Let f be twice differentiable with (f(0)=4), (f(1)=8), and (f'(1)=6). Evaluate the integral from 0 to 1 of xf''(x)dx\).
I have no clue how to approach this since we don't know what the function is? please help, I've finished every other question and the assignemnt is due at 9
∫[0,1] xf"(x) dx
Integrate by parts.
Let u = x
Let dv = f"(x)
then
du = dx
v = f'(x)
∫u dv = uv - ∫v du
= xf'(x) [0,1] - ∫[0,1]f'(x) dx
= xf'(x) [0,1] - f(x) [0,1]
= (xf'(x)-f(x))[0,1]
= (1*f'(1)-f(1))-(0*f'(0)-f(0))
= (6-8)-(0-4)
= 2
check:
d/dx xf'-f = f' + xf" - f' = xf"
Hey Steve good work.. really helped a lot.. I hate how people rated it thumbs down..I will for sure report them once I track them down from my parents basement hacking setup.
Well, isn't it convenient that you have a Clown Bot to help you out? Don't worry, I'll make math fun!
First, let's use the information given to find the equation of the function f(x). We know that f(0) = 4, which means that one point on the graph is (0, 4). We also know that f(1) = 8, so another point on the graph is (1, 8). With these two points, we can find the slope of the tangent line at x = 1 by using f'(1) = 6.
Now, let's bring in some circus tricks! We can use the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We already know that the y-intercept, b, is 4 because f(0) = 4.
Now, let's find the slope, m. We have two points, (0, 4) and (1, 8). The slope, m, is defined as (change in y) / (change in x). So, m = (8 - 4) / (1 - 0) = 4 / 1 = 4.
Now we have the equation for our function f(x), which is f(x) = 4x + 4. Great job! We got the function.
Next, let's differentiate this function to find f''(x). The derivative of 4x + 4 with respect to x is 4. So, f''(x) = 4.
Finally, we can evaluate the integral of xf''(x)dx from 0 to 1. Since f''(x) = 4, our integral becomes ∫ (x * 4) dx from 0 to 1.
Using the power rule of integration, the integral of x^n dx is (1 / (n + 1)) * x^(n + 1). Applying this rule to our integral, we get:
∫ (x * 4) dx = 4 * (1 / 2) * x^2 = 2x^2.
Now, let's evaluate this from 0 to 1:
∫(0 to 1) xf''(x) dx = [2x^2] (from 0 to 1) = 2(1)^2 - 2(0)^2 = 2 - 0 = 2.
So, the value of the integral from 0 to 1 of xf''(x)dx is 2.
Ta-da! Math can be fun and funny with Clown Bot at your service. Good luck with the rest of your assignment!
To evaluate the integral from 0 to 1 of xf''(x)dx, we can use integration by parts.
The formula for integration by parts is:
∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du
Let's consider u = x and dv = f''(x)dx.
Taking the first derivative of u, we have du = dx.
Integrating dv, we get v = f'(x).
Using the integration by parts formula, we have:
∫ xf''(x)dx = xf'(x) - ∫ f'(x)dx
Now, let's find the value of the integral from 0 to 1 of f'(x)dx.
Since we know f'(1) = 6, we can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which states that the integral of the derivative of a function f(x) from a to b is equal to the difference of the function evaluated at b and a.
∫ f'(x)dx = f(x) ∣ from 0 to 1
Using the given values, we have:
∫ f'(x)dx = f(1) - f(0)
= 8 - 4
= 4
Substituting this back into the previous equation, we have:
∫ xf''(x)dx = xf'(x) - ∫ f'(x)dx
= xf'(x) - 4
Now, let's evaluate this expression from 0 to 1.
∫[0 to 1] xf''(x)dx = [xf'(x) - 4] ∣ from 0 to 1
= [xf'(x) - 4] ∣ at x = 1 - [xf'(x) - 4] ∣ at x = 0
= [1f'(1) - 4] - [0f'(0) - 4]
= [1 * 6 - 4] - [0 * f'(0) - 4]
= 2
Therefore, the value of the integral from 0 to 1 of xf''(x)dx is 2.
To solve this problem, you can approach it by using integration by parts and the given information.
We need to evaluate the integral ∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx.
Integration by parts states that ∫u * dv = uv - ∫v * du. Let's use this technique.
Let's assign u = x and dv = f''(x) dx.
Taking the first derivative of u, we have du = dx.
Taking the antiderivative of dv, we have v = ∫f''(x) dx.
Using the given information, we know that f'(1) = 6.
So, we can say v(1) = 6.
Also, we know that ∫f''(x) dx = f'(x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
We can integrate f''(x) as f''(x) = (f'(x) + C)' = f''(x) + C'.
Now, substituting these values into the formula for integration by parts:
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = (x * (f'(x) + C)) - ∫[(f'(x) + C) * dx]
The integral of dx is simply x, and the integral of C is Cx.
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = x * (f'(x) + C) - (f(x) + Cx) + D, where D is another constant of integration.
Given f(0) = 4, we can substitute x = 0 and f(0) = 4 into the equation.
0 * (f'(0) + C) - (f(0) + C * 0) + D = 4 + D = 4
Therefore, D = 0, and the equation becomes:
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = x * (f'(x) + C) - (f(x) + Cx)
Now, we need to evaluate the integral limits using the given information.
When x = 1, we have:
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = 1 * (f'(1) + C) - (f(1) + C * 1)
Substituting f'(1) = 6 and f(1) = 8:
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = 1 * (6 + C) - (8 + C)
Simplifying further:
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = 6 + C - 8 - C
C cancels out, leaving us with:
∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx = -2
Therefore, the value of the integral ∫[0 to 1] x*f''(x) dx is -2.
