(x = -5\), the lower limit, we have \(u = 4 - (-5) = 9\) and for \(x = 0\), the upper limit we have \(u = 4 - 0 = 4\) The integral now becomes: $$\int_{9}^{4} \frac{-du}{\sqrt{u}}$$
04

Evaluate the integral

This integral is simpler to compute, as it is a basic power function. We can rewrite the integral as: $$-\int_{9}^{4} u^{-\frac{1}{2}}du$$ Now, we can use the power rule for integration: $$-\left[u^{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}\right)\right]_9^4 = -2\left(u^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)_9^4$$ Applying the limits of integration, $$-2\left(\sqrt{4} - \sqrt{9}\right)$$
05

Simplify the result

Finally, we can simplify the expression to get the final result: $$-2(2-3) = -2(-1) = 2$$ So, the value of the definite integral is 2: $$\int_{-5}^{0} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{4-x}}=2$$

An open cylindrical tank initially filled with water drains through a hole in the bottom of the tank according to Torricelli's Law (see figure). If \(h(t)\) is the depth of water in the tank for \(t \geq 0,\) then Torricelli's Law implies \(h^{\prime}(t)=2 k \sqrt{h}\), where \(k\) is a constant that includes the acceleration due to gravity, the radius of the tank, and the radius of the drain. Assume that the initial depth of the water is \(h(0)=H\). a. Find the general solution of the equation. b. Find the solution in the case that \(k=0.1\) and \(H=0.5 \mathrm{m}\). c.
