The integral of a sum |
2016-03-10 |
|
From Rahul:
How to solve definite integral of a sum. The specific problem is as follows,
Integral of ( 1+ sum of x^k, k=1 to k=n), x=0 to x=b *dx.
The answer is b + sum of b^(k)/k, k=2, to k=n+1. I understand only the integral
of first term. But integral of the sum I do not understand at all.

A sundial on an elliptical cylinder |
2009-07-22 |
|
From Leo:
I want to build a sundial where the shadow falls on an elliptical cylinder. I can
calculate the coordinates of the points on the cylinder that I want to mark.
My problem is that I will have to make the surface as a flat sheet and bend it
into an elliptical shape. However, I cannot work out a scheme to transfer
the coordinates I know into a distance that will work when I bend the shape.

Calculus:

I don't understand how to solve definite integrals when the function has something more than just x inside the parenthesis such as f(4-x).

Antiderivative of 1/(x(1 - x)) |
2008-10-22 |
|
From Matt:
derivative of dx/(x(1-x))
From what I've seen I should break apart the equation as such
derivative of dx/x - dx/(1-x)
and then get the 2 corresponding log functions.
If that is correct why does this factoring work, if that is incorrect what is the proper way to find the derivative.

Comparing an integral and a sum |
2000-11-21 |
|
From Douglas Norberg:
A fellow teacher asked me about a problem she wanted to give to her students. It involved whether to take a million dollars or a penny doubled a number of times. I was able to determine the number must have been .01 * 230 which is about $10 million and a lot more than $1 million. To check that I was right I used a spreadsheet and did a Riemann sum. When I finished I reasoned that I had done the task in several steps and I could have done it in 1 step. Thus I integrated .01 * 2x from 0 through 30 but the number I got was $15,490,820.0324. Why the difference?
