Before we get into the questions, anybody know how to integrate a polynomial???? I tink we have to add 1 to the power and divide by the power. for example
find the integral of 2x^5.
If we add 1 to the power we wud get 6, and divide by the power which is 6, so we wud get 2/6x^6 + c. ENT????

yes coke baby your ethod is correct. Now Solve:

The velocity of a car is given by the equation v = 6t^2 + 4t + t.
Find the distance the car travels after a time, t= 4.

well for this question:
i think that yuh hav to integrate to find the area under the curve after the time = 4.
therefore: the integral answer wud be:
2t^3+ 2t^2 +(t^2/2) + c
and plug in t=4
= 128 + 32 + 8 = 168units

A particle moves along the x-axis with acceleration a = 2t - 3 m/s^2. At time t = 0, it is at the origin and moving with a speed of 4 m/s in the positive direction. Find formulas for its velocity v and position s, and determine where it changes direction and where it is moving to the left.

first integration is the total opposite of defrentiation, like (+) and (-). Hence when u defrentiate y=4x^2 and u get
:dy/dx = 8x,
and now if you integrate;dy/dx = 8x
you will get :y=4x^2.

MISS!! with respect ot your question, we have to keep in mind
v = ds/dt and a = dv/dt.
Therefore dv/dt = 2t - 3 m/s^2 so to get v we must integrate dv/dt.
we wud get v = t^2 - 3t + c. EVERYBODY KNOW HOW TO INTEGRATE RIGHT..SHOCKS I HAVE TO GO AND MEET A GIRL NOW. IL GET BACK TO U ALL LATER... i

hey hellion i think i wud give your quest. a try but correct me if i am wrong
well first of all i think you will have to substitute where t is put for and solve.

so it will be

6t^2 + 4t + t. where t=4
6(4)^2 + 4(4)+ 4

remeber your BODMAS rule befor you go any further
solve brackets first
so it will be 4*4whichwas really the 4 squared and this equals 16 then multiply this by 6 which gives 96 and add it to the other 4*4 = 16 and this also add it to the 4.

96+16+4=116 m

I think thats the distance he will cover


You will now end up with
64 +

intergration is just simply the opposte of differentiation

instead of multiplying by the power we divide
instead of decreasing the power by one we increase it by one

e.g

8x^3 + 23x + x^2 dx

8x^4/4 + 23x^2/2 + x^3/3

Sumbody!! tell me sumting!!! Find the area under the curve
y = x^3 that is between the lines x = 1 and x = 2.

HELLO!!!! ANYONE DERE?????

To do that question hellion you must first integrate the expression to find the integral of the expression since we are dealing in finding distance then subsitute t (4) into the expression.
