Chapter 4: Problem 78

Evaluate the definite integral. Use a graphing utility to verify your result. $$ \int_{1}^{5} \frac{x}{\sqrt{2 x-1}} d x $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The evaluated definite integral is \(4\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify Substitution Variable

First, a good candidate for substitution must be identified. In this case, we can select \(u = 2x - 1\). Note that the derivative of \(u\), \(du\), is \(2dx\).
02

Adjust the Differential

Next, solve for \(dx\) in terms of \(du\) and \(x\), so we get \(dx = \frac{1}{2}du\). This substitution adjusts the integral so we can handle the square root.
03

Change the Limits of Integration

When we change the variable of integration from \(x\) to \(u\), the limits of integration will change as well. Using \(u = 2x - 1\), evaluate the limits; when \(x = 1\), \(u = 1\), and when \(x = 5\), \(u = 9\). The new limits of integration are from \(1\) to \(9\).
04

Substitute Variable and Limits in the Integral

After substitution, the new integral is \(\int_{1}^{9} \frac{1}{2}u^{-\frac{1}{2}} du\).
05

Integrate

Now, solve the integral. We first add 1 to the exponent to get \(u^{1/2}\). Then flip that exponent to get \(2u^{1/2}\). Finally, apply the limits of integration from 1 to 9. The result is \(2(\sqrt{9}-\sqrt{1}) = 2(3 - 1) = 4\).
06

Verification with a Graphing Utility

Use a mathematical graphing tool such as Desmos or Geogebra, plot the function \(f(x) = \frac{x}{\sqrt{2x - 1}}\) and calculate the definite integral from 1 to 5. The graphing software should confirm the result as \(4\).

Find any relative extrema of the function. Use a graphing utility to confirm your result. \(f(x)=x \sinh (x-1)-\cosh (x-1)\)

Evaluate the integral. \(\int_{0}^{1} \cosh ^{2} x d x\)

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. If \(f\) is continuous on \([a, b]\), then \(f\) is integrable on \([a, b]\).

Verify each rule by differentiating. Let \(a>0\). $$ \int \frac{d u}{u \sqrt{u^{2}-a^{2}}}=\frac{1}{a} \operatorname{arcsec} \frac{|u|}{a}+C $$

Linear and Quadratic Approximations In Exercises 33 and 34 use a computer algebra system to find the linear approximation \(P_{1}(x)=f(a)+f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)\) and the quadratic approximation \(P_{2}(x)=f(a)+f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)+\frac{1}{2} f^{\prime \prime}(a)(x-a)^{2}\) of the function \(f\) at \(x=a\). Use a graphing utility to graph the function and its linear and quadratic approximations. \(f(x)=\tanh x, \quad a=0\)
