need help with my calc problem?

When I have problems with an indefinite integral I use some of my symbolic software to get straight to answer or a "Table of Integrals".  And then I focus on how to get to that particular answer, whether it is through substitution, changing it to a double integral in polar coordinates, etc.\n\nA "free" online integrator program that is offered by Wolfram (maker of Mathematica) is located at\n\nhttp://integrals.wolfram.com/\n\nType your particular problem as\n \nArcTan[1/x] \n\nand it will give you an answer that is solved symbolically for an "indefinite" integral which is\n\nx(arctan(1/x)) + (1/2)(log((x^2) + 1))\n\nHowever to be honest with you it was a few years back when I saw this particular integral, and I honestly don't remember the process.  I think it was a definite integral though.

UGH!!!  Thx for the effort (I was the one to post that question, as a part of a solution to another problem I found here on Yahoo! Answers.)  Incidentally, I made a mistake when simplifying the other problem and it should be xln(2)-2ln(x)-ln(86400) = 0\n\nI don't know any way to get rid of the ln(x) unless maybe it's using calculus techniques?  I'm just glad this problem is making other ppl trouble about it as much as I did :-).

x = 3. Try entering it on your calculator.

this has happened to me before on my 89. it's usually when the expression is too complicated--that is, it would take the calculator more memory than it has to solve it. so i'd recommend trying to first simplify the expression and then enter it. For instance, don't leave things in terms like sin(2) when you can just get an approximate number for that. maybe that's it?

Please see the answer above and find out the missing factor in your calculation. You are in the right track. All the best!

To help solve for t you'll need to use the quadratic formula. It's too difficult to show how I got the answer since I can't use the correct symbols, but the answer is t = 1.39.

Ok, first you must get the -8 and the x/-2 out of parentheses, so u just multiply them both by one. So then is -8 * x / -2. First, you do -8 * x, which is -8x. The problem then becomes -8x / 2. In this step, just don't mind the negative or the x and just put them back in at the end. So you're really just doing 8 / 2, which is 4. You must put the - and the x back in, so the answer is -4x. Ta Da!

Use a calculator and raise it to the 1/3 power.\nDon't try to do it by hand...

int((x-2)*(x-5)^(1/2)*dx)\n\nUse u sub, let:\nu=x-5\ndu=dx\nx-2=u+3\n\nResub:\n\nint((u+3)*sqrt(u)*du)\n\nDistribute:\n\nint((u^3/2 + 3sqrt(u)*du))\n\nIntegrate:\n\n0.4*u^(5/2) + 2*u^(3/2) + c\n\nResub u for x:\n\n0.4*(x-5)^(5/2) + 2*(x-5)^(3/2) + C

I just plugged this into my calculator.\n\n[1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0 | 0\n0, 1, -3, 0, -2, 0 | 0\n0, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0 | 0\n0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 | 0\n0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 | 1 ]\n\nTake it however you want.

this is actually very complicated and I had never thought about it before. everyone always just uses their calculator. see this website for several methods of doing it manually.

Use analytical trig (hint: sin function).  That should give you the answer you are looking for.
